In 2019, an investigation found 700 victims (many of them children) of alleged sex abuse by leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest evangelical denomination. The Christian Right deflected by smearing public (secular) schools as “groomers.” 1/
Here’s the complete PBS video. As shown in part 1, it includes an interview of journalist @RobertDownen_ who spearheaded the investigation, which was conducted by the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News. 2/
@RobertDownen_ 3/ And here’s the report. Not enough Americans are aware of the horrific sex abuse scandal that has tainted the Southern Baptist Convention. houstonchronicle.com/news/investiga…

The “Save America Act” says that all states “shall” submit their voter lists to the DHS’s “SAVE” voter purge program, which has error rates as high as 14% & relies on data from SSA whose databases were mishandled by DOGE. I include this & the Act’s other parts in this summary. 1/ Image

The Save America Act “requires all states to turn over all voter rolls…to the [DHS]” & to “use a voter purge system created by DOGE, relying on [SSA] data that has been shown to be unreliable...” This is the same DOGE that allegedly “made off with … [SSA] information…” By @NormOrnstein 1/Image

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this helps raise awareness. 1/ Image

BREAKING: The latest whistleblower report re: DOGE’s alleged compromise of SSA’s databases has dire implications for the Trump-backed so-called “Save America Act,” which requires that all 50 states submit their voter registration lists to the DHS’s “Save” voter purge system that depends on SSA’s data. I’ve updated my summary of the Act to reflect this underreported connection. 1/ #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotesImage

BREAKING: A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE member claimed he kept his SSA computer & credentials w/ “God-level” access to SSA systems. Yet the “Save America Act” wld force every state to rely on a voter-purge system dependent on SSA data, creating a national election security threat. 1/Image
