The Family Research Council is abhorrent. It’s President, Tony Perkins, is also president of the Council for National Policy (to which Bannon, KA, the Mercer’s & Wayne LaLierre of the NRA belong). FRC is attacking @splcenter, which exposed both groups for what they are. 1/
2/ The Council for National Policy (CNP), a secretive networking group for the Religious Right & billionaires, has ties to:

* The NRA
* Russia
* Voting machine vendor ES&S,
* Cambridge Analytica
* Massive recent voter data leaks

It has a 2020 deadline... link.medium.com/u2TotqLDjZ
Like the Family Research Council, the Council for National Policy is virulently anti-LGBTQ, and Trump does their bidding. 3/ link.medium.com/zxMT7X4DjZ

“‘The more you can make your organization invisible, the more influence it will have,’ [Religious Right leader] Coe says in old video footage that appears in the Netflix series [about #TheFamily].”

The Religious Right is America’s Taliban. 1/ esquire.com/entertainment/…

"Internally, it is spoken of primarily as a 'recruiting device' with which to draw 'key men' into smaller prayer cells to 'meet Jesus man to man.'

Practically, the Prayer Breakfast has functioned from the very beginning as an unregistered lobbying festival."
⬇
"The Prayer Breakfast isn't the only way the Fellowship has infiltrated the highest levels of the U.S. government."
⬇
"It’s so different than our popular impression of the Christian right, it's different than the image of the sweaty pulpit pounders... Those are mass movements, this is the opposite of that."

For once in a long time, the USA has the moral high ground above Canada, Europe, Israel, Australia, and the UK. They dared go after an untouchable, meanwhile, #Epstein's clients sit in your countries safe from extradition or investigation. #OpDeathEaters
#Epstein child trafficking case is one node of an international network of child traffickers of which many prominent individuals in politics, media, royalty from AROUND THE WORLD partook in. The US cannot investigate nor stop this alone. #OpDeathEaters
If you are outside of the United States watching the #Epstein child trafficking case unfold, search this list of his collaborators and clients for familiar names. Call for inquiries and criminal investigations in your countries as well. #OpDeathEaters

I finally forced myself to watch @ava’s #13th on @netflix. I know I am massively tardy to the party, but racial documentaries are hard for me. It was, of course, devastating, so I’m glad I’m grading at home today so I can process, seethe, mourn & completely avoid wypipo.
My first reaction was “Fuck, this [the systemic oppression of black people & destruction of black lives] is never going to end. Not until we upend every last piece of the existing systems.” Then I sat overwhelmed & crying bc the earth/humanity may not last long enough for that.
And let’s be clear, I read The New Jim Crow years ago (which is why I felt like I didn’t *need* to watch 13th), but watching the documentary tie these legacies to images/audio of #NotMyPresident brought it home in a new way emotionally for me rather than just intellectually.
