Christian Persecution around the world...and here in the US
https://www.faithwire.com/2023/05/04/sobering-horrors-persecution-fears-leave-armenian-christians-feeling-abandoned-by-believers-around-the-world/
Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at persecution watchdog Christian Solidarity International (CSI), told CBN’s Faithwire he recently visited Armenia and collected firsthand stories from those experiencing the human catastrophe.
“It was really sobering,” Veldkamp said of his trip. “We got to go to almost the very south of the country, and we were able to drive right up to the beginning of the road that’s been blockaded by Azerbaijani soldiers, so we could see the road stretching off into the distance, empty [and] no traffic going along it.”
The blockage of the Lachin corridor, which began Dec. 12 and has persisted despite international condemnation, took form when individuals identifying as Azerbaijani protestors reportedly blocked the road, preventing food, medicine, and essential transport in or out of the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Problems between Armenia and Azerbaijan have historic roots, with the blockage becoming the latest rift over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh territory, considered by Armenian Christians to be their homeland.
Veldkamp said he met with Armenian Christian families who were forced to flee their homes three years ago when Azerbaijan “attacked their homeland.”
“They’re living … now as displaced people,” he said, noting the situation remains tense. “The Armenians feel very alone and very forgotten. They’re seeing that Azerbaijan, this really dreadful dictatorship that stirs up hatred against them — racial hatred, religious hatred — is able to do pretty much anything that it wants.”

This is nothing compared to what christians in other countries are experiencing...but it is the beginning.

Should a Catholic hospital be forced to snuff out its Eucharistic candle in order to provide care to the elderly, poor, and infirm? That is precisely the position taken by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), on multiple occasions, with St. Francis Hospital and Health System in Oklahoma. In order to continue to get reimbursements for care provided under CMS programs, the Catholic hospital will have to violate Catholic canons by getting rid of its Eucharistic candle, or removing its tabernacle and stop conducting Mass on site:
good idea putting all these businesses under the purview of gov't...means they can be controlled when the time comes.

We Are Witnessing a Nationwide Campaign of Harassment and Persecution Against Christians Because of What They Believe
by Michael Snyder May 11, 2023 in Commentary, Curated
Christianity is rapidly becoming synonymous with “hate”, and that puts us in very dangerous territory. Because once a certain class of people becomes classified as a “hate group”, they become targets. Unfortunately, Christians are already being systematically targeted right now. Matt Taibbi and his colleagues just put out an excellent article about the “Censorship-Industrial Complex” that is rapidly evolving all around us.
Dozens of major organizations are working together to suppress speech that they do not like. Once an individual or a group has been identified as being problematic, they can suddenly be hit from multiple directions all at once. That can often mean having their social media accounts “deplatformed”, but it can also mean being “de-banked” by financial institutions.

In fact, JPMorgan Chase is being accused of “de-banking” quite a few Christian organizations simply because of what they believe…
Nineteen Republican state attorneys general asserted on Tuesday that JPMorgan Chase “de-banked” organizations for their conservative and religious tendencies, calling on the nation’s largest financial institution to respect the viewpoints of their customers.

The media doesn't want you to know it is happening. That's why they report on stupid stuff and feed us lies.
