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…

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…

Zeitgeist A Blend Of Skepticism, Metaphysical Spirituality, and Conspiracy

By Michael J. Altman

As Sarah noted, Good Morning America reported last week that Jared Loughner had been influenced by the documentary Zeitgeist, a film that depicts Christianity, 9/11, and federal banking as conspiracies meant for social control. Since that report, the internet has been abuzz with attempts to locate Zeitgeist—and Loughner—on either the right or the left. Much of the analysis of Zeitgeist and Loughner has focused on its ideas about an international…

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…

Time is on Our Side

By Amina Wadud

…goes on, because it is one of those places where the women’s entrance is waaaay around the back, next to the trash containers in the darkened areas. I have many thoughts already but let us first go over some of those basic, starting with some of the time factors. The Islamic calendar is still lunar, based on the cycles of the moon. The wax and wanes of the moon are so evident; she was understandably one of the first markers humans used for 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…

Rev. Sun Myung Moon Dead at 92

By Sarah Posner

…saved the souls of Hitler and Stalin—the murderous dictators had been born again through him, he said. In a vision, Moon said the reformed Hitler and Stalin vouched for him, calling him “none other than humanity’s Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent.” To many observers, this bizarre scene would have looked like the apocalypse as depicted in “Left Behind” novels. Moon, 84, the benefactor of conservative foundations like the American Fam…

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…
