MRFF UPDATE: A new video message from Mikey Weinstein and our latest victory against military MAGAs [1]

Greetings DKos community. It’s been an unusually long time since I last posted any news from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), but rest assured, as Mikey emphatically said in his video message the day after the orange oligarch was lamentably reelected: “We are going nowhere. We will continue to fight.”

Mikey has been taking phone calls literally around the clock from anxious military service members as well as distraught civilian VA and DoD employees, fearful that a chainsaw-wielding immigrant is about to take their jobs away. Calls are also coming in from civilian employees of the 18 National Security agencies (CIA, DIA, FBI, NSA, et al), DHS (U.S. Coast Guard), and DOT (U.S. Maritime Service), among other justifiably terrified MRFF client bases.

I, as MRFF’s research director, have been spending much of my time just monitoring a slew of things that we need to monitor to protect the integrity of our hard-fought, constitutionally-based advances against Christian nationalism and thoroughly un-American MAGA ideology in our military and all the other departments and agencies listed above, leaving me little time to write about our victories, which, as you’ll see in the e-mail below from one of our active duty military clients, we are still achieving despite our new Orwellian regime.

And MRFF will continue to fight the forces of our government’s now-officially-endorsed Christian nationalism because, as Mikey bluntly says in this new video message: “If you don't resist, you're a collaborator.”

Here’s the e-mail that came in yesterday from an active duty military member, writing on behalf of a group of 36 military members, detailing the appalling torrent of MAGA-infused Christian nationalist rhetoric that spewed from the pious pie hole of one officer at a mandatory unit assembly — an officer that, as MRFF’s client reports, is now being formally disciplined:

To: Information Weinstein <[email protected]> Dear Mr. Weinstein and to the MRFF: Thank you all for getting the win for us and for our military unit here at (military installation name withheld) after one of our staff officers at a mandatory unit assembly for (military unit name withheld) abused our constitutional rights. And he was our commander’s hand picked officer speaker. This officer speaker was majorly attacking DEI in America and our military and said all we need to do instead of following “woke DEI" is to ask “what would Jesus do”? He also said that he hoped we all would accept Jesus as our savior as he had done years ago but even if not we all must admit that Jesus "was the world’s greatest philosopher." He ended by saying that if none of that worked for us we can ask “what would Satan do?” and just do the opposite. So, BOOM, no DEI ever needed again just Jesus! 36 of us all military worked with our base MRFF rep to get to Mikey Weinstein for help. 21 of us are Christians with others from other religions and also some agnostics & nonbelievers. I am one of the Christians but don’t go to chapel much. And Mikey was even at a doctor’s appointment when we called but he still took our call for help too! Mikey got ahold of our commander and registered our complaints because if any of us did it ourselves we would be totally screwed forever. Great news! We just learned that this officer speaker is being formally disciplined but we don’t know the specifics and may not ever find out due to the Privacy Act. But it’s the talk of our unit and the lesson has been learned we hope! Without our local MRFF rep and Mikey this would have never ended so well & so we all thank you at the MRFF for taking the load off of us and onto you to get the right thing done here!
