CA Sen. Kamala Harris To Make A Very Interesting Church Appearance…

By Daniel Schultz

…l too. Same for John Lewis, whose congressional district includes downtown Atlanta. Believe me: every black mover and shaker in Atlanta is either going to be at this event or receiving a report on how it went—including how its speakers performed. On one level, I absolutely believe Rev. Andrews: he noticed Sen. Harris, and thought she would be a good match for the celebration. But this absolutely will also be a test run for any further political am…

A Meditation on Shopping and Desire

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…We have an unprecedented access to cheap goods, yet we must recognize that cheap goods are cheaply made. I am not speaking of quality, I am speaking of cheap labor. We must recognize that through the act of shopping, whether it is for an article of clothing, a toy, a pint of strawberries, or even our morning cup of coffee, we participate in a global economy that values profit over people. Disposable goods are made by disposable people, faceless in…

Are Evangelical Films Destined to Leave Secular Audiences Behind?

By Daniel Silliman

…e success either. The opening weekend saw sales of more than $6 million in tickets. That’s the kind of number that will inspire others to try and figure out the formula for the faith-and-family blockbuster. Yet, with the cost of the film reportedly exceeding $30 million, it’s an open question whether or not the Left Behind reboot will get a second installment. The marketing problem of evangelical movies is still, stubbornly, a problem. The general…

The Faith that Faith Produced

By Haroon Moghul

…ou’ll read an excerpt below—has surprised me, too. I wish I could find my airline companion and give him this book, to surprise him, too—in a good way. (I would accept Lakers tickets in lieu of apologies, but I think that particular era is done.) This whole book is a result of a profound evolution, and needs to be seen as such. American Muslims have gone through a lot over the last few decades. We were never the caricature Islamophobes made us ou…

Corporations Have Consciences and Contraceptives Are Cheap: Hobby Lobby at the Supreme Court

By Sarah Posner

…is post about Georgetown Law professor Marty Lederman, who first raised it last year.) In short, contrary to Hobby Lobby’s claims that not offering the coverage would subject it to ruinous fines, the regulation merely imposes a tax. Should a company choose to offer no group health plan at all, it would pay the tax, which, Kagan argued, is less than a cost of a group health plan. What’s more, she argued, even if the company offered higher wages to…

Our Failure To Understand Ferguson: A Cognitive Explanation

By Andrew Aghapour

…te segregation and economic favoritism. When I spoke with Rothstein on the phone, he underscored the long-term effects of this last policy. During the 1940s and 1950s, suburban subdivisions were built in St. Louis, and throughout the country, using federal loans stipulating that no homes be sold to African Americans. Priced at about $125,000 in today’s dollars, these were affordable—with a mortgage—to working class families, black or white. Yet bl…

Will Hate Crime Laws Redeem Us All?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…e who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, understands that there is Atlanta and then there is Georgia. In Atlanta, especially in places like Midtown, walking around holding your partner’s hand was relatively safe. You may get someone making a hateful comment as they drive by, but by and large, no one gave you a second glance. Where my partner and I lived however was not Midtown Atlanta, even though it was the hamlet made famous in the film…

The Contested Religious Powers of Baseball on Display in Cuba

By Sean O'Neil

…a is a believer in that legacy. But the power of sports to produce heightened emotional states of unity, which scholars call “collective effervescence,” can also give it a shared power with religion to occlude injustice in this world, to bury it in cheap, playful sentiment. Sports, like religion, and like the American Dream, will thus continue to be contested symbolic terrain, where the stakes can prove much more complicated than zero-sum games, a…

Mormon Women Knock at the Door, Are Turned Away

By Holly Welker

…walked to the Tabernacle on Temple Square to wait in the stand-by line for last-minute tickets. Instead they were met by church spokesperson Ruth Todd, who said, “This is no surprise to you, that we won’t be able to offer you a ticket or a place.” Then, as men and boys strode past them into the Tabernacle where they awaited the opportunity to move to the Conference Center where the session would take place, members of Ordain Women lined up indivi…

In fact, an estimated 1,500 houseless people are said to live in tunnels beneath Las Vegas, but those whom a pair of Swiss journalists encountered were mostly White people suffering from profound addiction. America First, except when it comes to MAGA’s fever…
