By Mark Bergen

…proudly as “The Tea Party Republican.” It’s blazoned all over his campaign website. And his positions follow the now familiar anti-establishment tropes of the Tea Party. His platform centers on his promise to be a one-man state border patrol—keeping government out, and God in. For Howie, the ability for pastors to voice political opinions is a basic Constitutional right. He recorded a video urging good Christians to join him in his “battle for our…

…Heather Cook on the day she was booked for manslaughter stemming from a hit-and-run DUI. In press reports the mug shot generally runs alongside another photo: sometimes a close-up of a bespectacled middle-aged blonde woman, with a clerical collar and dangling earrings framing a wide face and a gap-toothed smile.

By Shannon Trosper Schorey

…dialogue about embodied empathy. It’s nice to think about, but ultimately feels like coming up short. If the topic is abuse, let’s ask better questions. We owe it to the 10 million underserved and understudied women and men who are abused each year. If the topic is simulation theory, what if, instead, we asked about the kinds of work this theory is doing, for whom, and how? What kinds of bodies and minds simulation theory upholds as normative and…
