Perfect argument, as to why Christian nationalism is total and utter bullshit. And that the Bible cannot dictate policy ever. Due to the fact that its meaning and interpretation is up for debate by nature.

We’re just days away from #NoKings Day and the world is about to roar.

Over 2,500 protests in all 50 states.

One message: we will not kneel to wannabe kings.

October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful defiance in American history, because when tyranny rises, courage catches fire.

Every time the GOP lies about Saturday’s peaceful protests, our massive No Kings Day events get even bigger.

We thank Republicans for their attention to this matter!

Aaron Rupar on Bluesky: “Trump on No Kings: "They have their day coming up.
I hear very few people are gonna be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun."”

I am so shocked about Fox News the low lifes that they are! The press must stick together on this! Just ignore his ass for real! The attention he desperately craves will be begged back and I hope they tell him to FUCK OFF UNTIL HE IS OUT THERE!

🔥 NO KINGS RALLY — OCT 18 🔥
This isn’t about parties. It’s about principles.
When leaders attack free speech, due process, and the press—
Silence is complicity.

We march not because we hate America,
but because we love it enough to defend it.
🇺🇸 Stand up for democracy.
