I was honored to be interviewed by On the Media's Brooke Gladstone for this week's episode. We talked about the assassination attempt on Trump & how it has unleashed a dangerous new wave of fervor & certainly among the Trump prophets & prophecy believers. Shout out to Paul Djupe!

My latest piece is in POLITICO concerning how the 100s of Christian Trump pophets are excitedly interpreting the assassination attempt. If you think that sounds absurd, please read, bc these prophecies helped foment January 6th & could do so again. politico.com/news/magazine/…

Some data on cat ladies, via the 2018 GSS: - Men and women are equally likely to have cats. - Women are more likely than men to have dogs. Men are more likely than women to have no pets. - Men who have cats are more likely to be Democrats than women who have cats.

As a new set of religious terminology enters the public arena, here's an indispensable guide to understanding it 'Jezebel' is racist and sexist, but it's much more - check out this thread and give Matt a follow if you haven't already.

Wait, what? Trump is going to install his Proj2025 army to “fix” everything so Christians won’t have to vote again. That’s a bit of a problem.

They are mobilizing poll workers not to be good public servants, but to be "trojan horses" to make biased decisions when the "chaos" starts. Buckle up, people, It's still only July.

Joshua Caleb Standifer's organization Lion of Judah represents an urgent & unrecognized hazard to our democracy this fall. It's targeting election workers. I was at this event on Monday. I talked to Standifer himself. So please, watch this video, & I'll continue... 1/

And just to reinforce what Matt is saying here, the link between prophecy belief and belief in 2020 election fraud is really strong. There are a lot of these folks out there to be recruited: religioninpublic.blog/2022/11/08/pro…

Excited to start my Tenure-track gig at Tennessee State University in Nashville. Already exhausted. Can you believe they are gonna let me shape young mind?!? The hills are steep here!!! Pray for my sanity and legs.

We know from survey data collected by Paul Djupe & others that these ideas are spreading rapidly among American Christians, esp'ly as Trump's 2020 election lies are supercharging his supporters' extremism & sense of alienation from broader culture. 17/ religioninpublic.blog/2024/05/13/bel…

Wow! So honored to have my scholarship featured again on On the Media w/ Brooke Gladstone. I'm very grateful that this show has been a leader in sounding the alarms about the rising tide of Christian extremism amid this election. h/t to Paul Djupe for his top notch survey research.

Yes this new NAR Apostle I've found is decidedly Democrat and is taking Dominion for Democrats NAR can be any political affiliation

I had the privilege of joining Major Garrett & an CBS News crew in Eau Claire, WI in July for a stop on Lance Wallnau's Courage Tour. It matters greatly that so many reporters & outlets are tracking these anti-democratic New Apostolic Reformation leaders this election cycle.

Happening now in PCC 202b - a panel honoring the community engaged religion and politics work by Rebecca Glazier! ⁦Temple Univ Press⁩ ⁦Dr. Rebecca Glazier⁩

Just arrived! Matthew D. Taylor’s highly anticipated analysis of the highly-organized, charismatic wing of the Christian Nationalist movement and its influence on the contemporary Republican Party. Required reading.

A great article by Tess Owen on Wallnau & election mobilization efforts. Shout out to Matthew D. Taylor & Paul Djupe for their work too!

Amazingly timely academic research! They find that while Swift can encourage interest in voting, Swifties are less enthused when she endorses a Democrat. Nice writeup in The Hill.

This is the NAR leader that CBS Evening News uncritically platformed, in a recent segment, rather than grilling him on his anti-democratic, Christian supremacist agenda. Also, Kira Resistance 🚨 needs your support. gofund.me/e8203c1d
