SCOTUS ‘Right to Work’ Decision Especially Damaging to Women and People of Color

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…ent the Trump-era Supreme Court as the mortal enemy of human rights, civil rights and worker rights. In a sweeping blow to humanistic values, the Court upheld the Trump administration’s travel ban policy targeting mostly Muslim countries and diminished public employee unions’ ability to collect dues to support collective bargaining. By upholding the travel ban, the Supreme Court has put a lasting legal imprimatur on Trump’s xenophobic/Islamophobic…

Harry Jackson Shakes Religious Right Money Tree for “Below the Radar” Anti-Obama Campaign

By Peter Montgomery

…ush back in office, and they can again shift power in America and “put the right man in the presidency.” Jackson slammed Obama for his administration’s decision to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act. “What the president really has done is an impeachable offense, let’s start there, ok?” He warned that if Obama is able to put new justices on the Supreme Court, gay marriage could be the law of the land. And he repeated religious right claims…

As the Right Peddles a Conspiracy About Trans People and Easter, A Reflection on the Spiritual Nature of My Gender Transition

By Ryann Croken

…trip trans people of legal recognition, of life-saving health care, of the right to be out as a teacher (and not to be outed as a student), of the right, generally, to exist within and be safe in society. It’s an institutional attempt to enact what Daily Wire contributor Michael Knowles called for at last year’s CPAC: “The eradication of transgenderism (sic) from the public sphere.” As his own attempt at a work-around from the genocidal ring of th…

Santorum from the Religion Angle

By Sarah Posner

…Constitution of religious liberty but now the courts have created a super-right that’s above a right that’s actually in the Constitution, and that’s of sexual liberty. And I think that’s a wrong, that’s a destructive element.” This statement, of course, is wrong as a matter of fact, and reflects a bizarre misinterpretation of constitutional law. The rights protected by the First Amendment (including the right to free exercise of religion) are not…

Beinart’s Indictment And The Evangelical Right

By Sarah Posner

…ess to admire. I would add that this attack on democratic values and human rights is aided and abetted by Israel’s (and the American Jewish establishment’s) strong ties with the American evangelical right (which isn’t exactly supportive of democratic values here at home). I have long reported on the close ties between these organizations and the apocalyptic wing of the American evangelical world — and the American Jewish establishment bears blame…

By Peter Montgomery

…sounded a lot like prayers given at American events sponsored by religious right organizations and groups affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation: We want to dedicate this nation to you so that you will be our God and guide. We want Uganda to be known as a nation that fears God and as a nation whose foundations are firmly rooted in righteousness and justice to fulfill what the Bible says in Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation, whose God is th…

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Genocide Rhetoric Creates a Permission Structure for the Right — But Permission to do What?

By Annika Brockschmidt

…e key question, analytically as well as politically, when dealing with the Right. And an honest assessment should leave little doubt that democracy and the rule of law are currently in an acutely perilous situation.” Statements like Greene’s are all about creating a permission structure for the Right, about deploying violence—genocidal violence, even—against their political opponents or anybody else whose existence endangers what they see as the G…

The Battle for the Bible Against Christian Nationalism Seeks to Continue Historic Campaign

By Frederick Clarkson

…red two of the leading authors in the study of the religious and political Right. It’s unusual, perhaps historic, that campaign like this one has so publicly centered an understanding of the Christian Right as part of its efforts. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove of the Poor People’s Campaign and author of Revolution of Values: Reclaiming Public Faith for the Common Good, led the conversation with investigative journalists Anne Nelson and Katherine Stewa…

Trump Smashing Religious Right Formula to Bits

By Sarah Posner

…utive vice president of the Family Research Council, the leading religious right political organization. Just last week, Jerry Falwell, Jr., the president of the evangelical Liberty University, told students at the school’s convocation they should carry guns because “I’ve always thought that if more good people had concealed-carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in.” For the evangelicals who are (rightfully) horrified b…

Turn On The News: The Times Has to Make a Choice: It Can’t Laugh at Satanic Claims and Take the Christian Right at Face Value

By Daniel Schultz

…he ways it reveals a double standard on press coverage of the US Christian right. It’s one of those pieces that seems more perplexing the longer you look at it. There isn’t really enough about von Hausswolf herself to be a personal profile. Even though the piece ran in the Times’ music section, there isn’t enough about her art for it to be a proper musical profile. And though there’s some context given to the protestors, the larger story about rea…
