"The SBC and Christian nationalism are so interwoven. What happens in the SBC is now affecting what happens in the U.S. ... As women's voices continue to be marginalized in the SBC, it will affect what's happening in the U.S. overall." - Meredith Stone
"Many people do advocacy not to win something, not for a particular action, but we do it because we know it's right. We do it because we know that it's worth speaking up for." - Meredith Stone
The SBC voted to ban women pastors. I'm grateful to those who spoke up for the worth of women & girls.
This miswording is NOT an accident. It's a sleight-of-hand that serves to indoctrinate Southern Baptists into a limited view of the First Amendment.
Pete Hegseth's D-day remarks are described as "a desecration" of the memory of soldiers who fell at Normandy, and as a “special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity and comically ludicrous self-importance”.
“They can’t go to sleep with a stuffed animal. They can’t go to sleep with a security blanket, that’s just not allowed.”
ICE has detained over 500 babies & toddlers during Trump's 2nd term, and they've banned stuffies at the detention center.
Cruelty to children.

The pattern will repeat. When it does, may we all see the reality of Southern Baptist officials’ do-nothing ruses in real time. May we refuse to smile at their falsity, to parrot their propaganda, or to play any role in their image-repair charades.

I’m hoping that, over the next week, the whole world will get a good look at the Southern Baptist Convention's small-minded, misogynistic meanness.
They're fixated on silencing women. My latest, featuring @sheilagregoire.bsky.social. #ThisistheSBC

Well worth reading. . .People generally give Christian schools the benefit of the doubt. We shouldn't.

If the second Trump term has shown anything, it’s that religion is not a side story - it’s the decoder ring for understanding rising authoritarianism, election results, court decisions, education wars, media bias, and the erosion of democratic norms in real time.
