Hegseth's new Office of Religious Affairs was announced with some clear dog whistles for Christian Nationalists. He's telling them what this office is all about.

Christian Nationalists are religious extremists. Not all religious extremists are Christian Nationalists. But in America, Christian Nationalism is the single greatest threat to a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Rage is not only appropriate, but necessary. Men, we are cowards, not protectors. Stop pretending and preaching otherwise. This Cornell thing is so gross, from top to bottom. So many men at every level, and all of them cowards. Complicit.

This is truly shocking and every American ought to be terrified and appalled. Johnson sent the House home to avoid a vote on Hegseth's impeachment. This is exactly why he needs to go.

"God gave everyone a free will," until women want bodily autonomy or freedom, and then, suddenly, God is just the patriarchy.

Christian nationalist propaganda is fueled by misinformation like the quote in this video - AU’s @andrewlseidel.bsky.social explains (with receipts✨) The US was not founded as Christian nation, that’s why we’re taking this fight to the Supreme Court ⚖️

I just learned that when John Belushi died in 1982, he was set to star in an adaptation of CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES alongside Richard Pryor, with Harold Ramis directing. Damn.

Big piece from me today about how Mississippi poisoned Black people's water and lied about it, and originalist judges aren't convinced that's a constitutional problem ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Fifth Circuit: Unfortunately, Originalism Means the Government Is Allowed to Poison Your Drinking Water

By defining constitutional rights as narrowly as possible, conservative judges make it easy to conclude that those rights do not exist.

Oreogate is a perfect metaphor for how Christian Nationalists want religious freedom to operate: they think that simply because they believe something, everybody else in the world should have to follow their rules too. But that's not how freedom works.

I'm an atheist. Everyday, I work alongside Christians and other believers to fight Christian Nationalism and defend the separation of church and state. Why? Because shared values matter more than shared beliefs.

The Ten Commandments don't belong in public schools. Politicians should not be dividing kids along religious lines. Politicians should not be rewriting the bible. Politicians should not be abusing power to impose their religion on others. Ever.

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

This is the right read. These justices are not jurists or textualists or faithful to the Constitution. They are activists and racists and part of a captured court. The Supreme Court is a vote away from catastrophe in the birthright citizenship case | Vox share.google/2htICPFfxMKQQZY8r

The Supreme Court just came one vote away from a constitutional catastrophe

The 5-4 vote in the birthright citizenship case is a warning that all of US law is in terrible danger.
