…reality that can maintain equal rights for two peoples. Omri Boehm’s Haifa Republic puts forth an interesting theory of shared sovereignty and dual autonomy whereby Jews would sacrifice part of their sovereignty to enable Palestinians to have true political autonomy in one state. Other theories of a Jewish-Arab confederation exist as well. Liberal Zionists have often mostly dismissed such ideas as “fantasy.” But one of Hartman’s contributions here…

Whatever Happens with ‘Roe’ It’ll Be The Consequence of Six Conservative Justices’ Belief in Authoritarian Lies

…cially to themselves, to cover for its real purpose—restoring the American republic to a purer, more Eden-like, state of Christian feudalism. Abortion is about far more than a woman’s right to choice or an embryo’s right to life, or whatever framing that’s convenient at a given political moment. As with much else after the election of America’s first Black president, the political movement against abortion is really a political movement against a…

North America Has a Hindu Nationalist Problem, and Scholars are On the Frontlines of These Right-Wing Attacks

…ect we call the Hindutva Harassment Field Manual. The assaults on academic freedom that we document are orchestrated by far right groups and individuals who promote the political ideology of Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism.

…it the power of the federal government and increase the scope of religious freedom, particularly with respect to governmental interference with religious education. The joint ideological ascendancy of biblical literalism and constitutional originalism remains with us to the present.

Darrell Issa’s Show Trial
on Alleged Obama Administration “Anti-Catholic Bias”

…going away anytime soon, though. It’s a perfect crucible for interrelated Republican cause celebres that all serve as election season fodder: that the Obama administration “promotes abortion;” that contraceptives are like a gateway drug for abortion; and that the Obama administration is depriving the Catholic Bishops of their religious liberty. But the Democrats could easily turn this around on the Republicans. Should rape victims be forced to ca…

A Christian Nationalist by Any Other Name… Is Still a Christian Nationalist

…to the Pledge of Allegiance as president, and in 1955 was declared (by the Republican National Committee) “not only the political leader, but the spiritual leader of our times.” Now there was a real white Christian nationalist. By using the example of Eisenhower, Woodward is extending his argument. You can see him shrugging innocently before muttering: “If Eisenhower was a Christian nationalist, well then color me one too, am I right boys?” Here’s…

The Death of a Black Man at the Hands of Black Officers Unveiled Something More Complex Than Whiteness

As we have seen from the recent Republican presidential candidate debates, if we actually let the people vote on what rights and privileges other citizens would enjoy, the people might implement a mandatory death penalty (possibly even for lessler infrac…

From Christian Temperance to D.A.R.E. — The War on Drugs Has its Roots in White Christian Nationalism

…g the 1912 “Men and Religion Forward” movement—a national revival aimed at promoting the kingdom—Hobson shared the stage of the Brooklyn Tabernacle with Booker T. Washington and claimed that African Americans would degenerate into cannibals if they were permitted to drink alcohol. Christians, he felt, needed to lead the world toward sobriety through law, through example, and through education. Hobson’s take on drugs was quite similar. After Prohib…
