Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons sounds the alarm about the theocratic aspirations of the well-funded right-wing Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025. The Project is a blueprint for right-wing Christian takeover of the government, and Graves-Fitzsimmons says that its theocratic agenda is getting insufficient media attention.

These folks claim to own "the" bible, and they want to impose their version of it on all of us.

The unique human misery that is uniquely possible in a #theocracy. The US helped to establish this one, at least indirectly, and I truly worry about theocratic forces here, too. It could absolutely happen here. Some might argue, in fact, that with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, legislative movements against LGBTQ+ rights, and the stated intentions of some conservatives to go after birth control next, it has already begun. #Iran #newyorker #longread

I am aghast.

Via the Religious Exemption Accountability Project:
"The U.S. Department of Education just granted Baylor University a Title IX exemption for sexual harassment.

This is the first time that a university has requested a religious exemption to permit sexual harassment and the first time the DoED has granted such a request."

This is what the Taliban and Boko Haram would say, except this is a screed of a "Christian" nationalist.

"many evangelical pastors have become alarmed that their Trump-loving congregants have become so militant that they are even rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ."

This is what the #Christofascists want; this is the #Theocracy they despise when the religion is Islam, but want to embrace when it's their authoritarian version of Christianity.

"Literally preaching to the choir served them poorly when it came to properly understanding the state of American popular opinion. And by arguing for over 50 years that abortion is 'murder,' Republican politicians have zero room to try and sell a 'compromise' that might soften voter anger. If abortion is murder at 38 weeks, it’s murder at 16 weeks, and it’s murder at one week."

"By actually delivering what Republican politicians had long promised their voters, the Supreme Court ensured Republican electoral losses in the 2022 midterm elections, and the repercussions continue.

It must’ve been quite the shock to the theocrats in states like Kansas, Kentucky, and Montana to so handily lose the abortion issue at the ballot box."

@todayilearned Theocracy is unhealthy for religion. Those who wish to use political power to privilege their religion would be wise to realise that.

HYPERCAPITALISM’S MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS

These Christian Nationalists Want to Stone Adulterers to Death

Aspiring theocrats want to install Old Testament justice in America: “Society itself has to be the one to purge the evil”.

This is the civil protection Minister of Greece.
This morning, while the locals in various places of the country try to protect their homes and animals from the raging fires, he is tweeting that he met with priests in order to confirm that the Greek Citizens and the Greek Orthodox faith are safe from the new IDs.

This spitting in the face is the official policy of the far right Greek government.

If you live in a place where women's bodily autonomy is restricted or likely to be restricted soon, do not discuss having an abortion with anyone via FB Messenger or any other online means. It will be turned against you. This is horrific. Teenager gets 90 days in prison and 2 years probation, and her mother faces 5 years in prison.

I have two former bosses whose lives are in limbo because of Tuberville's attack on #DOD in the serrvice of #theocracy and patriarchal control of women and girls. This stunt will lose people associated with the #military, EVEN IF they voted Republican and put him in the seat.
