The U.S. government is trying to figure out a way to pay people for reporting on anyone who supports trans lives.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the FBI to create a cash reward system for information leading to the arrest of leaders of so-called “domestic terrorist organizations,” a category the Justice Department now says includes people and groups associated with what it calls “radical gender ideology,” according to a December 4 memorandum.

The guidance operationalizes National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, issued by Donald Trump in September, by ordering federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to prioritize investigations and prosecutions tied to an expansive definition of domestic terrorism. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein first reported on the memo’s existence on Tuesday, after it was leaked.

Among the ideologies flagged are “adherence to radical gender ideology,” along with positions favoring mass migration, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, and hostility toward “traditional views on family, religion, and morality,” the memo states.

      I’ve said this before: try going to an open and affirming church and telling them that they hate the trans people in their pews because the church down the street does.

      “Christianity” is a big umbrella.

          Historical Jesus was pretty woke. Unfortunately, most of Christianity instead follows the teachings of some guy named Paul… who didn’t even know Jesus!

      Sometimes I feel Christianity was usurped by the variant of Christianity in the Inquisitor Cycle (and related video game).

      That Christianity openly believes:

      • Jesus hopped off the cross, murdered every single Jew in Judea who opposed him, and took over the Roman Empire.
      • Mercy and forgiveness are tools of evil. If someone tries to fuck with you, they need to suffer.
      • Any who oppose Christianity must be summarily executed.
