…he most shocking example of which was the lynching of Leo Frank in 1915 in Georgia. In the interwar years, American nativism closed the doors to immigration and led to increased anti-Semitism, including quotas at many elite universities. The Jewish Americans tells the story of Henry Ford’s Dearborn Independent, which recycled the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and generally promoted a vicious form of anti-Semitism. But Ford got his comeuppance wh…

…me.” Bannon continues to foment insurgency under the guise of fighting for freedom of speech and liberty; on December 21 he said on a podcast with Congressman Matt Gaetz that he’s raising “4000 shock troops” to take power after the 2022 election.

…itting punishment for a reckless 37-year old woman who set out to drive on Georgia Avenue. I propose that we ban driving towards a safer world for babies. Saudi Arabia has taken the pioneering step by banning women from driving. The next courageous step is to ban driving altogether.

…e citizens; and it is incompatible with a sound understanding of religious freedom (and with the spirit, if not the letter, of the Constitution’s no-religious-tests clause). That George, considered a leading intellectual framer of religious right ideas, and in particular an alliance of evangelicals and Catholics around his framing of reproductive and LGBT rights as inimical to opponents’ “religious liberty” (as enunciated in the Manhattan Declarat…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…socially acceptable. It really is as simple as deciding who is in charge of defining social values: God or the humanists. In McDurman’s Christian Reconstructionist world, we’d all be living under Old Testament law, whether we believed in his god or not.

…m and set them up as evidence of our “blessings” from God. In reality, our freedom is not found in the social order, but in the acknowledgement that God is not on our side, or on anyone’s side.

God blesses us—be we nation or individual—when we realize we ar…

By Peter Laarman

…their meager belongings and head off to stay with friends in remote North Georgia in hopes that something better might turn up. There are millions of families like the Hartzells out there—the Joads of this ruthless new economy—but there is no evidence at all that anyone in the political class is prepared to give them a seat at the budget negotiation table. In order to torture people, in order to cause them certain pain, you must first obliterate…

A Sliver of White Evangelicals Abandoning Trump, But That May Be Enough

By Daniel Schultz

…cause serious headaches for his campaign in places like North Carolina or Georgia. But there are bigger threats to his reelection. For one thing, you may have noticed that Trump’s 66% favorability rating among white evangelicals is quite a bit lower than the 80% who voted for him in 2016. The explanation is obvious: a fair number of white evangelicals don’t really like Trump, but they vote for him anyway. If the president’s ratings on coronavirus…
