Remember...
🇺🇲The moment America becomes a Christian Nation, it ceases to be America🇺🇲

There is no freedom OF religion without a government that is free FROM religion.

Today, the Supreme Court will hear argument in a case that could forever divide public schools students along religious lines. Christian Nationalist groups want to create a religious public school. You read that correctly, a religious public school.

/1
This constitutional contradiction violates the religious freedom of every single parent, student, and taxpayer in Oklahoma, who would be forced to fund religious indoctrination and discrimination against students with disabilities and LGBTQ students.
/2
What about the religious freedom of the Catholic Church, which is trying to open the school?

The Catholic Church is free to open schools! It runs more than 30 in Oklahoma alone. It has that freedom. But a Catholic PUBLIC school tramples the religious freedom of all.

I'm ashamed of my fellow Americans and appalled at the power that polluted information streams have to poison the human mind with bigotry and fear.

When I write that Project 2025 is already happening in Okla., I mean that the Heritage Foundation is in bed with Ryan Walters.

Walters is also using state funds to hire Heritage folks "to project a cartoonish image of a macho Christian culture warrior." The details are alarming.
Walters had the state contract with Vought Strategies for his public relations campaign. The president of Vought Strategies is Mary Vought, who’s also VP of Strategic Communications at the Heritage Foundation, which published the Project 2025 handbook.

Mary is/was married to Russ Vought. You know him. He's the guy recently caught on tape admitting that Trump was still very much working toward a Project 2025 future. (We locked this article last week, before that video broke).

Some facts about the Ten Commandments that Louisiana really should have looked up before forcing public schools to display them in classrooms. A thread.🧵
The text of the Louisiana law actually specifies a state-sanctioned version of God's holy writ. It begins “I AM the LORD thy God. Thou shall have no other gods before me.” Image
The point of this bill is to give the false impression that America is a Christian nation. That's Christian Nationalism.

Historical flags are often adopted by modern political movements. Sometimes this is obvious, like neo-Nazis adopting the Confederate flag. Or less so, like when the Tea Party adopted the Gadsden (Don't Tread on Me) flag.

The Appeal to Heaven flag is even more under the radar. Image
This flag—which was widely flown during the insurrection—has become like a secret handshake for Christian Nationalist public officials to signal their fealty to the cause, while maintaining plausible deniability about their allegiance. That's literally the point behind the flag.
I explained this to @BradleyOnishi on the latest episode of @StraightWhiteJC. Image

So this is a huge deal. The Appeal to Heaven flag was all over the insurrection and comes out of explicitly Christian Nationalist spaces. Sam Alito is professing his Christian Nationalism.
Some really important context from the "Christian Nationalism and the January 6, 2021, Insurrection" report I helped spearhead.


They didn't just fly the flag, on January 5th, they held "An Appeal to Heaven" across from the Supreme Court. bjconline.org/jan6report/
Image
But that flag—the flag Alito flew—was all over the insurrection. And the ties to Christian Nationalism could not be more clear.
