The horrific assassination of a Minnesota state legislator and her spouse — and the attempted assassination of another legislator and his wife — has been termed as “politically motivated.” More aptly, it should also be categorized as Christian nationalist-motivated terrorism. ffrf.us/4458b4k

Because nothing says “religious freedom” like Dr. Phil.

Fish attended Trump’s “Religious Liberty Commission,” where the agenda wasn’t freedom. Nobody’s banning Christianity. They want government-backed religion and control.

A threat to belief, nonbelief, and conscience alike.

With this regime, yes, it comes down to ethnicity. SMH
ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable.

ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

Whether it's Guantánamo Bay or El Salvador, President Trump thinks he can skirt the law by shipping immigrants to offshore prisons.

He's wrong. We'll see the administration in court.
Trump team plans to send thousands of migrants to Guantanamo starting as soon as this week
The use of the facility would send another signal of deterrence amid immigration crackdown.

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies.

Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare.
It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

The Supreme Court will hear a case today about the legality of a taxpayer-funded religious school.

Oklahoma's Supreme Court said no. The state's attorney general said no.

But Christian Nationalists are all for it. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The founders had disagreements about the role of religion in America’s public schools, but there was always one line they would not cross.

While the decline of Christianity may have paused, the trend toward secularism and free thought will continue if we put in the work.

The aggressive Christian nationalist push to force Americans to adhere to religious dogma over reason will lead to more defectors.
One of the largest surveys on religion in America has found that the decline of Christianity has paused... but that may only be temporary.

The bigger shock? It's become easier than ever to leave organized religion.

Great news for secular government!

Congratulations to Sean Faircloth on his victory.

We need more leaders who will stand up for reason, evidence-based policy, and church-state separation.
For two years, Sean Faircloth ran the Secular Coalition for America, a lobbying group representing non-religious Americans on Capitol Hill.

Tonight, Faircloth won a special election to the Maine House of Representatives.
