Very little reward for such a high risk.

Kids need more rights.

They're not criticizing the world, they're criticizing three religions that have a similar foundation. What about their criticisms do you think are invalid?

Did they realize the kid had been kidnapped and alerted the authorities?

I keep wondering about the type of boarding school that accepts kidnapped kids? Seems like the school officials and staff could be guilty of some crimes for aiding and abetting and for some pretty terrible prison-like conditions.

I'm coming to the belief that we must all choose our own morals and values and there's no shortcut by relying on other people to tell us what's important. Religions can give a helpful framework or a starting point but there's always conflicts of interest and fear and greed that get in the way.

If there's no evidence of high crime rates, that just proves crime is out of control.

A certain type of values, that's for sure. Not my values.

Who in their right mind thinks it's their job to snatch a kid off the street as he's trying to make his way to the bathroom and then stash him in a dungeon without alerting city police or the parents? Who are these assholes? Why do we allow the Nazi SS in our society?

Keep a close eye on your kids, I guess, because now ICE is the creep driving around in a van snatching people off the street and hiding them in dungeons. Remember how kids are taught to fear getting snatched by strangers? It's happening now but this time it's law enforcement with qualified immunity.

This is fucking outrageous. ICE kidnapping has got to stop and these goons have got to be prosecuted.

🧵
ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

Some peoples' Christian faith prevents them from being Nationalist while other peoples' Christian faith inspires or requires them to be Nationalists. Christianity is full of variety, and not a small number of conflicting beliefs.

Her prosecutor, who was considered for a judge position, thought he would try to hook-up with someone he was prosecuting for kidnapping. He didn't "lose his way" as the judge said, he's an adult lawyer who made choices, not a toddler.

“The Court does not condone what occurred on May 25, 2023. For whatever reason, Mr. Tierney lost his way and again and again during the evening of May 25, 2023, compounded his error until his behavior became nearly incomprehensible. Then, when this was called to his attention, he withdrew from representing the government in court, but he continued to be involved in the case behind the scenes,” the judge wrote.

A mother is accused of having people kidnap her son, handcuff him, and drive for more than 24 hours across the country to a boarding school. His father found out and rescued him. The person prosecuting her happened to see her in a bar and hit on her. amp.fresnobee.com/news/local/a...

Since angels don't breed and therefore don't display varying genetic traits as a result of evolution and certain traits having better survival rates, I'd assume they all look identical in their natural form. (I like fantasy and science fiction)

Christian MAGA is definitely the white evangelical equivalent.

All Christians pick and choose which sections to emphasize and which to deemphasize. Some Christians like the authoritarian, violent, and retribution parts.

They're trans aren't they? Since angels have no real gender but they're portraying gender?

Who are these genderless beings portraying themselves as sexy white transgender manly-men going to shoot here in America for Ken Malone?

The Christian org is the worst at apologizing and showing remorse for doing harm.

At least their "album" recording is better than their streaming they provided of their events. bsky.app/profile/some...

SometimesPDX @sometimespdx.bsky.social · May 5

They said they got a quote of $7500 just for the wi-fi at the event so they could livestream. Here's what they came up with - a good view of umbrellas and terrible, terrible sound.

I imagine it's extremely challenging to record good sound when your at an outdoor venue in a location far from home. I kinda feel embarrassed for them but I feel more embarrassed for the bigots and christofascists who were suckered into donating money for this amateur grift.

Jenny Donnelly begged for donations for their anti-LGBTQ+ Christian Nationalist "MayDay" rallies and used money to record her daughter's performance at the rally and now they put out an "album." It's an awful recording. So much static and interference, sounds like I'm listening through a tin can.

The charismatic white evangelicals are really embracing of the whole "We love ICE goons" movement. The person who posted this, Ken Malone, is a pastor in Alabama who does speaking engagements with NAR leaders including Dutch Sheets and Clay Nash.
