By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…pended recently due to their online conduct. The account, according to the Washington Post, has even had an influence on legislation. According to Media Matters for America, Ron DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw has interacted with “Libs of TikTok” at least 138 times since June of 2021, often sharing information, language and praise regarding Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, with Pushaw commenting that “Libs of Tiktok has opened my eyes on…

Alienating Even the Sadistic Trumpian Right, How Did Kristi Noem Miscalculate So Badly With Her Puppy Killing Story?

By Annika Brockschmidt

…America.” And she’s decided to create a sharp contrast with the soft, weak Washington “elites” who can’t make harsh choices (like killing your 14-month-old puppy). But Noem seems to have miscalculated the love people have for their dogs (or any dog, really), and most importantly, she seems to have forgotten what Amanda Marcotte calls “the first rule of fascist Fight Club,” which is, of course, that “you never show your true face to outsiders.” The…

Trump’s ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ is No Joke

By Cavan Concannon

…st Greenwood’s endorsement, but the publisher canceled the project after a number of its Christian authors protested. The latest iteration of the GBUSA still includes Greenwood’s endorsement, but in addition it now has the dubious honor of being “the only Bible endorsed by President Trump!” While neither the former president nor any of his various corporate entities actually produced the GBUSA, his endorsement seems to have come with a price. His…

Will Huckabee’s Ovens Comment Be the End of His Candidacy?

By Sarah Posner

…idd thinks Huckabee has gone too far even for evangelicals. Writing in the Washington Post, Kidd says Huckabee had already “jumped the shark” with other antics but that his ovens comment will doom his candidacy. “Everyone in politics knows that if you have to play the Nazi card, you’re getting desperate,” Kidd observes. Sadly, though, we may never know what will ultimately crush Huckabee’s presidential ambitions. He ran in 2008 as the aw-shucks, I…

Step Right Up And Get Your Low-Priced ‘Pro-God Content’! Donald Trump Enters the Bible Business

By Karen E. Park

…June 1, 2020, Federal officers violently cleared peaceful protestors from Washington DC’s Lafayette Square in order to make way for Trump to stand in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church and hold a Bible.* He had just given a speech at the Rose Garden, vowing to use military force to quell national protests over police brutality and the recent murder of George Floyd. As soon as he finished, he walked across the street with Attorney General Barr a…

Fellow Mainline Christians: Are We Completely Useless?

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…we ask how we can help, we do what we’re asked, and if there are any microphones, we pass them along to someone else who experiences racism directly. But this is a story that might actually call for a white-person rant. I’m not sure. All I know is that when I read it, I said, “Oh, I recognize this. These are my people. These are my people at our very worst.” I am speaking of this study in which sociologists sent emails to more than 3,000 churches…

Will This Relic Change Our Whole View of Early American History?

By Ed Simon

…bshell,” while James Horn, the director of Jamestown Rediscovery, told the Washington Post that, “It’s the most remarkable archaeology discovery of recent years…. It’s a huge deal.” Describing the box as a “sacred object of great significance,” Horn believes that it’s clear evidence of Archer’s crypto-Catholic allegiances in Protestant England’s first American colony. The Post conjectures that Archer may have been the leader of a secret Catholic c…

In Speech to White Evangelical Broadcasters, Trump Lays Out his White Christian Nationalist Vision

By Robert P. Jones

…t they cannot stand is that in the end, we do not answer to bureaucrats in Washington. We answer to God in heaven. We do, we answer to God in heaven. So today, I come before you as a friend, an ally, and a fellow believer to ask for your help and your support and your prayers for this country. We need your prayers. Most importantly. And I make you a simple promise. In my first term, I fought for Christians harder than any President has ever done b…

The Blame for Ferguson: A Response

By Stephanie Gaskill

…utors assign blame to defendants. Alexander writes of the disproportionate number of incarcerated black and brown youth: “A major reason for these disparities is unconscious and conscious racial biases infecting decision making. In the state of Washington, for example, a review of juvenile sentencing reports found that prosecutors routinely described black and white offenders differently. Blacks committed crimes because of internal personality fla…
