Very different than the Church of Christ. The UCC is a very progressive church and always has been. I believe it was the first mainstream Protestant church to ordain women and wed LGBTQ people.

That's pretty much the 1st Oregon Congressional district which is represented
by Suzanne Bonamici, a Democrat. She won reelection in 2024 by 68.6 percent,
so there shouldn't be much MAGA influence there. No idea why they would be
showing that propaganda there unless they're trying to "own the libs".

the more you expose people to things, even if they are untrue it will alter their beliefs.

After all the sh*t that ICE did in Portland, the protesters they arrested, the residents exposed to tear gas, people shot with pepper balls, they just want to abuse them some more. It's incompatible with the people of Portland and Regal should be ashamed (and condemned) for showing propaganda to an audience who didn't pay to be exposed to lies...
Long live the Frogs!

Theaters believe this DOD advertisement money (not DOW) will save their franchise. Nope. Overpriced tickets are not in my budget. I don’t need them and will not support their propaganda venue for dear leader.

For the filthy-rich to feed you their propaganda, through movie theater trailers. This war must be making filthy-rich elite capitalists big bucks.

What if you told them they had to pay 90% taxes like they paid in 1963?
