No, God would not be “proud” of Trump’s work. And no, Trump has not been good for religion.

Today, the Supreme Court is hearing the oral arguments in two pivotal cases concerning the dignity of our beloved trans youth. So we’re outside of SCOTUS showing that people of faith support our trans neighbors! Because all lives are sacred. ❤️ @aclu.org

Calling our fellow Americans “barbarians” because of how they pray is un-American and antithetical to the right to freedom of religion guaranteed in the First Amendment. Any Member of Congress should know that. Congressman Fine should delete this post and apologize immediately.
A screenshot of a tweet from Rep Randy Fine reads "The barbarians are no longer outside the gate, they’re inside. This is happening in Brooklyn, New York.  America must wake up now." The tweet is a quote tweet of a video showing Muslim men praying in a Brooklyn street.

The Trump administration is anti-religion.
Salon headline says "Faith under attack: More clergy arrested at ICE facility protest. Assaults and arrests of religious leaders in Chicago protests reflect a pattern of ICE escalation against clergy." A photo shows a pastor at a protest who has just been peppersprayed or hit with pepper balls. He is being treated.

The Rhode Island State Council of Churches is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its attempt to halt SNAP during the government shutdown. We express our solidarity in their just legal fight to feed the hungry: www.interfaithalliance.org/post/solidar...
Text-based graphic with an Interfaith Alliance logo reads "We express our solidarity with the Rhode Island State Council of Churches (RISCC) for their just action in suing the Trump administration over its attempt to halt SNAP during the government shutdown.

RISCC is not alone. Faith-based organizations around the country are meeting the needs of hungry Americans who are already suffering under other cuts by the Trump administration to benefits and services. The Trump administration’s decision to halt and even “undo” SNAP payments will make more Americans hungry – and many of those hungry Americans will turn to houses of worship and faith-based food pantries as their last resort. Meeting this surge in demand will be unsustainable for religious communities and divert funds away from other ministries. The legal fight to maintain SNAP payments through the shutdown is not just about hunger, but also the ability of our houses of worship and faith-based organizations to continue to keep their doors open to provide for the American people. This is yet another example of the Administration’s lack of appreciation for the role that American churches and other faith communities play in our society."

Text reads “On October 7, we reflect on how the horrors of the last two years have wrought tremendous harm not only on Israelis and Palestinians, but on so many of their family members and extended communities here in the United States. We have seen many communities legitimately hurt and alarmed by those who have failed to acknowledge their humanity and pain. We have witnessed proponents of hatred and fear do everything possible to stoke division within and between our communities.”Text reads “In the face of these challenges, we have also seen inspiring and impressive examples of communities coming together to understand and support one another across divides, even as they grapple with their own trauma and needs. We continue to strongly believe in the importance and power of interfaith partnership to honor our shared humanity, and to stand together in defense of American democracy and in opposition to all forms of bigotry, including antisemitism, anti-Muslim hatred, and anti-Palestinian racism.”
