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

By Austin Dacey

…ual 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 the flight. If I could greet you now, I would want to know: were you unaware of the monstrosity that was about to follow? There, rising above the hiss of the pressurized air, as the video monitors snapped to the image of an engorged sun bursting from be…

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

By Jonathan Rosenblum

…the community, coaxing them to take on an improbable battle against Alaska Airlines, the Port of Seattle, and the airport corporate establishment. The April rally was our first big campaign test. Would people turn out? They did–850 of them. And the boisterous march, the chants in different languages, the flags of many nations, and the auspicious April sunshine all boosted the community’s confidence and set us on a course to make history. Is there…

Condemnation, Condolences in Wake of Orlando Massacre and More

By Peter Montgomery

…a “compassionate” sentence for homosexuals. Sekaleshfar had lectured near Orlando, Florida in April. Canada: Toronto Unity Mosque celebrates 14th all-inclusive iftar The night before the killing in Orlando, nearly 200 people attended Toronto Unity Mosque’s 14th annual all-inclusive iftar – a meal to break the fast during Ramadan — to which it had invited people “regardless of religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, class, dis…

Mike Huckabee, meet Amy Schumer. And, for that matter, Tony Orlando.

By Sarah Posner

…is like the Holocaust and slavery. For Huckabee, Roe v. Wade is out; Tony Orlando is still in. At Huckabee’s campaign announcement speech today in Hope, Arkansas, Orlando, now 71, performed “Yellow Ribbon,” as well as a song he composed for Huckabee, a hackneyed ode to why he loves America, “our home town.” Huckabee is widely seen as the evangelical’s candidate–not an just an evangelical candidate, but the candidate who speaks to and for evangeli…

Orlando Massacre and ISIS: The Illusion of Power

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…ISIS command did little to plan or conduct them. Is this what happened in Orlando? Thus far, there is no evidence that Omar Mateen has had any connection with ISIS leadership. The ISIS news agency that boasted that he was an “ISIS fighter” did not, however, state that his was an ISIS operation. The agency did not imply that it had been planned and orchestrated by the central command in Syria. Moreover, a gay bar in Orlando, Florida seems like a s…

Pricey Tickets, Cranky Citizens, and Priests Behind Bars as Philadelphia Prepares For Papal Visit

By Anthea Butler

…to continue to shrink into the insularity and disorganization that caused the Philadelphia Archdiocese to decline so precipitously? It remains to be seen. Meanwhile, faithful Catholics and others who want to see the Pope may be losing heart. 10,000 tickets for the Pope’s Speech at Independence Mall sold out in two minutes on Tuesday, with 394k people trying their best to get a few. Tickets are already being scalped at $100 and up on craigslist. I…

After Orlando: Love Wins, But When?

By Daniel Schultz

…dead. If our nation had any self-respect we would declare those killed in Orlando martyrs in the old sense of the word: witnesses before the idols of power and freedom. Remind me sometime to write their requiem mass. No, let the dead bury the dead. The living have their own troubles. We have lost so much to empire and grief. And still, we must bear the unbearable—which is to look upon the faces of dead children and know that our own lives continu…

Sacred Geography: A Queer Latino Theological Response to Orlando

By Xiomara Verenice Cervantes-Gómez

…n bed on Sunday morning, reading the news about the Orlando shooting on my phone. In the wake of the tragedy, I have found myself mostly at a loss for words, stuttering between anger and sadness. I can not fully describe what I was feeling and thinking that morning as I was getting ready to head over to the LA Pride parade—even as news came in of an arrest in Santa Monica, earlier in the day, of a heavily armed man who was supposedly en route to t…

Emanuel’s Pulse: A Plea for Black Church–LGBTIQ Solidarity

By J. Kameron Carter

…This condition awakened me to a dream already testified to: Charleston and Orlando, Emanuel and Pulse, togetherness known through each other. To black Christians I say: you can’t be (rightly) against what happened in Charleston at Emanuel AME and indifferent, quiet or not equally outraged about what happened in Orlando at the Pulse nightclub on “Latin night.” Both are sanctuaries. The communion is ecumenical. It is shared. Emanuel and Pulse. Both…

Post-Orlando, Trump Reveals His Soul

By Daniel Schultz

…rats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart! What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough I have been hitting Obama and Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror. Hillary just broke-said she would now use! So there you have it: Trump’s definition of strength is a crude domination. He’s not satisfied with simply calling f…
