There is currently a lot of debate about whether Vance Boelter was an outlier for Christian extremism, and whether anti-abortion extremism is an outlier for Christianity. The reality is, the anti-abortion movement is inextricably linked to Replacement Theory and anyone who believes in it.

From the recent Rutgers Hindutva report, read how US unfamiliarity with Hindutva allows it to spread:
"On July 30, 2024, the Montgomery Theatre in San Jose hosted a... dramatization of a book promoted by Gopal Godse, brother of the assassin of India's revered independence leader Mahatma Gandhi."

Full solidarity with Savera coalition member @sikhcoalition.bsky.social. The Sangh's hypocrisy is striking: they insist (accurately) that Hindu Americans come from diverse backgrounds beyond India, but demand that other categories (Bengali, Sikh, Punjabi American) be subsumed into "one identity."
This week, @hinduamerican.org's Regional Director in CA attended a Fremont school district board meeting.
While criticizing the district’s ethnic studies curriculum, she claimed that the terms “Bengali American, Sikh American, and Punjabi American” all “represent one identity.”
