UPDATED: Right-sizing the Threat of Political Violence in the 2024 Election — And After

By Steven Gardiner

…means necessary. Moreover, the attempted coup at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, is not so distant that it’s hard to imagine what that could look like. But we should not expect 2024 to be a simple replay of 2020. The flurry of right-wing and far-right mobilizing we saw in 2020, much of it through mainstream social media platforms by Stop the Steal, has thus far not materialized in 2024. Rather than building toward mass protests with potential adj…

With the End of ‘Roe’ the Verdict is in: The Supreme Court Majority is Christian Nationalist

By Andrew L. Seidel

…edure and long standing judicial principle, the court jumped in on April 9, 2021 with a midnight ruling. Just six days (five, really, given how late the decision dropped) before the rule change, the court rushed to decide a case it didn’t need to decide. The five crusading justices (and yes, I use the word “crusading” intentionally) rewrote the First Amendment using the shadow docket and an opinion that was only nine paragraphs long. Steven Vladec…

This is No Ordinary Anti-Blackness — The Racist History of the Pet-Eating Conspiracy

By Kyrah Malika Daniels and Dianne M. Stewart

…anti-Haitian rumors remember this history before they throw their next pile of Christian stones at Haitians immigrants. *The storming of the capitol on Jan 6, 2021 has indeed been labeled a coup attempt by experts, but it was ultimately unsuccessful….

Into the Darkest Moment of a Dark Year Comes the Saturnalia, a Time for Drinking, Swearing, Gambling, and the Circle of Life

By Farah Abdessamad

…rsals, free speech, and libationary merriment of Dionysian proportions involving drinking, swearing and gambling, with banquets and food sacrificed to deities. It even marked a truce period; no wars could be declared during the Saturnalia (but occasional murders occurred taking advantage of the distractions). On 19 December, gifts would be exchanged. Green garlands would decorate homes. People nominated a “King of the Saturnalia” (though please ex…

The Right Wing Slant on Religious Freedom is a Slippery Slope

By Frederick Clarkson

…Virginia. The most recent available Project Blitz manual (exposed by RD in 2021) adds Kansas and Oklahoma to the list of states that have adopted similar legislation. The title of the Project Blitz model bill has since been changed to the “Child Welfare Maximization Act,” perhaps in an effort to underscore that adoptive and foster care children are in need of maximum protection from LGBTQ people, Catholics, and Jews. One of the political “talking…

Whose House? Their House: Just Who Was Held Accountable for the 1/6 Insurrection is Telling

By Susannah Crockford

…. Terrorism crimes are a category of charges rather than the charges themselves—those found to have political motives—and they can result in longer sentences and being held without bail as Nordean and Pezzola are. They could face ten years in prison if the judge determines the property damage was politically motivated. Worryingly, 62 members of the military and at least fifteen law enforcement officers have been charged so far. The Oath Keeper mil…

The End of Roe Comes Courtesy of the Catholic Church — But From ‘The Dorothy Day Abortion Fund’ to ‘St. Vincent de Paul Vasectomy Clinic,’ Here Are Some Ideas for Catholics Looking to Make a Difference

By Mary E. Hunt

…iews and their individual votes, but they do not speak for more than themselves. It’s time for Catholics who’ve been on the sidelines on reproductive justice to step forward. I know from experience that this is a significant ask. Catholics who support abortion rights have paid a steep price since the New York Times ad, “A Catholics Statement on Pluralism and Diversity,” published in October, 1984 in response to Cardinal John O’Connor’s denunciatio…

Image of Mitt Romney at a podium looking down with blurred sign in background that reads "Conservatives"

Mitt Romney, the Public Face of Mormonism, Reckons with His Alienation From a Radicalized GOP and His Role in Enabling it

By Benjamin E. Park

…y highlighted the salacious details in this riveting tale of how Romney evolved from the GOP’s “standard-bearer” to “party pariah,” and what that decline says about the fate of American conservatism. But given Romney’s significant place in the broader story of American religious history—he was the nation’s first Mormon to be nominated for president by one of the two major parties—it’s also an important text for the nation’s story of religion. Romn…

The Problem With An Evangelical Petition Calling White Nationalism ‘Heresy’

By Daniel Schultz

…h fruit in such numbers. That some evangelicals now wish to separate themselves from what their faith tradition has devolved into is well and good, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves about the ways that same tradition fostered the very problems to which critics now object. Second, properly speaking the problem isn’t heresy, it’s idolatry. Heresy has to do with ideas contrary to the received truth of the faith—and indeed, the people calling for a chall…

Please Stop Using Islam to Critique the Abortion Ban: It Only Excuses the Very Christian, Very White Roots of Anti-Choice Movements

By Sajida Jalalzai

…but also encourages citizens to bring private lawsuits against anyone involved in “knowingly engag[ing] in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion,” awarding plaintiffs at least $10,000 (to be paid by the abortion provider or person assisting abortion patients) if successful in their suit. This financial incentivization of litigation—offering literal bounties to those plaintiffs who win in court—almost certainly gu…
