Evil cannot be wielded to fight evil, because evil always controls the one wielding it.
Scripture instead says, “Repay no one evil for evil...”
And “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:17, 21)
Around 2/3 of the country doesn’t support ICE, doesn’t think it’s making us safer, and doesn’t think the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good were justified.
It’s dragging down Trump’s approval and now Republicans are seeing 30+ pt swings against them in Texas.
The smug MAGA types on this platform have let the algorithm blind them to the nationwide revulsion towards the government’s lawless thuggery.
@piratechristian Not to mention, we didn't separate into different ethnicities until the Tower of Babel. God scattered mankind, not to keep us separate but so that we would spread out.
Also, Acts 17:26: "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth,"
Coca-Cola's clever winter sales hack: They didn't invent Santa Claus—but their 1930s ads helped cement the jolly red-suited version we know today.
Fact-check reality: Coke removed cocaine from the formula by ~1903 (trace amounts lingered briefly via "spent" leaves). The drink was plain cola by the early 20th century.
Sales dipped in winter (seen as a "cool" summer drink), so advertisers tied it to Christmas—boosting year-round consumption. Artist Haddon Sundblom's 1931–1960s paintings popularized a warm, plump Santa in red/white (inspired by 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" & Thomas Nast's earlier depictions). Santa's red suit predates Coke (common from 19th century), but their massive campaigns standardized the image globally.
They didn't "make up" Santa (roots in St. Nicholas, merged with Kris Kringle/Father Christmas folklore over centuries), nor decanonize anyone or invent chimney-thief tales—that's myth/misremembered history. But yes: Coke's marketing amplified Christmas as a consumer event, influencing traditions and even how other holidays positioned themselves (e.g., Hanukkah's modern emphasis in the US partly as a December counterweight).

Mind-blowing how ads shape what we think is "timeless tradition"? What's the wildest marketing myth you've heard?
#OTD January 14, 1604:
The Hampton Court Conference convenes in London, bringing together King James I and Puritan leaders to discuss possible reforms in the Church of England. Although the Puritans hoped for significant changes, the conference yielded few concessions. However, it led to the commissioning of the King James Version of the Bible, completed in 1611.
Nicole Shanahan sounds the alarm on one of the most “TERRIFYING” court rulings in history.
99% of people didn’t notice.
A federal court quietly said the government can force ANY medical intervention on you.
With no evidence.
No judicial review.
But we just fought back.
The Ninth Circuit Court in California ruled that as long as government officials say a mandate is for “public health,” courts shouldn’t question them.
We’re petitioning the Supreme Court to review that dangerous and unprecedented ruling.
Now, this may become the most consequential Supreme Court case of the 21st century:🧵
@JesseKellyDC@julie_kelly2 I guess its a "riot" now, not an insurrection. If they are having a candlelight vigil what is the tragedy? Are they admitting to the miscarriage of justice that was carried up those political prisoners arrested after J6?
Zero. That’s the number of federal gun control measures authorized by the constitution.
The national firearms act of 1934 is not constitutionally authorized to exist
