4 (or 5) American Muslims For Ben Carson to Interrogate

…Donald Trump has mocked women, maligned Mexicans and insulted many fellow Republicans. Ted Cruz has criticized gay rights activists. Scott Walker, unions. Jeb Bush, Asian Americans. It’s been a nasty campaign and it’s only just begun. But so far, Carson and Carson alone pronounced on what a whole group of Americans aren’t qualified to do: Be President. (I suppose, since we American Muslims aren’t loyal Americans, Vice-President and, to be safe, S…

An Interview with Rep. Jamie Raskin on the Feminist and Abolitionist Founder Who Has Slipped into a Memory Hole

…e paragraph Rep. Raskin quoted at the Summit for Religious Freedom in April 2024—think of what it must have been like to read or hear those words in the bleak winter of December 1776. The American people needed a victory on which to pin the last shreds of their hope. They needed a win. General Washington had Paine’s words read aloud to his soldiers on Christmas night before they crossed the Delaware River and routed the British and Hessians at Tre…

…nds of bills that have been introduced and sponsored almost exclusively by Republicans. These include academic gag orders that affect higher education, often known as anti-CRT or divisive concepts bills. Probably the best-known is the “Stop Woke Act” in Florida. These bills, which came out in 2021 in direct response to the Black Lives Matter protests, copy-paste large parts of Trump’s Executive Order 13950 which banned trainings around racial ster…

America Appears to be Heading for a Religious Civil War

…during his speech at this year’s CPAC conference as a means of framing the 2024 presidential election. Add to all this the tumult that America has endured over the past decade—an unprecedented global pandemic, a border crisis, an increase in overt and often violent racism, an insurrection, an opioid epidemic, multiple presidential impeachments, the overturn of Roe v. Wade, increasing fallout from climate change—and the fact that the United States…

…nd them in the donor comments. Some of the comments mention Trump, who has promoted the occupation and attacked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau among others. And unsurprisingly, those comments contain violent rhetoric. One donor from Williamsburg, Virginia, writes (at times cryptically); “Trump won. F Hide Biden! F TruDope! All dictators & Traitors will get what they deserve. Praise the Lord.” Most of the others are some variation on “Trump won” or…

What do the January 6 Commission, Covid Deaths and Gun Massacres All Have in Common? God’s Chosen

…morally or patriotically. They’re trying to extract an advantage that the Republicans would never give up voluntarily. If the Republicans agreed to a commission, the Democrats would win, which would be intolerable from a party that’s supposed to lose, because God’s chosen always win.

A Comedy Writer Confronts ‘Mind-Shredding Evil’ in Uganda

Kony’s power over his victims is derived in part by his claim to be inhabited by spirits, including one that had jumped to him from Alice Lakwena (a kind of Joan of Arc figure), who led an unsuccessful rebellion against Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni in 1987.

Of course our official founders—those rich white men in wigs—chose to euphemize and sanitize what they knew full well would ultimately threaten the stability of their perfect machine: the unspeakable violence they authorized within the system of chattel slavery they wrote right in…

Religion as a Front for Tyranny: A Roundtable on the Timeliness of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale”

…ws and members of minority religions. Sarah Jones’ take on this in The New Republic was interesting because Jones has experienced fundamentalist evangelical culture from within, whereas someone like myself, who comes from a liberal/progressive Catholic background, has always had the freedom to walk out on a misogynistic homily or write about church sexism. So that’s my own privilege-filter speaking when I say that I don’t see America going full-At…
