“A Guardian investigation has revealed that a controversial church whose leader has openly expressed the ambition of creating a ‘theocracy’ in America has accumulated significant influence in the [traditionally “blue”] city of Moscow, Idaho.” 11/2/21 1/ theguardian.com/world/2021/nov…
2/ If you think you are safe from the theocratic assault on America because you live in a “blue” city, you may want to take a look at what Doug Wilson is doing in Moscow, Idaho.
4/ Even Doug Wilson characterized Moscow, Idaho as a “blue dot.” That didn’t stop him.
5/ I included a discussion of Doug Wilson in my recent piece on Michael Farris. Wilson’s church church previously ran Canon Press, which is now part-owned by his son & recently published a book promoting Christian Nationalism. #ShinyHappyPeoplebuckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ…

8/ Wilson has also helped produce a Christian (“Classical”) homeschooling curriculum.
9/ Doug Wilson’s Christian homeschooling curriculum is as offensive as you might expect.
10/
11/ Doug Wilson’s annual “Repairing the Ruins” conference is coming to Pennsylvania on 6/23/23, less than a week before the Moms for Liberty annual summit, which will also take place in PA. Theocrats have targeted the Keystone state. They want it bad.
In 2004, the SPLC profiled Doug Wilson “after he co-authored a pamphlet on slavery, characterizing it as a ‘life of plenty’ 4 Black people. (His co-author was Steven Wilkins, the former director of the white nationalist League of the South.)” 8/1/20 18/ hcn.org/issues/52.8/ex…
Wilson “revels in his controversial profile: In one 2018 video, he casually smoked a cigar while sitting on a burning couch. ‘It’s not the job of the preacher to be a firefighter out in the world,’ he said. ‘We’re supposed to be arsonists.’” 9/

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…
The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/
The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.
The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/
Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/
The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.
The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/
Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/
