[Rep. Jared Huffman @JaredHuffman]

Sinclair Lewis is said to have predicted, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.” Democratic congressman Jared Huffman says he witnessed something eerily like that vision on January 6, 2021, and it should have been a national wake-up call to the shocking power of Christian nationalism. Instead, the country - including members of Congress who the mob wanted to kill - went back to sleep.

San Francisco! Celebrate release day with me and Bradley Onishi on August 18th at 6pm @cwclub and be the first to read NO PROPHETS!
