Do Stormy Daniels’ Beliefs in the Paranormal Make Her Unfit to Testify in Lawsuit Against Her Former Attorney?

…ompetently testify.” The document goes on to specify that these claims involve things Daniels has said in interviews about paranormal investigation, psychic practices, and practicing witchcraft. In a June 2021 Facebook post, Daniels replied: “Let me get this straight… They are going to use my religious belie[fs] and profession to discriminate against me…” I should note that Avenatti’s lawyers probably don’t care what her beliefs actually indicate…

Republican Lauren Boebert Jokes About AR-15s and Jesus — And Yes, She’s a ‘Real’ Christian

…-gun Christians “aren’t really Christians” at all. The latest brouhaha involves the clownish Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert, who faces a primary challenge from a state politician with a more respectable image in a contest that will be decided later this month. The American Muckrakers PAC, which infamously released the salacious Madison Cawthorn nude “horseplay” video, is hoping to take Boebert down in the same way they tanked Cawthorn, in…

When Violence is Inevitable: Club Q and the Success of the System

…Both frameworks allow people in power to direct attention away from themselves and the systems they’re building. Climate change and systemic oppression are structural. They require structural solutions. So when exactly should Congress have restricted ownership of assault rifles? Perhaps when the assault rifle ban expired? After Columbine? Sandy Hook? Parkland? Las Vegas? Maybe after a man with a long gun killed 49 people in a queer club in Orland…

AR-15 Lapel Pins are More Than Political Provocation — They’re Symbols of the Violence at the Heart of White Christian Nationalism

…gun enthusiasts, which is not surprising, considering that many see themselves as God’s warriors fighting against the White supremacist “Great Replacement” myth—a myth that has led to calls for a new crusade and for mass shooters to style themselves as modern Knights Templar. There’s no shortage of Crusades-inspired gear available online—from rifles with Bible verses to rosaries made out of bullets. (After spending some time on the website that o…

The Most Forgotten Queer Folks in the US are Fighting Back Against a Powerful — and Publicly Funded — Group That Discriminates With Impunity

…feel no compunction about being openly hostile to students who “put themselves in that situation.” This sentiment is undoubtedly fueled by the Christian supremacism that pervades our society, but I believe it also comes from a place of ignorance that I hope many will be willing to address when presented with the relevant information. On a fundamental level, much of the public may be unaware that the Christian colleges and universities that discri…

Beverly Cleary, Author of the Ramona Series, Understood Children, Shoes, School, Words, and How it Feels to be Heard, or Misunderstood

…hared the New York Times obituary for Beverly Cleary, who died on March 25, 2021. When a friend noted that, to be fair, Cleary had lived to see 104, Jones wrote back: “I know, the cursing is not a rational reaction. STILL.” Beverly Cleary would understand. After promising a quick turn-around on this essay, I went to the shelf, scanning for the Ramona books. I knew exactly where they were. Except they weren’t. They’d been packed up for college. Bec…

Why the Roman Catholic Church Should Not Ordain Women as Deacons

…ough the Synod on Synodality, which was launched by Pope Francis in October 2021. While the document Enlarge the Space of Your Tent notes that the synodal process unearthed a near universal call from around the world for women deacons, it also notes that some parts of the world are also calling for women priests. If both priesthood and the diaconate are officially open for discernment, then why is the discussion about female deacons getting far mo…

We Would Be Wise to Pay Attention to Trump’s Apocalyptic QAnon Posting Spree

…rs. And not because, post-Q, the beliefs have gone away: a PRRI survey from 2021 showed that as many as one in five Americans believes one of the core ideas of QAnon. Maybe it’s because, for the last two years, Trump has been openly embracing the rhetoric of the conspiracy movement. Maybe it’s because post-January 6th, rhetoric scares us less than open coup attempts. Or maybe it’s the fatigue of being told that a bizarre conspiracy theory like QAn…

As Tensions Escalate in the Balkans, the West Could Hand Putin a Valuable Weapon

…polling suggests that only a little more than 1 in 5 Serbs describe themselves as supporters of Putin’s Russia in foreign policy, while half support continuing the Yugoslav-era policy of non-alignment. It’s not support for Russia or Putin which motivates the anti-Western attitude among young Serbs today, but rather a feeling that Serbia was wronged by the West during the Yugoslav War and Kosovo Wars in the 1990s—a wrong that many see as emerging…
