3/ “In his book The Case for Christian Nationalism, published by [Doug] Wilson’s Canon Press, Wolfe…calls for outright religious discrimination. ‘Non-Christians living among us are entitled to justice, peace, and safety, but they are not entitled to political equality,’ he writes.”
The New Christian Right, Antisemitism & U.S. Democracy
For years, Christian supremacist ideology was coursing through American conservatism. Now it—and its antisemitism—is out in the open, in the halls of power and scaring Jews.

The 9th Circuit’s description of what happened after the government introduced the “metering” policy to block asylum seekers at the border. Incredibly bleak. www.scotusblog.com/wp-content/u...
Due to the metering policy, asylum seekers began to accumulate on the Mexico side of the border. Many camped near the bridges at ports of entry. In an at- tempt to impose some order, Mexican government offi- cials and nonprofits made lists of people waiting to be processed. U.S. border officials sometimes coordi- nated informally with those keeping lists, but they did not keep lists of their own. Asylum seekers waited in Mexico for days, weeks, or months. Many were subject to persecution and crime, and they often lacked adequate food and shelter. Some were murdered in Mexico while waiting for an oppor- tunity to be processed by U.S. officials. Some at- tempted to reach U.S. soil by other means, such as run- ning down vehicle lanes at ports of entry, so that they could apply for asylum. Others, including young chil- dren, tried to swim across the Rio Grande River and drowned.
