“When fascism wins it does so by co-opting the business elite. Fascism allies with the business elite against the cultural and intellectual elite.

You appeal to the billionaire class by saying, ‘We’re gonna cut your taxes. We’re gonna make sure regulations don’t apply to you. We’re gonna take care of the labor movement so you don’t need to worry about that.’ That’s why big business got behind the Nazis.”

"Despite their constant reassurances to the contrary, Republicans have officially begun the process of cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to offset the cost of tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. And right on cue, Republicans are playing dumb."

At the end of this historic week — a massive transfer of wealth from poor to rich, healthcare and food support ripped from millions — I'm wondering what bible texts U.S. churches will read and preach about this Sunday?

So many churches, so many texts, so many Christians eager to hear the words of Jesus and other scriptures preached — addressing us in the world in which we live today, of course.
