Marco Rubio's hunt for "#AntiChristian bias" is creeping #theocracy

In a new war on federal workers, State Department employees are told to snitch on people with #Pride flags

By Amanda Marcotte

Excerpt: "Unsurprisingly, a deeper read of the cable shows that 'anti-Christian bias' is the cover story propped up to justify Rubio's actual assault on freedom of religion at State. He's giving Christian nationalists at the agency a tool to harass and even Rpurge people who don't share their #FarRight beliefs. The definitions of 'anti-Christian bias' throughout add up to outrage that conservative Christians are expected to treat people who believe differently with fairness and decency.

"For instance, the memo asks for reports of 'mistreatment for opposing displays of flags, banners or other paraphernalia,' specifically during Joe Biden's administration. It doesn't take a doctorate in bureaucratese to interpret this. Rubio is seeking stories where conservative Christians were told to mind their own business after objecting to a colleague putting up a #PrideFlag, a #BlackLivesMatter sign or perhaps a religious knickknack from a #NonChristian faith. This might be more comprehensible if, say, any Christians had being told they couldn't wear a cross or have a picture of Jesus on their desk. Instead, what Rubio is suggesting is that Christians have [the right to] prevent other people from having the freedom to express views and positions they dislike — and that it amounts to 'bias' if they can't control what others do or say.

Marco Rubio sets up a State Department snitch line for "anti-Christmas bias"Salon.com

Ich glaube, Herr #Merz und seine Kollegen von der cdusubt (cducsu.de/abgeordnete/juergen-) unter Jürgen Hardt "brauchen" viel mehr Fragen zu dem Thema #maga , #heritagefoundation .

Das Beunruhigende an dem Vorgang ist, daß bislang Fragen z.B. von #correctiv ignoriert werden. Wie ein #noafd #Potsdam ohne Einordnung!

Es gibt dankenswerterweise schon eine Frage dazu auf abgeordnetenwatch.de/profile/f

Ich werde #merz + involvierte Personen auch auffordern sich zu erklären.
#Fragen dürfen wir noch!

TSA Officers Have a Dire Warning for America

youtube.com/watch?v=b3ciOdLCW5

First Trump tore up the union contract covering 47,000 TSA workers. Then he did the same for almost a million more federal workers.

Now TSA workers are sounding the alarm.

They warn Trump is putting our safety in jeopardy — and it could lead to another 9/11.

The #coup in #America is being led by three forces: #accelerationist billionaires, the #HeritageFoundation, and #Russia. #Musk and #Vance are there to do as much damage as possible, #project2025 is there to pick up the pieces. #Trump is irrelevant in the grand scheme. The big difference between the #US and other nations is the proliferation of firearms. There are more guns than people. The timeline has shrunk. The #US has, at best, a year before collapse, but it could be as quick as three months.

Report: "ALEC Publishes Its Own Project 2025 — for the States"

"Trump campaigned on a promise to fundamentally disrupt the current system by following his own playbook — essentially The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025":

* gut the federal government

* expand presidential powers

* impose a conservative social order

ALEC's complementary right-wing political agenda is at the state level.
