The Heart of Texas Ain’t Hateful: An Open Letter to Lawmakers From a Texan Trans Queer Latinx

By Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

…try that picked me up every week for Sunday School and worship service. In San Antonio, I was reminded of the power of community when neighbors, loved ones, and strangers stopped by to see how we were doing—just because. And in college, I experienced welcome through a wide variety of student ministry programs. My teachers at Hardin-Simmons University taught me that my own pursuit of what is right stems from a deep-seated sense of awareness of diff…

Sex, the Body, the World: It’s R. Crumb’s Bible Now

By Naomi Seidman

…oween night in San Francisco—Michael Jackson on the MUNI bus, Barbara Streisand teetering on four-inch heels at Starbucks—was this one: comix artist Robert Crumb onstage at the San Francisco Jewish Community Center, headlining the Jewish Book Fest at its sold-out opening event. Basically it was the usual Jewish Bay Area crowd, coming out in droves for Crumb, who had apparently become an honorary member of the tribe by illustrating that tribal book…

The Law-less Legacy of Global Capital

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…arnival in 1729, and died on March 21 of that year. He was buried first at San Geminiano, but his remains were moved to San Moisè in 1808, where an inscribed white marble stone marks the spot. For by then, even John Law was no longer substance, but rather a strange mixture of function, fame and fury. I have deliberately resisted the temptation to underline the parallels between Law’s story and our own time too crudely; I trust that the way I have…

The Three Qualities Marking the Capitol Assault as Terrorism

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…35-year-old woman, Ashli Babbitt, had flown to Washington from her home in San Diego at the behest of Donald Trump who urged his supporters to interfere with the electoral vote tally. She had served for twelve years, including being a security guard for US Air Force bases, and had risen to the rank of Senior Airman. Her husband, who remained in San Diego, described her as an enthusiastic supporter of the President, but not emotionally unstable. Li…

Gay and Lesbian Candidates Win Primary Victories

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…will “become the state’s second openly lesbian District Attorney, joining San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, a Republican who is unopposed in her reelection bid.” Perhaps the most surprising advancement came from Victoria Kolakowski, a transgender lawyer who has made it to the general election in her bid to become a Superior Court Judge in Alameda County, California. On her campaign website she’s very open about being transgender and not…

Act, Pray, Tweet: What the H*ll To Do About Gun Violence?

By Marcia Pally

…needy, stranger, and enemy. It calls murder a sin and crime, and provides sanctions (along with requirements for fairness and witness testimony in trials), just as it gives detailed instructions on aiding the downtrodden. Indeed, the idea that humanity only pray and wait for divine action would exempt us for any moral accountability for our communities. As long as I’m not the perp, such logic would go, I can fiddle—and pray—while San Bernadino bu…

Amid Growing Legitimacy Challenges from its Right and Left, Vatican Seizes Control of the Supernatural — to Prevent ‘Abuses’

By Emma Cieslik

…pope. In fact, the updated Vatican guidance comes just three months after San Antonio priest Father John Mary Foster claimed he received three prophetic messages directly from God stating that Francis is a “usurper,” and that left-leaning Church leadership is a sign, as Galassini argues, of the End Times. In God’s second message, titled Time to Join My Army—A Call to Priests and Bishops, God told Foster that: You have not only let the smoke of Sa…

I Know Why a Rain Dance Won’t End The Drought

By Johnny P. Flynn

…t to the west moves east to encounter the Coconino Plateau (7000’) and the San Francisco Peaks (13,000’+) the hot air off the desert and the cool air of the high mountains cause thunderstorms to form. These storms move from the southwest to the northeast right toward the Hopi reservation in north-central Arizona. The weather pattern, called the ‘monsoon’ in Arizona, is predictable (monsoon actually comes from the Arabic word for season). Arizona’s…

McCain’s Prosperity Preacher

By Sarah Posner

…of that God-given message. As one former Hagee follower told me, when the San Antonio Express-News published an exposé of Hagee’s excessive compensation in 2003, she read the article but “would not look at his tax returns. Out of respect to him. And I wrote the reporter a scathing letter, telling her—I invited her to church—to tell her how wrong she was.” Because churches are not required by the Internal Revenue Service to file tax returns, and n…

A Third Reconstruction? Rev. William Barber Lifts the Trumpet

By Peter Laarman

…st attack in American history was the series of race riots that killed thousands of black people from Springfield to Tulsa to Wilmington in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Yes, San Bernadino was terrorism. So was Mother Emmanuel AME. So are the drone attacks on civilian homes in Afghanistan. So is the carpet-bombing of cities. We must not forget that the key leaders of Daesh met and developed their agenda in the U.S.-run prison at Camp Bucca in Ir…
