[ [link removed] ]Right Wing Watch: Oklahoma Superintendent Orders Public Schools to
Teach Bible as White Christian Nationalists Go ‘On Offense’
Oklahoma’s Christian nationalist state superintendent of education Ryan
Walters this week instructed all public schools to teach the Bible, which
the New York Times called “an extraordinary move that blurs the lines
between religious and instruction and public education.”
Walters, an energetic supporter of former President Donald Trump, actively
seeks the media spotlight for his aggressive Christian nationalism and
culture war posturing.

[ [link removed] ]It’s on All of Us to Defeat Trump
Throughout this election cycle, Donald Trump has showcased his arrogance
and dishonesty, spreading falsehoods and displaying a blatant disregard
for the truth. His agenda – and his destructive plans should he return to
office – threatens the very survival of our democracy, and we cannot
afford to let him return to the White House.
In stark contrast to the threats of a second Trump presidency, during his
first term President Biden has addressed some of the most pressing issues
facing our country. Under his leadership, we have seen significant
progress in rebuilding our economy, expanding access to health care,
restoring balance and integrity to our federal judiciary, tackling climate
change, and more. President Biden has worked tirelessly to promote unity
and restore America's standing on the global stage. These accomplishments
are a testament to the positive impact of his leadership, but there is
still much work to be done.
To continue building upon the success of President Biden's first term, we
need your support. Your contributions are crucial in ensuring that we have
the resources to fight against Trump and the MAGA movement's lies and
defend our democracy from their attacks. Together, we can safeguard the
progress we've made and pave the way for a brighter future.

[ [link removed] ]OP-ED: Trump’s Insulting Black Voter Strategy is Biden’s Shot at
Redemption
Black voters will decide this presidential election.
I firmly believe that, and it looks like Donald Trump’s campaign believes
it too.
New reports say Trump has stepped up his outreach to Black voters in
recent days. That may be a smart thing. What’s not so smart is that they
seem to be doing it by leaning into Trump’s new identity as a criminal.

[ [link removed] ]Biden Judges and LGBTQ+ Rights
As we close out LGBTQ+ pride month, decisions and votes by Biden judges
protecting LGBTQ+ rights give us much to be proud about. Although a
number of these decisions are not yet final, they have already had an
important impact in combatting discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals
around the country.

[ [link removed] ]How Artists are Uniting to Defeat Donald Trump at the Polls
Art has the power to transform the world. It reaches people in ways that
conventional language cannot. It shapes culture and drives political
movements. Visual artists, poets, musicians and performers of all kinds
hold immeasurable sway over the hearts and minds of people worldwide and
have since the dawn of civilization.
Today, the US stands at an unprecedented and dangerous crossroads. Our
nation’s nearly 250-year-old democracy is under siege from enemies both
foreign and domestic, and the results of our presidential election in
November will forever shape the future of our country, our democracy and
the modern world as we know it. This is where art meets activism.

As we face a growing wave of authoritarianism and anti-democratic forces,
it has never been more critical to secure the future of our democracy and
the progressive values that are under attack by right-wing extremists. One
way to join this cause is through estate planning to protect the people
and things you love, safeguard your assets, and secure a brighter future
for our country.
Despite the value of planning, the process is often inaccessible,
overwhelming, and expensive — especially to historically disenfranchised
communities. That's why we are excited to announce our new partnership
with FreeWill so that our supporters can create their wills, and plan
their estates at NO cost to you.
