Shocked — just shocked! (not) — to learn that the praying coach Supreme Court case was a big phony, as was Florida coach Joe Kennedy with his claim that his religious freedom was being trampled on as he sought just to pray privately at football games. Since, as we all know, God loves nothing more than a good football game and a praying coach and football team….

"Part of the right’s bewilderment stems from the reality that abortion was such an electoral carrot for the party for so long. Then-candidate Donald Trump made it a huge part of his presidential appeal: Vote for me, and I’ll stack the Supreme Court with justices who’ll overturn Roe."

This was an important one for me. About a dream that changed my life. I've been this off for ages wanting to get it just right, but I need to get it out of my system. Crazy how I only just discovered Ginsberg's poem Moloch.

Midge Decter was inspired by a distinctly #conservative, midcentury American reading of #Freudian #psychology, mobilized in defense of traditional family hierarchies, which made her an important link between #neoconservatives and the #ReligiousRight.

The #religiousright, the #moralmajority, #evangelicals, and white #Christiannationalists have, throughout the #history of the #UnitedStates, used #religion to further #personalgreed, absolve themselves of guilt for #heinouscrimes, and force their #morals and world view on an entire population. Let's break down all the ways the #Religious #Right has ruined everything, and how white #Christian #nationalism poses an existential threat to our #democracy.

“The Supreme Court doesn’t stand alone. Powerful social and political movements swirl around it, carefully cultivating cases and serving them up to justices who themselves were propelled to their positions of great power by those movements. The Supreme Court now is this country’s ultimate political prize.”

But it’s actually in line w/an increasingly successful effort by the #ReligiousRight & its enablers on the #SupremeCourt to dismantle what Thomas Jefferson described as the “wall of separation between Church & State.”

I’ve been astonished by #DeSantis’ willingness to go to battle against the Magic Kingdom. I have to remind myself that #Disney has been in the crosshairs of the #ReligiousRight for decades and so this seems to be the intersection of the #MoralMajority and #Trumpism
