They want vouchers to help them replace public schools w/ private Christian schools (which can “choose” which students to enroll). On his voucher propaganda tour, TX Governor Greg Abbott has “only visited expensive private Christian institutions …” #Christofascism#txpol 1/
“Of the seven schools the governor [Abbott] has visited on his ‘Parent Empowerment Tour,’ not a single one has been a public school or a secular private school or a religious school affiliated with Catholicism, Islam, or Judaism. Not even a Montessori.” 2/
“If the goal was to reassure critics that [TX Governor] Abbott’s embrace of vouchers wasn’t a recipe for draining the public school system while subsidizing the children of wealthy Christian conservatives in private schools…, none of those critics were around to hear it.“ 3/

Mainstream media outlets are ignoring the Christian nationalism behind the push to destroy the federal civil service | Media Matters for America 4/27/23 h/t @suevisa 1/ mediamatters.org/diversity-disc…
The MSM is “ignoring Christian nationalism’s central role in a new conservative operation to ensure that a future Republican president implements ‘Schedule F,’ a radical plan to eliminate job protections for federal workers who don’t share an extreme, right-wing ideology.” 2/
“If successful, the effort could convert up to 20,000 career federal staff positions into political appointments, which usually top out at around 4,000, effectively gutting agencies of experts with decades of institutional knowledge.” 3/
“Five ‘Christian influencers’ still face defamation case by former Dominion executive [Eric Coomer]” – Baptist News Global 4/26/23 1/ baptistnews.com/article/five-c…

“While claiming to speak truth, Metaxas admitted under oath he doesn’t verify the truth of allegations aired on his own broadcasts... ‘Metaxas went after Dominion’s Eric Coomer on the Nov. 24, 2020, edition of the Eric Metaxas Show, carried on Salem Broadcasting.” 3/

Whoa. This guy is celebrating OK library purges while promoting a book by Wallbuilders founder David Barton, a top opponent of the separation between church & state. He tagged Moms for Liberty, a Christian extremist nonprofit that has collaborated w/ Barton. 1/ #ChristoFascism
Dec 11 , 2020 was when SCOTUS rejected the application filed by Texas AG Ken Paxton, which sought to overturn Trump’s loss. The brief had been ghost written by evangelical extremist lawyer Michael Farris. Dec 11 was an important turning point. (Dec 18 was another.) 1/
The tape of Scott Hall bragging about the voting system breach was played during the deposition of Gabe Sterling (GA SOS’s operating officer) in Feb 2022. But the SOS took no investigative action until Aug 2022 when he finally alerted the Bureau of Investigations. WTF? #gapol 1/
People want to believe that our institutions are holding. But the truth is that they often are not. In this instance, our institutions would neither have discovered the Coffee County breach, nor taken investigative action but 4 the eternal vigilance of @MarilynRMarks1. #gapol 2/
We need a nationwide investigation to determine where else these MAGA operators might have breached voting systems. As discovered by @SEGreenhalgh, however, @TheJusticeDept seems to have done NOTHING to investigate. We must help her hold their feet to the fire. #vigilance 3/
