Reminder: the assault on/erasure of transgender people is based on one set of religious views about gender, as exemplified by Trump's EO on gender, which defines gender as beginning at conception. The government shouldn't impose one religion's beliefs on all of us. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

The right-wing #SCOTUS Justices appear content to disregard the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Extremely distressing. cc: @americansunited.bsky.social @rachellaser.bsky.social @ffrf.org

I continue to see eye to eye with @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social, a conservative columnist, in many instances- such as this one. An astute piece about how Christian Nationalism is a political ideology- not a Christian one. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/o...

Religious freedom will be tested next month with a major Supreme Court case. We interviewed @rachellaser.bsky.social, CEO of @americansunited.bsky.social to learn about the case and its implications for Jews and all religious minorities in this country. bermanarchive.stanford.edu/church-state...

My friend @robertpjones.bsky.social speaks truth to power. Trump's anti-Christian bias task force is, in fact, anti-Christian. contrarian.substack.com/p/what-anti-...

It's not only that JD Vance got his Catholicism wrong (according to Pope Francis), it's also that he is using his personal religion to justify US policy. SEPARATE CHURCH & STATE. It's the American way! newrepublic.com/article/1914...

The (Orthodox) Jewish former congressman advocating for how the St. Isidore case could open the door to funding of Jewish school too admits in this article that in Oklahoma (like in many places) there is too small a Jewish population for that to be practical. www.jta.org/2025/02/10/u...

Trump cited the case of a woman violating Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for why we need an "Anti-Christian Bias" Task Force. But it's not anti-Christian to enforce a neutral and generally applicable law. My colleague @andrewlseidel.bsky.social explains: www.au.org/the-latest/a...
