The Vietnam war was also not called a war, it was called a police action. It seems the Executive Branch’s ability to wage war without congress’s approval is a constitutional loophole.

Edited for clarity

The effort is a counter strike to what critics see as unprecedented moves by federal officials to ride roughshod over children’s rights and increase deportations – while in the meantime corralling them in conditions that can allegedly lead to psychological harm.

It’s fascinating that this admin is in support of Christian Nationalism, and once again kids are imperiled. Like Donald Capps said, “Religion and Child Abuse Are Perfect Together.”

8+ billion people in the world, we’re stripping earth’s resources to support all of them, and governments are paying cash for you have more babies.

The scientists from the politically blue state of Maryland didn’t want to move to the red state of Iowa.

Would Vance take advantage of an elderly president with dementia?

Will the Trump bootlickers in congress care?

They are the states supplied by Lake Mead, aka Lower Basin States.

It used to be that airplanes had to keep 1000 feet of altitude over residential areas. A drone with its camera can come right up to your front door? Fly over your home, take pictures of your yard?

When government compels education, there’s an implication that knowledge is valued. Obviously this is not true when those who desire Christian Nationalism get in power. Our constitutional writers made a severe mistake by putting religion above government regulation. The unchanging church and its ignorance.

I’m not enamored with Musk, but chatbots should have to follow the same laws as the rest of us. If they threaten or encourage violence, they need a visit from the FBI and perhaps some handcuffs and a perp walk.

One of the most basic lessons of Christianity is the need to ask for forgiveness. Trump once held up a bible for a photo op, we keep hearing rumblings of Christian Nationalism apparently from this current administration, and Trump now declares, “I’ll never apologize.” That’s about as anti-Christian as a message can be.

One thing that bothers me here at Lemmy is that a lot of the news stories I feel are important, are first carried at pravda_news@news.abolish.capital, whose about page makes Russian and Lenin inferences. So, if we’re Americans resonating with a message such as not funding shock gloves for ICE, boom, there’s a linkage to an apparent Russia and Lenin page. Do we then become targets of private-sector corporate attack? Simply because we’re against Night Watches and Slave Patrols?

So they allow child abuse in Texas? Christianity = child abuse. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Beat the little ones with a rod to save their souls from Sheol.

As long as they don’t mention the bible or religion, they seem to think that meets the standard of Separation of Church and State, while they seem otherwise free to force their biblical ideas of sex and gender on the populace.

Scapegoating an 85-year old retiree? Not a good look.

Religious demographics of Louisiana, 74% Christian, 4% other religions, 21% unaffiliated, according to Pew Research. Wanna take bets that mob had a high percentage of Christians? Would beating a couple of transgenders in the park be new testament treatment, or old testament? I’m thinking the latter…

Meanwhile, in my country, the US government gives tax credits for children. No kids? No tax credits.

Is it legal for a service to be called private when it is programmatically shared with law enforcement?

What a travesty. It’s not surprising that a religion that advocates beating children (Proverbs 13:24 & 20:30) would not want to report parents who abuse children.

Voters can stop the executive branch.
