Why can’t we find a happy medium between playing dead (@theDemocrats) and insurrection (@GOP)? This is from a piece I am writing about the 2020 election. 1/

4/ Florida House 26
5/ Florida House 27
6/ North Carolina senate
7/ Montana senate
8/ Maine senate.
9/ Note. Here is a summary of KY & SC senate races: Although heavily red shifted, exit polls predicted strong GOP victories. If internal polling also predicted this, it explains why the Ds didn’t challenge these two outcomes.

13/ To clarify, I’m not saying “both sides” do the same thing; I’m saying they do the opposite thing. Nor am I saying they are equally bad. The #GOP engages in domestic terrorism; my party, the Democratic Party, at least aspires to the greater good. I want them to do more…
… to protect the greater good. IMO, this requires more scrutiny of the GOP than they currently provide. 14/
Democrats should heed this advice. 15/
The GOP should heed this advice. 16/

😳The express goals of the explicitly dominionist “City Elders” group include establishing a governmental office in Oklahoma by 2026 & a “City Elders Council” in all 3141 counties in America by 2026 b4 going international. They have ties to the New Apostolic Reformation. #CROW 1/ Image
2/ @KiraResistance wrote about the Oklahoma-based “City Elders” group and its explicitly global dominionist ambitions in the latest edition of our newsletter, the Christian Right Observer Weekly. See Brief #3. #CROW crownewsletter.substack.com/p/christian-ri…

@KiraResistance 3/ Here’s a clip of “City Elders” founder Jesse Leon Rodgers in which he expressly states that what they want is more extreme than “theocracy.” Rather, what they want is “theonomy.”

Whoa. Harrison Butker co-founded a company called MDKeller with Catholic influencer Austin Wright who had a fellowship at the Leonine Forum where Leonard Leo sits on the Board of Directors. h/t @srabwilli (on TikTok). 1/ leonineforum.org/testimonies-up…

2/ Here's an archived link to the "Team" members page of MDKeller's website, which was scrubbed after @srabwilli posted about it. web.archive.org/web/2024011001…

Seems that Harrison Butker & Catholic influencer Austin Wright co-founded a company called MDKeller whose “team” includes people w/ ties to the Heritage Foundation (Project 2025), the Federalist Society (tied to Leonard Leo), Catholic University (tied to Leonard Leo), & the Blackstone Legal Fellowship (tied to the Alliance Defending Freedom). Portions of MDKeller’s website were scrubbed today or yesterday after a social media user posted about it. 1/

Evangelist Kirk Cameron & Alliance Defending Freedom lawyer Erin Hawley (Josh Hawley’s wife) openly discuss the Christian Right’s post-Roe plan to lay the groundwork for SCOTUS to ban abortion in all 50 states on the basis that a fetus is a “person” under the 14th Amendment. 1/
2/ Here’s where I got the clip in post 1.
Image
3/ Erin Hawley is a Yale law school graduate. Here, her alma mater writes that Hawley has clerked for SCOTUS justice John Roberts, that she helped defeat Roe v Wade (in the Dobbs case) and that she is the lead counsel in the abortion pill case currently pending before SCOTUS. yaledailynews.com/blog/2024/04/0…Image

Even after the GOP stole that SCOTUS seat from Obama, the Christian Right did not have enough SCOTUS justices to reverse Roe. This changed w/ the “surprise” retirement of Justice Kennedy who had often voted to support abortion rights, per Christian Right lawyer Josh Bursch. 1/
John Bursch is an attorney w/ the Alliance Defending Freedom, which helped lead the effort to overturn Roe. Here’s where I got the clip in post 1. It’s from an interview of Bursch by the Catholic Information Center where Leonard Leo sits on the board. 2/
Image
3/ What Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) attorney John Bursch didn’t mention is that the ADF drafted the Mississippi law that led to the Dobbs case on which the ADF then served as “silent co-counsel.” Like a well-oiled machine.
