Actually, the teachings of Jesus are catnip to Donald Trump and his MAGA followers.

Have you read ALL of the New Testament? The character arc of Jesus is clear. He starts out preaching love and acceptance, but then even in the Gospels starts threatening people, and by Revelation is full fascist.

23 people have died in ICE custody.

A Chinese immigrant named Chaofeng Ge was found hanging with his arms & legs tied behind his back.

Randall Esquivel was deported in a vegetative state & died soon after.

People are being tortured, neglected & disabled.

Abolish ICE & close the camps.

Why is Josh Riley joining in right wing Republican attacks against environmental protections?

These Democrats joined Republicans in peddling a conspiracy that foreign governments are trying to corrupt America's youth through public schools and voting to make schools racially profile parents and contractors.

Lots of articles right now about how people are keeping cars and phones "too long," or are "hurting the economy" by not buying disposable items. Reminder:they want us all to consume and consume and consume because that props up debt slavery and unfettered capitalism. Frugality is a revolutionary act

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Who will **he blame this time? He already fired the knowledgeable BLS "stats lady":

**Trump fired Erika McEntarfer on 8/1/25, just hours after the BLS released a weaker-than-expected jobs report for July 2025, which also included significant downward revisions to job growth for May and June.
Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.

Small businesses were the hardest hit.

Ithaca New York traffic is getting worse every year, and with new development along route 13, even bigger car clogs are on the way.
It's a good time to go full on pedestrian.

It's too easy to say that Christian Nationalism contradicts the teachings of Jesus.
In chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation, the Bible promises that God will unleash terrible monsters to torture all non-Christians for 5 months.
Jesus will be there to watch it.
People read that and get ideas.
When people ask how Christians can reconcile their support for Donald Trump's cruel MAGA ideology, I ask them to read the Bible's New Testament Book of Revelation Chapter 9, in which Jesus and the Christian god torture all non-Christians for 5 months until they want to die.

Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca and Binghamton voted for a bill written by cryptocurrency lobbyists to deregulate cryptocurrency.

Now, Bitcoin is crashing anyway.
Josh Riley sacrificed his integrity and gave us financial instability in its place.
Crypto = corruption.
Bitcoin got the deregulation it wanted from Congress.
Bitcoin got a President who promotes cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is still falling apart.
That's because Bitcoin was never anything other than a scam.

The absolute bullshit that is Bitcoin is represented in this "speculative report" written by ChatGPT that argues Bitcoin "will preserve our collapse" after the extinction of humanity.

What does that even mean?

He ran the most expensive campaign for Congress in 2024. What did Democrats get in return?

Ithaca and Tompkins County New York: That proposed Terawulf data center on Cayuga Lake isn't just environmentally harmful.

It will also serve G42, an anti-democracy fascist AI company run by the spymaster of the United Arab Emirates. G42 has a record of using AI tools to prop up authoritarianism.
G42, the AI company controlled by the authoritarian royal family of the UAE, is a fascist nightmare.

Josh Riley just voted for legislation condemning ALL forms of socialist policies. That includes public education, medical science, SNAP food assistance, Medicare, Social Security...

WTF Josh Riley?
Ithaca, your Congressman, Josh Riley, just voted for REPUBLICAN legislation that "denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies."

Public schools, Social Security, Medicare are all socialist policies.

As the GOP wrecks America, Josh Riley applauds them.
