INSIGHT

State-Level Work Drives Election Integrity

Toxic Empathy

How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion

Allie Beth Stuckey

In 'Toxic Empathy', Allie Beth Stuckey explores how progressives exploit Christian compassion by using empathy as a tool of manipulation. She delves into five heated issues: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Stuckey argues that progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspectives as empathetic, while ignoring the other side of the moral equation. The book is about submitting empathy to God’s definitions of love, goodness, and justice, equipping Christians with research-backed, Biblical truths to dismantle progressive lies that have permeated culture and the church.

Allie sits down with Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, for a powerful, no-holds-barred conversation on the radical transformation of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. Dhillon reveals how the division is now enforcing civil rights laws for all Americans — not just select groups — dismantling DEI discrimination, investigating attacks on houses of worship, defending religious liberty in prisons, protecting girls’ sports under Title IX, and challenging states defying federal law on voting integrity and more. From reversing Biden-era weaponization to opening probes into anti-Christian and anti-Jewish bias, she explains the shift from activist lawfare to impartial justice. Plus get some insight into knitting — a favorite hobby of Harmeet's.
