By Robert Repino

…he anti-abortion advocates who claim to support widening the social safety net, even as their plans seem to lack some key details; Savannah Jacobson of Slate.com has criticized the New York Times for amplifying the voices and overstating the charitable efforts of anti-choice activists; and RD’s Mary E. Hunt has called out the Catholic bishops who, after a post-Dobbs victory lap, released a statement touting their work to support pregnant people. M…

By Frederick Clarkson

…was so controversial that the far right news site that published it, World Net Daily quickly took it down (though it appears to have been quietly reposted at some point).

By Max Zahn

…rs join the fight for more robust labor laws and an expanded social safety net, their efforts to combat the cycle of tech-induced desire will fall short. Eyal is right to invoke zombie movies but, in defending the ethics of his work, he prematurely crowns everyday people victorious in their battle against technology. “We are like the heroes in a zombie film,” he wrote. “Threatened but ultimately more powerful.” The ongoing explosion of smartphone…

WaPo OpEd: Pope Francis and the Koch Bros Love and Serve the Poor Together

By Patricia Miller

…to love the poor is to dismantle inefficient, big government social safety net programs like welfare that “undermine human dignity” and encourage “dependency” and devolve them to local programs and governments who will “reform” them to give the poor a dose of the tough love they need to get off their keisters and get a job. The Kochs must really, really love the poor, because among the ways that Freedom Partners has sought to help them out is by f…

Worried About Inequality After the Pandemic? Start By Listening to the Women Ringing the Alarm for Decades

By Liz Theoharis

…ney to individuals for the development of a strong universal social safety net. The attacks on welfare over the past six decades, under both Democratic and Republican administrations, have identified welfare recipients as the problem in need of fixing, obscuring systems that produce their poverty. Couched in religious language, these narratives have used racism and sexism to demonize, isolate, and divide the poor—hiding the fact that the condition…

By Sarah Posner

…sted in the culture wars, and more interested in helping others and the planet. She argues that “where there was once the appearance of a monovocal evangelicalism there is now robust polyphony,” along with changes in activism that have “re-routed the flow of evangelical money, time, and energy, and are changing the demands on the US political system.” On that last point, at least, we have yet to see much, if any, concrete evidence. Take the recent…

By Sarah Posner

…go in there,” Senyonga screamed, “and grab as many as we can!” In Austin, networks of pastors pray for the city’s revival as well, and part of that prayer takes place at crisis pregnancy centers.

Taking the Economy Back From the Elites: Blessed Are the Organized

By Nathan Schneider

…e deterioration of organizational strength elsewhere in society. So it’s a net loss. Another very significant factor is that a large proportion of the underclass is either in prison or undocumented—and therefore disenfranchised. Do you think that any kind of spiritual awakening—or religious awakening, since people so often distinguish the two—is requisite for grassroots organizing? The book’s last chapter discusses a couple of passages in Walden w…

The Right Wing Bible and the Politics of Impotence

By Christopher B. Hays

…the recent economic crises from many quarters has been to slash the safety net that keeps such inequalities from being even worse. Any American could worry about these problems, but being the parent of two preschool-age children brings the questions home in a special way: How is America really doing? And specifically, how are we doing at raising generations who see problems clearly and have the guts to take a stand? Kids are growing up in sch…

That Not-So-Mystifying Rick Warren

By Sarah Posner

…cal opponents of economic regulation and a government-funded social safety net is no surprise. The real shocker is not that Warren — an avowed theological and political conservative — would say this. The real issue here is that at one time President (then candidate) Obama praised Warren as a model of a Christian, a great leader working to eradicate poverty and HIV/AIDS. That was the Obama dreamily campaigning on a message of worshipping the same G…
