There is Another Reason Trump Refuses to Concede the Election

…as named the election as his own, and quite possibly believes this naming will allow him to claim it, with God’s help. He’s merely exercising a faith that can move mountains, a faith bolstered by decades of successfully bullying and litigating his way to success. (And buoyed by the insistence of Christian preachers like White-Cain that his election was God’s will.) https://twitter.com/AntheaButler/status/1326243095948775427 It is, in this light th…

“Let It Be Glorious”: Sunday Night Worship With Chance and Bey at the Grammys

…a radical statement on white Christianity’s recasting of the olive-toned Galilean Semite, drawing parallels between state-sanctioned violence then and now. And if Jesus is metaphorically black, killed by Roman officers, then who else could mothers like Sybrina Fulton or Lesley McSpadden be other than black Madonnas mourning their crucified sons? Beyoncé deftly evokes this in “Lemonade” and furthers the symbolism in her Grammy performance, donning…

Alienating Even the Sadistic Trumpian Right, How Did Kristi Noem Miscalculate So Badly With Her Puppy Killing Story?

…them. Noem was grilled on two CBS news shows over both her stories of animal killing and the lie that she had met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. (She remarks in the book that he underestimated her, “having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”) Noem has since canceled a CNN appearance and has fallen back into what I assume she considers a safe space—right-wing media outlets. B…

The Problem We All Live With: Bearing Witness, But Never Finding Justice

…human lives in general is astoundingly sanctioned by a legal system that fails all of us when black and brown and native lives are taken and no one is responsible.“ Let me be clear, the kind of love I am talking about is not romantic. It is a love forged out of the gospel call to dig deep into our innards and find the spaces of compassion sequestered there, to pull them out into our social and political lives to create a society that values the gr…

What Good Is It for Union to Gain the World, But Forfeit Its Soul?

…dering it in his autobiography as, “Seest thou man vigorous in his vocational calling? He shall stand before kings.” This new capitalist ethic departs from its hedonistic counterparts in that it is not explicitly apathetic and egotistical. It has a form of godliness. In an article in the New York Times’ real estate section a few months ago (in a column devoted to “untold stories of real estate envy, excess and woe”) President Jones was quoted usin…

…in Sitka, Alaska. The opportunity allowed students a peek inside professional illustration, how to approach and research an idea taken from a rough draft, and then how to edit and prepare the illustration for publication while incorporating feedback from the editors of the Cubit. For more on blame, read the introductory post or explore the full series. Dear World, On behalf of the world’s 1.7 billion Muslims, I’d like to say “You’re welcome.” Beca…

Why Go to Church If You Don’t Believe Anymore?

…and the evil, for ourselves. We traverse the hidden corners of the cathedral until we arrive at the last station, number 14, where Jesus is laid in the tomb. From there, we move outside to a garden, where we stand in a circle, the cross gone now, face to face with one another. I am both in the process and outside of it. I believe in something, but not most of this. I hold on because there is some deep comfort and some essential discomfort here. I…

The Agenda in Making John Paul an Insta-Saint

…g his old boss for sainthood practically the moment he shuffled off his moral coil. It’s hard not to read this as a heavy-handed attempt to permanently codify the more controversial decrees of John Paul’s papacy, with its pronouncements that women could never be priests and that homosexuality was intrinsically disordered—which, conveniently, Benedict helped create and then promulgated in his own papacy, which John Paul teed him up for. As Vatican…

Derek Chauvin’s Defense, in Keeping with a Long Racist Tradition, Seeks to Criminalize George Floyd

…acist ideas of presumptive Black criminality, or what Harvard professor, Khal*]}*il Gibran Muhammad calls the “Condemnation of Blackness.” Somehow, the salient issue isn’t that defenseless, unarmed Black people are killed, but that they’re imagined to have a prior history that speaks to an uncivil character. This serves as evidence to exonerate their killers, or, at the very least, to make the jury empathize with the killer, rather than the victim. Re
