@drvox We need to be talking about the clear authoritarianism, supremacist thinking and dangerous narratives of Evangelical Christians. slate.com/technology/201…
@drvox #TruthMatters, #FactsMatter, #ScienceMatters This is far from benign religiondispatches.org/the-religious-…
@drvox Here's what's being preached on Capitol Hill to law and policymakers by a 'ministry' sponsored by a large number top Trump cabinet/former cabinet members: #ScienceMatters #ThisIsNoJoke capmin.org/coming-to-grip…
@drvox And as much as media would like to find an explanation other than #WhiteChristianNationalism, this is not 'economic populism':
@drvox White and #ChristianNationalism are very closely intertwined patheos.com/blogs/daylight…
@drvox The freedom of Christians to discriminate is not new framing: digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewconten…
@drvox The stacking of the courts is very intentional:

@drvox And #ChristianNationalism really does explain a lot of what is happening if only media would open its eyes to it: nymag.com/daily/intellig…

Another Christian Right science-denying doctor. #MarkGreen was Trump's nominee for Army Secretary. Let that sink in.
The Christian Right have dangerous beliefs. Green was Trump's nominee for Army Secretary. This is not benign. washingtonexaminer.com/army-secretary…
cf also: #BenCarson, a member of Trump's cabinet. This is completely insane. But it is barely a story because..."Christianity"

Principle absolutely matters, but in a representative democracy, so does political REALITY. Trump w help from Parscale & #CambridgeAnalytica alum is NOT flying blind. I fear the calls to 'abolish ICE' plays right into their hands. We must be informed. newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…
Is someone collecting data for progressives or are we just going on gut feel? Eventually absolutely the young people will win, but if the courts are stacked for a generation you just made your fight SO much harder...and the win may not be in your lifetime. newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

@MichaelJShearer @BobGaetjens_RPC I realize addiction is a serious issue but I must take issue with some of the points you make in this article.
@MichaelJShearer @BobGaetjens_RPC Point #1: From the reading I've done, researchers I've spoken with, & my personal experience as a registered nurse and now intractable pain patient, 80 percent of ppl w/ addxn don't start w/ opioids rx'd for physical pain [what you're calling legitimate pain].
@MichaelJShearer @BobGaetjens_RPC According to @StefanKertesz & @AJ_Gordon, the 2012-13 NESARC survey found 53% whites / 26% non-whites started their opioid use with prescription type opioids (not necessarily prescribed). DM @StefanKertesz if you would like access to his work this paper.

Beginning around the time right after Charlottesville, the extreme right began to strategize and develop alternative web services to replace commercial platforms where they were increasingly unwelcome. It was called “Alt-Tech.”
Gab was one of the few success stories of the first wave of Alt-Tech. This first generation of alt-tech was basically racist clones of every web service you know. Gab for Twitter. Voat for Reddit. Hatreon for Patreon. Bitchute for Youtube, etc.
Most alt-tech platform clones failed spectacularly. Partly bc the far right is comprised of creeps and grifters, who couldn’t resist ripping each other off. But also bc these services take a long time to become profitable— and if you dont monopolize your niche...

Rubio has an A+ rating, & has taken $3.3 million from the NRA. He is just one of many R’s (Cruz) who are handmaidens to the gun lobby. The safety of the public is not as important as their #NRABloodMoney.

Let’s dispel gun myths the NRA constantly parrots. tampabay.com/florida-politi…
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
This is probably the most common argument heard from gun advocates. It’s true that guns can’t kill by themselves & DO indeed need someone to pull the trigger... Guns don’t kill people, but allow someone who WOULD kill much easier, faster, more lethal means for killing. #GunReform

hey y’all remember that time my college roommates/church leaders gaslighted the shit out of me for a full year and i had no where to go or escape because i would face the same thing with me family and friends and church
remember when my roommates would call “house meetings” and then spend an hour telling me what i was doing wrong as a christian and friend and person and then, when i would start to cry, tell me “we can feel the rejection you feel and you should only be feeling loved by this”
remember when they told me i was a bad friend because i began isolating myself, avoiding them as much as possible, and becoming very private about my life and feelings
