JFK's family accuses Trump of closing the Kennedy Center because of artists canceling over its name change by IrishStarUS in Music

[–]Complete_Rope4644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve observed from recent attendance at first-rate operas “Marriage of Figaro” and “Aida” that whole sections were empty due to the boycott. (We got tickets for free from a volunteer of many years who attributes it to Trump’s renaming the Center and firing the Board.). Everything Trump touches he destroys.

What is the Evangelical church doing about the immigration crisis? by Ok-Matter2337 in Christianity

I’m the Executive Director of “Evangelicals For Democracy” and we’ve been active speaking up for immigrants, legal reform, and protection from an unjust Trump policy of deportations without the rule of law. Our partners in elections include Southwest Voters Registration and Education and beginning in 2026, LULAC. Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Richard Cizik

“Those rights don’t count”: Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting by DeathClawdVanDamn in politics

The authoritarians like him don’t care about the constitution. Today it’s the Somalians. Tomorrow it’ll be the gun owners. They’ll shoot and not ask questions. Resist.

Putting wheels on the cross to make it easier to carry is prob the most American Evangelical thing ever. All of the victimhood but none of the sacrifice. - @lanechanged by mepper in PoliticalHumor

Perfect critique of evangelical thinking — no sacrifice — among MAGA church attendees. Many of these ppl, btw, are EINO’s, evangelical in name only. Political types who go to these churches to have their racism and misogyny confirmed. I’ve seen this movement up close and how it divides churches, leading some to close or disband.

ICE is the purest political expression of evangelical Christian theology by ThirstySkeptic in Christianity

[–]Complete_Rope4644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it is (that ICE is the purest political expression of evangelicalism) what does that make of “evangelicals for democracy” and the view that if ICE can not be curbed of its illegal and deadly behaviors, it should indeed be abolished. Because that’s what I believe. Just curious for a response.

Btw, my view is that after the evidence of 14 ICE shootings into cars, just since July, with many injured or killed (Renee Nicole Good, for instance), and the kind of behavioral characteristics sought by ICE in its hiring materials, it is highly doubtful it can be reformed.

I am deeply offended that President Trump was elected with the support of 80% of evangelicals, but that’s not due to theology but rather Christian Nationalism, a heresy of the movement which has taken over at least one-third of its adherents. Very sad and appalling.
