My latest for @TIME. Data from less than a year ago suggested Trump's evangelical support was weakening. But in a matter of months, both devout & nominal evangelicals had fallen in line, again. Why? It's not something Trump did. It's who evangelicals are. time.com/6588138/evange…
We are and always will be the First People of this country. That is a fact which has not been reconciled with and continues unaddressed. It cannot be addressed by simple words of recognition that would otherwise erase our presence and rights as Indigenous people in favour of a…
Thread: Unlike mainstream commentators, I don't think there is anything the 'Yes Campaign' could have done to win the No voters. You can provide someone with information but can't lead them to judgement. No voters knew what they wanted. No point questioning their choice.

Regarding the Voice and the misuse of Martin Luther King Jr. quotes by Tony Abbott to support the “No” campaign, I’d like to point out this quote from MLK:
My fellow white people, when friends, family, co-workers, pastors, pundits & elected officials drop "woke" as a term of derision, know that what's being voiced in your presence is white supremacist terror rhetoric. Don't sit still for it. We become what we sit still for.
Here’s a great interview with Thomas Mayo and Kerry O’Brien about why the Voice is so important. I found it helpful and clarifying. overcast.fm/+NtAFZazuw
A confession: I used to vote for Republicans and Democrats because I believed it was important to have both parties value the black vote. That is until I realized that you had to relinquish a huge part of yourself to embrace the GOP, especially since Obama was elected. 1/

643K Followers 270 Following Baptist Minister & Political, Civil Rights, and Social Justice ActivistI've finished up my reporting on this. I'm a professor at Davidson College, a veteran journalist, and I helped lead the efforts that produced the first Commitment to Freedom of Expression statement for a school like ours in North Carolina. Here's what I found. A thread. 1/
“So, are you saying that all white people are racist?” “Yes.” “We would also say that it’s only white people that could be racist, that are racist.” You have to watch this clip from a film Davidson College required all its student-athletes to watch.
Awhile back, I promised @Tyler_A_Harper I'd deal with the question of "privilege" for black people such as myself. Here it is. But I'll do it the way I did it for my students. Read this thread THEN decide if Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid) is from a privileged background. 1/
Babylon Bee guy accidentally interprets the Bible correctly.
If Jesus is your savior then anyone trying to break into your home is your neighbor.
I often use the phrase: "There is a Christian practice that aims at incarceration, and a Christian practice that aims at liberation. Everything else is just public relations." But I don't often explain what I mean. So here's a #thread. 1/n
I get this question a lot about the Christian right: Is their aim roughly the equivalent of imposing Sharia law? Since my other area of expertise is American Islam (my 1st book is on American Salafism - cambridge.org/core/books/scr…), I'd like to clarify some points. 1/
@TaylorMatthewD Is it accurate to say these folks want to impose the Christian version of Sharia law?
If you’re wondering what the rationale is behind insisting you can’t be racist against white ppl, here’s a thread:
President Sasse is many things. I bet many have reason to imagine him a man of integrity. He also betrayed oath & baptism when he chose to protect Brett Kavanaugh & #PublicServant45 against moral oversight in exchange for power. We need to stop coddling public enablers of abuse.

Mike Johnson, second in line to the presidency, flies a symbol of insurrection and violence outside his office. It is a window into his religious extremism. @TaylorMatthewD and I wrote about it for @RollingStone: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
The American Right is fully committed to a fundamentally anti-democratic project, and the Republican Party has a comprehensive strategy to put it into practice. Some thoughts on the radicalizing threat of authoritarian minority rule: 1/
North Carolina Republicans advanced a new congressional gerrymander with 10 safe GOP seats, 3 safe Dem seats, & 1 GOP-trending swing district in this major swing state. It would be among the nation's most extreme gerrymanders & replace a court-drawn map that went 7D-7R in 2022

"You claim that it is all cultural but I choose to believe that it is biological." So let's talk about the history of ideologies of gender difference.
What do pro-slavery theologians, creation scientists, and white Christian nationalists have in common?
Let the record show that my manuscript on the ideology of the religious right was submitted before the creation scientists started hosting parties for the white Christian nationalists.
So people keep asking me what I think of The Voice. (The Australian referendum for those living elsewhere. Not a TV show.) So here goes, in order to articulate some things and get them straight in my head at least. 1/lots
Again, long tradition of U.S. Christians dismissing entire sects of U.S. Christians, such as when Thomas Jefferson once declared Presbyterians/Calvinists as blasphemers, and threw shade at Jesuits while he was at it.
No, what you are discussing is 1) a group of Christians contending for the faith. And 2) Wolves who have secretly slipped in among us, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality.
He’s right. Mainstream media won’t talk about how the white community is embracing the “thug life.” I’ll do it: thegrio.com/2023/08/25/we-…

Very good thread by a pastor who lost his flock to the idolatry of Trump. Pre-Trump, I argued in a book called The Family that full fascism wasn’t possible in the US because very devout Christians wouldn’t trade Christ for a human cult of personality. I was wrong.
