I am sure hoping that the coming election season will foster more deep conversation about the separation of church and state, as well as the separation of powers generally. "We the People" need a renewed lesson in civics, and I'd love to see that as part of the curriculum handed Gov. Walz.

And not the Christian Nationalist civics Florida taxpayers paid $2 or $3K a pop for public school teachers to indoctrinate Florida’s students. Actual, fact-based civics. I’d even settle for Schoolhouse Rock.

Or even School of Rock. Jack Black and Gov Walz would be a great pair 👍🏻

Thank you Andra for your continued work educating us on the threat to our Rights as guaranteed in the US Constitution by those pushing Project 2025 and it’s blasphemous “Christo-fascist” agenda. Project 2025 is 2Peter2. It is hate. It is darkness and cruelty. There is no darkness with God - only light - light so strong that Moses wore a veil to interact with the people after coming down from the mountain.

Jesus death tore apart the curtains in the Temple. We no longer need these self appointed humans to interpret our interactions with the Almighty. Like the Pharisees of Jesus time they are hypocrites who want the best for themselves but want others to obey “laws”.

Jesus Christ resurrection gave HIS followers the Holy Spirit. Those who follow the teachings of Jesus are guided by the Holy Spirit. They no more need these new blasphemous “Christian Nationalist’s or Dominionist’s” hypocrites than the followers of Jesus needed the hypocritical Pharisees 2000 years ago.

Let God be God and let the law of humans treat each other as they would want to be treated.

That means equality.

Judge ye not lest ye be judged- Guess these wingnuts forgot this biblical quote. Definitely not followers of Christ, there focus is self serving…

It is about themselves and their own power at the expense of everyone and everything else.

I live in Florida. I watch church online so I don’t have to see the hypocrites. Our Governor ,as the country already knows, is nuts. He is in office until 2026. How do you go about impeachment? Telling all who will listen to vote blue up and down, so maybe rick scott won’t be elected again. Many have sipped on the kool-aid here. Ugh. Thank you for letting me vent.

One reason this space exists? For us to vent. It helps us know we aren’t alone, that lots of us are determined to do something about Fascist Republicans.
