  1. "Authoritarianism necessitates religious nationalism. Because the goal of authoritarianism and neo-fascism is to make people engage in moral deregulation, to stop believing what you have believed, to stop holding certain things true, to surrender, surrender your moral foundations. ... C. Eric Lincoln called it Americanity."

  6. “'God chose Ethan for a reason,' one South Carolina mother told the Independent this February after her son was paralyzed by measles encephalitis.

    'If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn’t have given my son the vaccine,' she said, citing the misleading scare line publicly shared by Kennedy and Trump that children today receive too many shots."

  8. "The people dragging America’s public health system toward a new dark age are not demonic. Rather, they are morally bankrupt and high on the supply of theocratic self-righteousness, with no regard to how their words and actions affect real people’s wellbeing.

    Christian nationalist language gives calculated government neglect the sheen of providence."

  12. "Sociologists Joseph Baker, Stephen Perry and Andrew Whitehead, who have studied the movement, write that because science provides an 'alternative source of moral authority beyond divine revelation', Christian nationalists perceive institutional science 'as a threat to the supremacy of Christianity'."

  13. “'What we’re seeing in the US today is the attempt to use religion and Christian nationalism to erode a scientifically based social contract of trust between government and the people, and replace it with a more authoritarian relationship,' adds [Gary] Gunderson [Baptist minister and professor of public health science at Wake Forest University School of Medicine]."

  14. "Terms such as 'spiritual warfare' and ''spiritual attack', [Savannah] Tate says, are central to the movement’s vocabulary – part of a binary, warcentric and mystical rhetoric leveraging fear and disinformation to keep people on their toes against enemies both tangible and spiritual."

  15. It's not accidental that RFKJr — the lifelong philander with multiple marriages and affairs — goes around babbling about “spiritual malaise,” "spiritual warfare,” “malevolent forces,” and the “sacred ritual” of family dinner time. In talking this way, he's seeding in public discourse — about health matters — Christian nationalist memes.

  16. Adrienne Matei notes what we sometimes miss about RFKJr's attack on public health, science, and research:

    "From prescribing spiritual warfare to demonizing health experts, RFK Jr’s health empire has become a dangerous vehicle for a Christian nationalist worldview."

  17. "I am no preacher, but what I have learned in my Baptist Church about the Old Testament prophets makes me suspect that God may not look very favorably on being asked to bless a government that is busy slamming its doors to refugees and taking food out of the mouths of hungry people while its corrupt leaders manipulate the system to enrich themselves."

  18. The recruits are being offered signing bonuses, the opportunity to work from home, & even the flexibility to keep their day jobs & moonlight as judges after hours. New hires can earn up to $207,500 a year and 25 percent signing bonuses in some Democrat led-states such as California.

  19. The firings come as the #Trump admin is simultaneously implementing policies that make it more difficult for immigrants to prevail in court. Under new orders from the #DOJ’s Board of #Immigration Appeals, judges have been refusing to grant bond hearings & are dismissing cases at the govt’s request so that defendants can be arrested. They are also being advised to grant #asylum more sparingly. Asylum rejections doubled from 2024 to 2025.

    #law #rigged #WhiteSupremacy #WhiteChristianNationalism

  20. The hiring spree follows the #DOJ’s firings of >100 #immigration judges since #Trump took office, an unprecedented #purge, & a similar number have retired or resigned. >140 new judges have been appointed so far to replace them, many of whom have NO stated experience practicing #ImmigrationLaw &, according to the National Association of Immigration Judges, are receiving less training than previously offered.

  21. Between 2017 & late last year, the government sought to strip just over 120 naturalized Americans of their #citizenship. Such cases were far less common before #Trump was first elected, said Ms. Frost, who has written about the history of #denaturalization. Between 1990 & 2017, the government filed 305 denaturalization cases, an average of 11 per year.

    Southern Poverty Law Center indicted over alleged use of paid informants in #extremist groups

    The #SPLC was indicted Tuesday over a discontinued program that used paid confidential informants to penetrate white supremacist & other organizations, Acting Attorney General #ToddBlanche announced.

  23. 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.”

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. He said the organization “will vigorously defend ourselves, our staff, & our work.”

    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].

  27. “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.”

    #law #Trump #DOJ #DomesticTerrorism #extremism #WhiteSupremacy #MaleSupremacy #heterosexism #racism #sexism #WhiteChristianNationalism

  28. 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.

  29. The #CivilRights group made the announcement Tuesday, saying the #Trump admin appears to be preparing legal action against it or some of its employees.
    “Although we don’t know all the details, the focus appears to be on the #SPLC’s prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely #violent groups,” CEO Bryan Fair said.

  30. #Trump is going after the people who expose #DomesticTerrorism operations.

    The Southern Poverty Law Center [#SPLC] says it’s the subject of a #criminal investigation by the “Justice” Dept & faces possible charges over its past use of paid informants to infiltrate #extremist groups.

    As Holly says, it's hard to write satire these days when "reality" itself, as offered to us by the links of Graham, is ludicrous satire of, well, reality and truth.

What he is doing is quoting the scriptures ans exposing these hustlers like Paula White and Franklin Graham and all the rest of them who have been hijacking the scriptures to pump this guy up and justify all their evil, their wickedness that they've been doing."
