William Wolfe, who admires Christian Nationalist kingpin Doug Wilson, founded the Center for Baptist Leadership (CBL) w/ the goal of making the already conservative Southern Baptist Convention even more extreme. CBL is supported by American Reformer whose director is a close ally of Peter Thiel. 1/

Doug Wilson is a “Christian Nationalist” pastor & “biblical patriarchy” proponent whose new DC church is attended by Pete Hegseth. Israeli-American Yoram Hazony—whose Thiel-linked “NatCon” conferences helped propel JD Vance’s political career—platforms Wilson & Wilson’s associates & admirers. 1/

This is what is happening now🧵

This movement is unfortunately much bigger than Pete Hegseth. Thread. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”

The reason people keep claiming that Republicans and other types of creepy religious freaks want to take away the vote for women is because they keep saying that's what they intend to do.

Today, the fact that the airstrike that killed an Al Jazeera journalist and his crew whom Israel had smeared as a terrorist in advance hit next to a hospital is just the fourth or fifth most horrific detail, and yet the international response will be… what? More nothing.

Home Depot and Lowe's Share Data From Hundreds of AI Cameras With Cops Home improvement stores are finding ways to share data from their Flock license plate reader cameras with law enforcement, according to public records.

No truer words have been spoken. 😳👇

They were in a tent just outside the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza. The ENTIRE Al-Jazeera news crew in Gaza was killed by Israeli bombing.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons.

It doesn’t say you’re only supposed to count U.S. citizens.

Trump says you’ve got to redo the census but can’t include “illegals”? Tough shit—the Constitution says otherwise.

It’s important to understand what a state-funded classroom looks like versus a teacher-funded classroom. Your beef is with the state, not the teacher.

This issue is already starting to fissure his MAGA base and the GOP iron curtain in Congress. Subpoenas have just been issued to the Justice Department by the GOP Chair of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Comer of Kentucky – a close friend of Senator McConnell.

There are eight Americans who collectively hold over 50% of this countries wealth. That’s a fucking problem!
