An Open Letter to CEO Jeff Smisek On United Airlines’ Blasphemous Safety Video

By Austin Dacey

…ed, you may be relieved to know. Perhaps you would agree that in the final analysis, such things are of no concern. No, Mr. Smisek, this message is not the grievance of a disgruntled customer. It is a witness to an abomination. It is a plea for spiritual recompense. In the video message that was played before my last United Airlines flight, you expressed your desire to greet each and every passenger; you invited us to sit back, relax, and enjoy th…

“Frontier Feminist” The Right’s Favorite In Nevada

By Sarah Posner

The Susan B. Anthony List, the anti-choice group that hosted Sarah Palin’s fundraiser speech attempting to redefine feminism, is now endorsing Sharron Angle, who won the Republican Senate primary in Nevada on Tuesday, as a “frontier feminist.” Redefining movements is a specialty of the SBA List, which has distorted its namesake to claim she would have supported its infusion of religion into politics and its anti-choice position. “No one more than…

Mile-High Identity Politics: What We Can Learn From the Same-Sex Seating Controversy

By Eboo Patel

…ecific groups. Women-only, black-only and LGBT-only spaces are a relevant parallel. Such spaces take into account the issues related to certain social identities (the personal) and advocate for a reshaping of the public square to accommodate it (the political). This requires some sacrifice of others. At the very least it means restricting their freedom by not allowing them to enter a certain facility while it is being used by a particular identity…

Our Failure To Understand Ferguson: A Cognitive Explanation

By Andrew Aghapour

…rport we learned that our savvier co-passengers had already filled the Delta flight that was our only alternative. I assumed that the system would somehow take care of us—we had paid good money and followed every rule—until our travel agent called with frantic instructions: “You must make this connection. Bribe two Delta passengers! Pay them each $500 for their seat!” A Delta representative sincerely apologized: they couldn’t facilitate bribery. W…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

By Peter Schwartz

…gal conservatism in the United States. After flying for decades under the radar, the Federalist Society’s role in the selection of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to fill Supreme Court openings during the presidency of Donald Trump elevated its profile, putting it squarely on the media’s map. What’s less well known—by pretty much everyone who isn’t part of the legal conservative movement—is that the Society is also hip-deep in…

Hajj Journal: The Journey Begins and Ends

By Amina Wadud

…l be presenting them sequentially, starting this week.] There are three separate flights for me to arrive in KSA. The first flight, from my home airport, is the departure spot, so saying farewell is emphasized. I don’t like to say goodbye and rarely do I have anyone to see me off. I always feel some finality in this, so I prefer to make any comments about when next I will see a person in the days before departing, then go to the airport alone. Lea…

A New Frontier for Democrats and Religion?

By Sarah Posner

…He even hinted that the public should expect a meeting between President Obama and Pope Francis soon. The Pope Francis moment, even with its hype—perhaps because of its hype—seems to present both Kerry and President Obama with an opportunity to talk about religion on their own terms: as a potential contributor to peacemaking and justice, rather than a battleground for the culture wars. At home, Obama is still the subject of vitriol from the U.S. C…

Gun Ownership as Sin—A Strategic, Secular Proposal for Gun Reform

By Ira Chernus

“We don’t benefit from ignorance.” —President Obama, January 16, 2013, at a press conference on his plan for new gun control legislation When you look at a gun, do you see danger or safety? It all depends on the angle you’re looking from, risk perception experts say. The gun control debate is ultimately a clash of competing worldviews, and it’s very fraught. Each side draws on symbolic narratives—I would call them myths—with deep roots in the…

What Does a Moral Economy Look Like for the 99 Percent?

By Jonathan Rosenblum

…hat inspired you to write Beyond $15? I didn’t start out planning to write a book. I’m a union organizer, and organizing is part teaching—bringing forward the lessons of previous struggles into present fights. When in 2014 I began scribbling down notes that eventually morphed into Beyond $15, I saw myself not as a professional author but as a union organizer engaged in an extension of my work. From 2011-2014, I was fortunate to have been the campa…

Denzel’s Profane Preaching: A Religious Movie for the Rest of Us

By Sean S. O'Neil

…provides a steady stream of f-bombs, and from nearly start to finish it is awash in booze. At one point Don Cheadle’s character, a morally ambiguous lawyer named Hugh Lang, screams out, “Do we have any f**ing grace, here?” Spoiler alert: Yes, we do! Flight is so chock-full with intertextual Christian references, both of the heavy-handed and subtle varieties, that it’s a veritable “Where’s Waldo?” of religious allusions. Pay attention, for instance…
