7 Problems with Trump’s Hastily-Tweeted Trans Military Ban

By Sunnivie Brydum

…5,000 active-duty and reservist members of the U.S. military are categorically unfit to serve. Despite tweeting that he did so “[a]fter consultation with my Generals and military experts” it appears that he did just the opposite, failing to consult with any of the veterans and experts who literally studied this issue for years, and, it appears, without actually consulting the Pentagon. President Trump’s supposed reasoning for issuing the Twitter f…

Christian Nationalism Was the Loser of Tuesday’s Debate

By Chrissy Stroop

…wer, depending on your perspective, is secular Americans. Religion, after all, hardly came up in the raucous affair hosted jointly by CBS News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute in Charleston, SC. As divisive as Sanders is within some sectors of the party, a CBS News Instant Poll found that Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who is nothing if not secular, made the best impression on Democratic voters who watched the debate. He w…

There’s Nothing Wrong with ‘Prayer’; But There’s Every Reason to be Skeptical of Pence’s Coronavirus Prayer Circle

By Chrissy Stroop

A plague is upon us. And white evangelicals, naturally, are on the scene—theologizing the COVID-19 outbreak, praying, scolding, and generally being counterproductive. Unfortunately, the Trump administration’s response is being led by one of them—Vice President Mike Pence, a fellow Hoosier and one who, as governor of Indiana, allowed an HIV outbreak to blow up because his Christian extremist ideology prevented him from adopting sensible policy. Th…

Why the ‘Confession & Redemption’ Path is Unlikely to Help Falwell Recover from Sex Scandal

By Chrissy Stroop

…ty. It also turned out to be the final day of the scandal-prone Jerry Falwell, Jr.’s professional implosion, much to the delight of liberals and moderates on Twitter, who followed the unfolding trainwreck closely all day. Indeed, the exciting conclusion of the Falwell “pool boy” saga upstaged the first day of the Republican National Convention to some extent, at least on political Twitter. https://twitter.com/RobGeorge/status/1297948042218426371?s…

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

By Chrissy Stroop

…ht to own AR-15s. Like they always do. In response, Twitter has lost its collective mind, as offended Christians (and even some non-Christians) bend over backwards to flood the site with impotent and counterproductive declarations that pro-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 i…

Is Criticizing Mitt Romney an Excommunicable Offense? No.

By Joanna Brooks

…rie Goodstein at the New York Times also had a more complicated story to tell than that reported at The Daily Beast. According to Stack, the major precipitant for the disciplinary council was not the essay questioning Romney’s political independence from the Church but rather a Mormonthink.com article that publicly disclosed details from LDS temple ceremonies, an act viewed by observant Mormons as an offense and a desecration. According to Goodste…

Overnight Sensation ‘The Rich Men North of Richmond’ isn’t Just a Window into a Forgotten America — It’s an Invitation into a Worldview

By Bradley Onishi

…understand their struggles, and hope for the future. Anthems are historically full of affirmation and joy. They recount hardship and tragedy—and the ways they were, or will be, overcome. Oliver Anthony’s “The Rich Men North of Richmond” is being called the new anthem of the American Right. The song has gone viral, currently sitting at the top of the Country Music charts. Anthony is an overnight sensation. According to the Los Angeles Times: The F…

Including Bono on Glamour’s “Women of the Year” List is Two Steps Backwards

By Sunnivie Brydum

…isn’t necessarily untrue, it feels almost spiteful to include a man—who will now become the main focus of countless media pieces about Glamour’s list—in an exercise that’s intended to lift up women, especially in a year that has been so marred by unapologetic misogyny from the highest ranks of (at least one) major political party. “When a major male rock star who could do anything at all with his life decides to focus on the rights of women and g…

That Jew Died For You… Dot Com

By Evan Derkacz

…ting from the good people at Jews for Jesus (aka evangelical Christians) called, tastefully enough, “That Jew Died For You.” (Note to self: thatjewdiedforyou.org still available.) It’s like JfJ are PETA now…willing to do anything for publicity. I fully expect them to open a Jesus deli downtown: ThatJewCooksForYou.com As one friend put it: “It’s got potential. Kosher style. Lamb-of-God chops. Wood-smoked bacon.” The upside there is that it’d pit PE…

“Digital Discipline”: Five Questions on #ReLent2016

By Anita Little

…that back. Even “re-ligion” comes from the Latin word for ligaments—basically meaning to bring together again. However, religion has had the opposite effect throughout history, right? Christianity has kind of assumed its role in power structures when it should go back to its genesis—at the edges, at the margins. To recover that original meaning is the goal of this project. What makes Twitter the right platform for this project? The hashtag can al…
