DeSantis is a No-Show, the Right’s ‘Secret Sauce,’ and Final Thoughts on Pray Vote Stand

By PRA Staff

…ud is a myth. But the data doesn’t deter Snead or his copanelist Hans von Spakovsky from parroting mainstream anti-franchisement myths. To Von Spakovsky, inaccurate voter rolls are an opportunity for fraud. Snead claims the myth of voter suppression is a method the Left uses to “avoid conversations about how to reform and improve the election system.” Conversations on the Left about voter suppression are actually making people reluctant to vote, a…

Pornography’s Dirty Little Secret: What We Say vs. What We Do

By Shira Tarrant

…gh rates of conservatism and the volume of US Internet porn searches. This paradox may result from preoccupation with sexual content, presumably because of the taboo. It may also be the case that high rates of online sexual activity come from liberals who live in these sexually restrictive right-leaning states. In any case, the rhetoric and reality gaps when it comes to religion and porn use easily confuses the issues and leaves people at odds in…

I Volunteer to Root Out Christian Extremism

By Peter Laarman

…rtheless put the number at roughly 338,000. I am willing to work with this number until a better one comes along. Of this number, roughly 8,000 congregations claim upwards of 1,000 members; most are smaller, indeed most are much smaller. My concept is this: I think we can create a Christian Honor Corps (CHC) of perhaps 10,000 persons. Persons like myself who take our responsibility to monitor Christian extremist thought seriously and who are willi…

Insert Provocative Title Here: The New Media Landscape

By Onnesha Roychoudhuri

…st only, in most cases, at the mercy of advertising revenues. So while the number of voices has increased, the number of well-funded reporters has decreased. It’s reassuring to think that as print news takes a hit, online media will be there to fill the gap, but the story isn’t quite that simple. Content is certainly being generated, but it’s proving no easy replacement for print. Many publications weren’t initially eager to embrace the online wor…

Does Multiverse Theory Bring Theology Into Science?

By Andrew Aghapour

…CE, the multiverse is a way to sidestep theology: if there are an infinite number of universes that take on all possible parameters throughout eternity, then we don’t have to appeal to a god to explain the bounty or harmony of the world around us. Given an infinite number of universes, a few of them are bound to be life-friendly at some point, and we’re in one of them. The problem, of course, is that the price of getting rid of God is an infinite…

…e popular “It Gets Worse” viral video for Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” campaign. Fox optioned his pilot “Yearbook” as part of their Diversity program, his pilot, “rare” (about a family of cannibals who immigrates to America) was brought to HBO by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Emily Ziff’s Cooperstown Productions as part of their first-look deal, and recently his pilot “As Seen on TV” was honored with a reading at the Rose D’Or Festival in Lucerne, S…

The Silly Calls for Congress to Investigate Planned Parenthood

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…nclear, and said that Medicaid should be reimbursed for birth control pill packs “at cost.” Planned Parenthood negotiated with drug companies for really low prices on the pills, thus keeping costs down; but then billed Medicaid for what they paid for the pills as well as what it cost to store and dispense them. Suddenly Planned Parenthood’s billing seems a lot more reasonable, right? So reasonable, in fact, that Planned Parenthood of California wa…

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

By Annika Brockschmidt

…t. With a Republican-led House looming over the January 6th committee, the panel has published an 845-page-long report, summing up their investigations. The report serves as the foundation for their criminal referral of Trump to the Department of Justice, accusing him of conspiracy to defraud the government, inciting an insurrection and obstructing an official proceeding. As law scholar Aziz Huq from the University of Chicago writes: “In the end,…

I Met God, She’s Black: An Exhibit Makes the Black Female Body a Temple

By Anita Little

…r essential selves and that will transform us from inside out. Beyoncé can participate, but I don’t think she’s the primary tool to do that. You said that you see this not only as an exhibit but as a movement-building platform. Now that the exhibit is nearing the end of its run, in what ways do you hope it will continue to inspire? The best way to answer that question is to go to what people have said to me—and that is they feel the need to create…

By the Way: Religious Right Losing its Grip?

By Randall Balmer

…o Obama’s pro-choice position on abortion and to his recent directive to expand the parameters of stem-cell research. John M. D’Arcy, the Roman Catholic bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, declared his intention to stay away from the commencement proceedings, and the Cardinal Newman Society, based in Manassas, Virginia, has collected petitions asking that the president of Notre Dame rescind the invitation to Obama. Such protests from hard-ri…
