“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.

The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.

I was just recently having an internal debate on whether to refer to the US government as extremist Christians or not. I guess this solves that dilemma.

Alright bet.

So...

The entire fucking GOP, all of project 2025?

Let's ask the fuckin Pope, shall we?? Put up or STFU. This administration is such a pathetic display of cowardice.

So in case you didn’t get the memo, lots of evangelicals don’t like the pope because he’s too tolerant.

Yea, that's all well and good.

That's not how Catholicism works.

I don't like Trump. Doesn't mean dick.

You have a point in here somewhere if we can just tease it out I’m curious

Christian is not the same as Catholic though. Catholics are a minority in the US.

This has always been the next step. They go after gays and transvestites first. Then it's atheist and any non-Christian person. The Christian fascist are taking over. Arm yourselves
