What Salman Rushdie’s Attacker Shares with Insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…isk martyrdom for what she believed was a righteous war. These are tragic illusions. They are double tragedies, in fact: for the victims are both the targets and the perpetrators of the attacks. Yet their assaults are not the actions of lone wolves. In their moments of glory they imagine themselves to be cheered on by thousands of sympathizers who, like them, believe they’re living in an age of cosmic wars. But the costs of their illusions are mas…

Arguments That Caste Protections ‘Unjustly Target’ South Asians Don’t Stand Up to Scrutiny

By Pranay Somayajula and Nikhil Mandalaparthy

…iminate] against Hindu students and faculty … as presumed perpetrators.” In 2021, when a similar resolution was being considered by the Santa Clara County Human Rights Commission, Shukla warned in her testimony that the proposal would “uniquely target South Asians, Indians, and Hindus for ethno-religious profiling, monitoring, and policing.” Time and time again, the Hindu right has issued these same warnings about the discriminatory menace of cast…

‘Do They Even Read the Bible?’ — Why Exposing White Evangelical Hypocrisy is a Dead End

By Cavan Concannon

…e, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ misquotation of Ephesians 6:11 in a speech in June of 2021, in which he urged, “You got to put on the full armor of God. You got to take a stand—take a stand against the left’s schemes.” The actual verse in Ephesians reads: “Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (NRSV). DeSantis changed the biblical text in his allusion, equating the US Left with the devil. Few evange…

AR-15 Lapel Pins are More Than Political Provocation — They’re Symbols of the Violence at the Heart of White Christian Nationalism

By Annika Brockschmidt

…gun enthusiasts, which is not surprising, considering that many see themselves as God’s warriors fighting against the White supremacist “Great Replacement” myth—a myth that has led to calls for a new crusade and for mass shooters to style themselves as modern Knights Templar. There’s no shortage of Crusades-inspired gear available online—from rifles with Bible verses to rosaries made out of bullets. (After spending some time on the website that o…

DeSantis is More Polished and Less Bombastic Than Trump — But is He Less of a Threat to Democracy?

By Annika Brockschmidt

…is often completely untethered from reality. Friedersdorf wrote in October 2021: “(DeSantis) remains a plausibly acceptable candidate for anti-Trump conservatives, in part because winning narrowly in a purple state has all but forced him to moderate his populism.” I’m not sure in which world DeSantis threatening companies with state sanctions, should they take a stand against his discriminatory policies, passing anti-LGBTQ legislation and policin…

As Tensions Escalate in the Balkans, the West Could Hand Putin a Valuable Weapon

By Katherine Kelaidis

…polling suggests that only a little more than 1 in 5 Serbs describe themselves as supporters of Putin’s Russia in foreign policy, while half support continuing the Yugoslav-era policy of non-alignment. It’s not support for Russia or Putin which motivates the anti-Western attitude among young Serbs today, but rather a feeling that Serbia was wronged by the West during the Yugoslav War and Kosovo Wars in the 1990s—a wrong that many see as emerging…

When Violence is Inevitable: Club Q and the Success of the System

By Heron Greenesmith

…Both frameworks allow people in power to direct attention away from themselves and the systems they’re building. Climate change and systemic oppression are structural. They require structural solutions. So when exactly should Congress have restricted ownership of assault rifles? Perhaps when the assault rifle ban expired? After Columbine? Sandy Hook? Parkland? Las Vegas? Maybe after a man with a long gun killed 49 people in a queer club in Orland…

Broken Courts, Big Lies and Genocide Rehearsal: A Review of 2022—And What We Can Expect From 2023

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ate in a repeat of the Georgia run-off. Some small cracks in the GOP’s resolve regarding the Big Lie have become noticeable: prominent figures on the Right, like Charlie Kirk and Laura Ingraham, used the midterm defeat to criticize the focus on alleged voter fraud and demonization of early voting—which they themselves helped facilitate. Those who predict the end of Republican cries of voter fraud, however, are quite likely wrong: The GOP’s myth-ma…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

By Peter Schwartz

…aid as much when he half-facetiously wrote the following, in response to my 2021 New Republic article on originalism and natural law: [Schwartz] singles out First Things (“the most intellectually serious and influential journal of the religious right”) as particularly nefarious, leading the way toward (this will shock readers) a politics informed by natural law. I’m happy to endorse his warnings to those on the left. Despite this frank acknowledge…

The ‘Dreher Affair’ Highlights the Right’s International Networks

By Annika Brockschmidt

…re a powerful force, even if they rarely make the headlines. According to a 2021 report from the European Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF), their pockets are deep. From 2009 until 2018, $702.2 million was spent on “anti-gender” mobilization, $81.3 million from the US alone to combat abortion rights. These networks are complicated by design, as Anne Nelson, the author of Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical…
