About 80% of the 870,000 #families who currently get the #childcare #subsidies have #single #WorkingParents, most of them #SingleMothers, acc/to Health Department data.
The policy change would effectively create a government incentive for #married #parents to stay home with their #children, an idea embraced as part of a broader #conservative effort to advance policies that promote more mothers staying at home.

Two-thirds of the new judges have no #immigration #law experience listed in their online biographies, a break from previous years when many, if not most, candidates had experience in that area, according to an analysis of available #DOJ announcements. Only 24% had worked for #DHS, #ICE or the immigration #courts. The National Association of Immigration Judges said the Justice Department has cut training from nearly 5 weeks to 3.

David Gushee looks at why so many post-evangelical churches are now flourishing in the US, and he notes one big factor: many of these churches moved away from evangelicalism because of the stance of evangelical churches towards LGBTQ people.

"Pulling back the curtain reveals mechanisms of gender-based violence, emotional suppression, and a militant disposition that white boys and men believe will make them feel seen."

"Christianity is weaponizing masculinity. No wonder young boys assume leadership is their inherent, God-given right rather than something earned. …
Fundamental to the question of white Christian nationalism is masculinity — both what and how we are teaching young boys to express their own."

"Young men’s indoctrination into Christian nationalism starts in the classroom, the locker room, or the church pew.
'Promising young men' are seldom taught to think about race or gender beyond a lens of otherness. Chivalry tangles with patriarchy, and little white boys are taught that in the image of white Jesus, they are their family’s greatest gifts."

"The problem isn’t that people of color and other marginalized people are lacking the necessary qualities – intelligence, ambition, discipline, networks and other qualifications, other merit – to climb their way up to positions of power and influence in greater numbers. The problem is the longstanding & widespread practice of granting preferences to straight white American men."

"We’ve mainly obsessed over why people of color, women and LGBTQ+ individuals are 'underrepresented' rather than asking: why are straight white American men so dramatically overrepresented in positions of power?"

"For decades, the way that government entities, institutions, organizations, and even advocates and activists have gone about addressing inequality in this country has been fundamentally flawed. We’ve asked the wrong questions, pursued the wrong solutions, and accepted the wrong premises."

#House #Republicans hosted a hearing centered on the #SPLC in December, saying it coordinated efforts with President Joe Biden’s Democratic admin “to target Christian & conservative Americans & deprive them of their constitutional rights to free speech & free association.” [only if they’re planning or performing acts of #violence & then all they do is report them & publish articles about them… so???]

#FBI Dir #KashPatel said last year that the agency was severing its relationship with the #SPLC, which had long provided law enforcement with research on #HateCrime & domestic #extremism. Patel said the SPLC had been turned into a “partisan smear machine,” & accused it of defaming “mainstream Americans” with its “hate map” that documents alleged anti-government & hate groups inside the US.

The #SPLC came under fresh scrutiny after the murder last year of conservative activist Charlie Kirk brought renewed attention to its characterization of the group that Kirk founded & led. The SPLC included a section on that group, Turning Point USA, in a report titled “The Year in #Hate & #Extremism 2024” that [rightly] described the group as “A Case Study of the Hard Right in 2024.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center has faced intense criticism from #conservatives, who have accused it of unfairly maligning right-wing organizations as #extremist groups because of their viewpoints [you know the viewpoints of — #WhiteSupremacy #MaleSupremacy #heterosexism #WhiteChristianNationalism etc]. The #SPLC regularly condemns #Trump’s rhetoric & policies around #VotingRights, #immigration & other issues.

The investigation could add to concerns that the #Trump Republican admin is using the #DOJ to go after #conservative opponents & his critics. It follows a number of other investigations into Trump foes that have raised questions about whether the law enforcement agency has been turned into a political weapon.

The #SPLC, which is based in Montgomery, Alabama, was founded in 1971 & used civil litigation to fight #WhiteSupremacist groups. The nonprofit has become a popular target among #Republicans who see it as overly leftist & partisan [because #WhiteSupremacy is a-okay with Republicans].

“When we began working with informants, we were living in the shadow of the height of the #CivilRights Movement, which had seen bombings at churches, state-sponsored #violence against demonstrators, & the murders of activists that went unanswered by the justice system,” Fair said. “There is no question that what we learned from informants saved lives.”

The #SPLC previously paid informants to infiltrate #extremist groups & gather information on their activities, often sharing it with local & federal law enforcement, Fair said. It was used to monitor threats of #violence, he said, adding that the program was kept quiet to protect the safety of informants.
