Jeff Sessions just announced a Religious Liberty Task Force.

Sessions is a white supremacist who doesn't deserve our trust. We should all be concerned for the religious minorities in our communities.

The first two Native-American women to serve in Congress embrace one another. ❤️😭
So much pain and heartache in this embrace. And so much joy and beauty as well. Such a powerful moment.
Also worth noting that Sharice Davids is the first openly gay person to represent the state of Kansas in Congress. ✊🏾❤️✌🏾

Trying to fight off the dadbod. Thinking of a low-carb diet. The whole thing is new to me though. Any suggestions on low-carb snacks and foods?
Wait is this a bad idea. I’m supposed to run the @nycmarathon in about two months.

Also, I love carbs.
Wow. Thank y’all for all your inspiring stories and for all these amazing suggestions. Makes me feel like I can actually do it!

salon.com/2018/08/01/jef… Sessions announced the formation of a “religious liberty” task force. But in reality, the purpose of it is anti-liberty. He’s almost certainly trying to build case law allowing discrimination against women and LGBT people.
Sessions suggested that the SPLC doesn’t have a right to label a group a “hate group” if they claim their bigotry is a sincerely held religious belief. He needs to be asked if this covers the KKK, which has white supremacist religious beliefs.
Arguing that religious liberty permits discrimination is nothing new. In the mid-20th century, white evangelicals routinely invoked the Bible to excuse segregation and laws against interracial marriage.

The Religious Liberty Task Force exists because many white evangelicals have confused sharing the public square with oppression and encountering disagreement with persecution.
In fact, one study showed that white evangelical Christians believe they are *more* discriminated against than Muslims, Jews, LGBT people, immigrants, and black people. This is, of course, a fantasy.
This persecution complex is fueled by an entire industry of books & movies ("God Is Not Dead" franchise, etc) that cast white evangelical Christians as victims even though, in reality, they enjoy incredible privilege. (Ironically, the Industrial Persecution Complex is BIG BUCKS!)

Sessions announces 'religious liberty task force'. The DOJ has rolled back institutional support for protecting rights for LGBTQ Americans while increasing support for Christains (let's be real, the admin isnt protecting anyone's right to say allahu akbar) thehill.com/regulation/adm…
The DOJ defending Christains instead of the #LGBTQ Americans is a farce. Show me the young Christian children bullied to suicide bc of his religion, the reverend denied service, the church choir group denied housing, the Christain mother fired bc she loves Jesus. #LoveIsLove
Im done giving family & friends a pass. There is one party which believes I deserve all of the same rights, protections, dignity, and respect straight Americans are entitled too and another party which believes the bible says I am a sinner. There are no other issues. #LoveIsLove
