1/5 Last night, Christians Against Christian Nationalism hosted a special event at the U.S. Capitol: the *first* screening of GOD & COUNTRY.

After the film, I moderated Q&A w/ producer @RobReiner and director @dpartland about the threat of #ChristianNationalism to our democracy. Image 2/5 I'm grateful to @RepHuffman for making it possible to hold the screening at the U.S. Capitol.

He has been a remarkable ally in the fight to end #ChristianNationalism. He was one of several members of Congress in attendance last night. Image

Texas Rep. @jamestalarico's opposition to legislation forcing schools to display the Ten Commandments went viral this week.

We spoke yesterday about being Christians Against #ChristianNationalism. Part 1: "This bill does a disservice to both Judaism and Christianity," @jamestalarico told me.

In part two of our conversation, we discuss why forcing schools to post the Ten Commandments is bad from religious, historical and constitutional perspectives.

1/8 I’m grateful for the opportunity to testify before the U.S. House Oversight Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties this morning on the threat of #ChristianNationalism. I will discuss how this ideology overlaps with and provides cover for white supremacy. 2/8 This is the seventh and final hearing in the Subcommittee's series on “Confronting White Supremacy,” chaired by @RepRaskin. This hearing will address “The Evolution of Anti-Democratic Extremist Groups and the Ongoing Threat to Democracy.”
