And Christians say what...........

It's not Christian nationalists it is national Christians, who will stay a bit longer in their churches so they won't have to witness the evil results of their behaviors. They are a godless anomaly of humans.....

Don’t put all Christians in the same category. Christians who follow Jesus Christ are not the MAGA Christian Nationalists. Not even close. Please.

Refer her case to the Lawyer Marc Elias (Democracy Docket). He has taken Trump to court and Trump looses everytime. He's a pitbull. That's who she needs. Refer this case to Norm Eisen. He keeps winning too. Get the lawyer and get this reversed. Go for it. It's your well written, compassionate story and you got the spunk to do it.

The decent to which America, a once respected nation, has plummeted is staggering. No nation is ideal, all nations have their faults, but the malicious, racist cess pool of governance elected by half of America is quickly turning the United States into a pariah. May the other half of the United States find a way to survive the coming carnage. A heartbreaking story. Keep your voice loud and strong.

This is exactly what I want, though. I support sob story substacks like this because they advertise to the world what a cruel, heartless place America is, thus deterring migrants from coming. I want the idea that “America is a place for everyone” buried alive never to rise again. If the whole world keeps seeing these stories advertised over and over, they’ll get the fucking memo and stop coming.

Thank you, dissent in bloom!

Once that has happened, all of you cruel heartless Americans who wanted the country to yourself, will then turn on each other, ripping each other to shreds like a pack of wild animals. The country will then be wiped clean, and perhaps begin to heal. Because someone like yourself who loves destruction will have to continue to destroy.

Nope! We’ll have peace and quiet,

Homogenous harmony without your constant agitating and rioting “for a better world.” Your revenge fantasy won’t occur.

Same people who keep a braindead woman on artificial life support to give birth to a likely non -viable fetus

Pro-life? Not a chance

A part of my heart has died while reading this. Imagine living it! Imagine that it is YOUR child! I cannot even fathom all that her mother is going through. 😭

I continue to be shocked at the depravity of this administration. It doesn’t feel like 47 is human, let alone a father and grandfather.

This has to stop NOW!!

The identifier of Christian used to designate a follower of Christ… the basics are to love ones neighbor ( even the Samaritan who was a reviled person of the Hebrews and therefore supposedly, Jesus the Christ. Then came the admonition to feed and cloth and visit …essentially to care for other humans… even Romans (the oppressors). Lord, Lord, when did I see you and so needed to feed you? If you have a smattering of Christian exposure, you know the answer to these admonitions and the question. If you do not do them, you cannot look the G-D in the eye in heaven and ask for a pass.

The term "Christian Nationalists" are who do unChristian speech and acts. They have not one Christian bone in their bodies. Do not know or read the Bible. They are haters. Hate of those they feel threatened or belittled by (immigrants, people needing Medicaid, food stamps, etc.) We have to remember this, always.

Wonderful work! You should feel very proud! You saved this little girl. You are so much more than a "journalist." You give a voice to those who have none. You expose the cruelty that is creeping into our society. You inspire the rest of us.
