It doesn’t sound completely awful in the abstract. But Josh Hawley is a Christofascist, which suggests that what he wants is for kids to have no access to information other than through Christian private schools and Christian homeschooling. #Christofascism 1/
5/ OMG. Josh Hawley is in cahoots with Alexey Komov, the Russian Christofascist homeschooling proponent who works for indicted Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev. Because of course he is.
6/ Malofeev’s “Safe Internet League” is supposedly meant to “protect children” but really is a fascist Kremlin project to block objectionable content (eg, anti - Kremlin talking points). Komov & Torshin are on the board.
7/ Hawley’s bill is probably a copycat. (Full disclosure: I haven’t read it.)
8/ OMFG. When I’m right I’m right. Josh Hawley’s wife works for the Alliance Defending Freedom founded by Christofascist homeschooling proponent Michael Farris.
8/ "’Parental rights’ started on the Christian fringe [eg, with Michael Farris and the Home School Legal Defense Association]…” Now it’s the “Moms for Liberty” rallying cry. 1/12/22 salon.com/2022/01/12/par…
In 2024, a handful of very wealthy right wing men—Leonard Leo, Dick Uihlein, Charles Koch, & Jeff Yass—will target STATE judicial elections in an effort to “make their personal agendas into binding law.” (New report by True North, 4/24/24) 1/ truenorthresearch.org/2024/04/report…

@thelisagraves 3/ This report is an incredible resource. Wow. Here’s just the part on SCOTUS puppeteer Leonard Leo.
😳”Kingdom Ministries” & “The Collective” are holding workshops on how to “stop the bleed” & tie a tourniquet, as well as “chest seal application,” firearms training, & ‘high stress” team communications. (The Collective’s website lists 7 Mountain dominionists Jenny Donnelly & Lou Engle as leaders.) by @dhbonny 1/ @FBI yoursourceone.com/columbia_basin…
In 2023, Heritage boasted that “The Left is right to fear our plan [Project 2025] to gut the federal bureaucracy.” After backlash, they falsely accused “liberal media” of exaggerating their intentions: “We’re not out to…radically restructure the whole system.” Uh huh. Listen 1/
Robert George—a Leonard Leo confidante & Princeton professor—claims that embryos are “persons” under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, giving them equal protection under the law. Translation: abortion = murder, and states have NO right to allow abortion access. 1/
2/ Robert George made these remarks during an appearance two years ago on EWTN, the largest Catholic media network in the country. Here’s the link.
3/ Here’s a great article by John Gehring that discusses, among other things, Robert George’s close relationship with SCOTUS puppet master Leonard Leo. ncronline.org/news/leonard-l…
JD Vance is reportedly on Trump’s VP short list after billionaire Peter Thiel spent $10 million to get Vance elected. Vance apparently thinks that women should remain in violent marriages. Christian extremists love him. 1/ #BiblicalPatriarchy
