I love how he use the word, the one she claims to know in his argument! Sadly they still won’t get it. Y’all think we judging you but it’s by the measure you are judging is what’s happening! And she claim to want to help the students but didn’t want to ask the parents for permission to do it. Where do these women get the audacity? You can’t control our kids!!

Started listening to the new Telling Jefferson Lies podcast about David Barton's highly embellished Christian nationalist historical accounts by @wthrockmorton, & it's excellent so far. Highly recommended.

Today is #NationalReligiousFreedomDay.

Remember that religious freedom means freedom OF religion and freedom FROM religion (even if Christian nationalists seem to forget the "from" part).

Writing for @truthout, Nicholas Powers explores how Dr. King's life provides us with a blueprint for taking on Christian nationalism.

"What worked for him then can work for us today," he says.

"We often forget that kind of Star Trek side of religion, which is community-building and allowing humanity to progress through time, mature, and grow."

"Our religion"? Who will be refused entry into the US? Mr. Trump is Protestant. Does this mean Catholics will be refused? He's also Christian. Will Jews be refused? What he is espousing is not patriotism but fascism. And we should take him at his word.
