==

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

"a look back at the cases of 10 individuals brings a pattern into clearer focus: After #Trump made repeated public or private demands for them to be targeted by the govt, they faced federal pressure of one kind or another.

...Even without his direct order, his indirect influence could serve his ends and leave those in his sights facing expensive, time-consuming #legal proceedings or other high-stress inquiries."

Text from article:
The episode marked the start of a more aggressive effort by Mr. Trump to deploy his power against his perceived enemies despite warnings not to do so by top aides. And a look back at the cases of 10 individuals brings a pattern into clearer focus: After Mr. Trump made repeated public or private demands for them to be targeted by the government, they faced federal pressure of one kind or another.

The broad outlines of those episodes have been previously reported. But a closer examination reveals the degree of concern and pushback against Mr. Trump’s demands inside the White House.

And it highlights how closely his expressed desires to go after people who had drawn his ire were sometimes followed by the Justice Department, F.B.I. or other agencies. Even without his direct order, his indirect influence could serve his ends and leave those in his sights facing expensive, time-consuming legal proceedings or other high-stress inquiries.

"Rather than calling out right-wing attacks on #Harris as #racism, pure & simple, reporter Emmanuel Felton... termed them “racial attacks” & situated them as part of “the broader culture war over corporate diversity & affirmative action programs.”

The #headline on that story was another passive #horror,  putting the onus on Harris rather than on the perpetrators: “Harris’s campaign will have to contend with #DEI, culture war attacks”.

Text from article: The Washington Post, meanwhile, is blaming the culture wars. Rather than calling out right-wing attacks on Harris as racism, pure and simple, reporter Emmanuel Felton on Monday termed them “racial attacks” and situated them as part of “the broader culture war over corporate diversity and affirmative action programs.” For Felton, the story is not that the right wing is responding to Harris with grotesque racism, it’s that “America’s fraught racial politics are set to, once again, take center stage.” The headline on that story was another passive horror, almost putting the onus on Harris rather than on the perpetrators: “Harris’s campaign will have to contend with DEI, culture war attacks”.

Such claims are the currency of the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, a Christian religious and political movement “driven by theocratic notions of total societal dominion, including the end of democracy as we’ve known it,” as leading NAR experts Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné have described it. As within the wider Christian nationalism movement, NAR prophets encourage followers to “think of themselves as soldiers in a cosmic conflict,” as religion scholar and former Christian evangelical pastor Bradley Onishi has said. The stakes here are higher than mere elections; it’s about who prevails in an apocalyptic battle. “When you explain it that way to folks,” Onishi recently told NBC News, “you’re able to prime them, not only for action, but I think for extreme measures.”

"You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile & specious personal attacks based on her #race & #gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract & demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential #election year — winning — which depends on #voting"
