Goodbye ‘Roe,’ Hello Violence and an Out-of-Control Judiciary

By Andrew L. Seidel

…less transparency than normal. In just the last year the Supreme Court has used the shadow docket to overturn Roe v. Wade, reinstitute the cruel “Remain in Mexico” policy, kill the eviction moratorium, and gut public health orders under the guise of “religious freedom.” It did all of that without full briefing, oral argument, or transparency. This is not just about Roe. They’re coming for contraception, too, as we pointed out here months ago. But…

Reclaiming My Time: Maxine Waters, the Sabbath and the High Holy Days

By J. Dana Trent

…catastrophic hurricane season, to say nothing of the deadly earthquakes in Mexico or numerous tragic conflicts across the globe. “Our time is limited and we should be sparing with how we use it, so as to not waste it, but to prioritize what is important,” Kissileff says. “It sets the tone for the whole year.” It’s unlikely that Heschel would have been surprised by impact of Waters’ mantra, though he might chime in: Tishrei 2017 is a reclaiming of…

If Bad-Ass Nuns Ruled the World

By Jo Piazza

…that one of our designers found this incredible picture of a young nun in Mexico up on the top of this mountain that we literally all sighed together and said: “That’s the one!” Is there a book out there you wish you had written? Which one? Why? I am a huge fan of Nick Kristof’s Half the Sky and I thought about the book a lot while I was writing. In the same way that he took women’s stories from around the world and used them to narrate a specifi…

National Day of Prayer for Gulf Communities

By Lauri Lebo

…ganization’s suggested prayer is “Give us the wisdom to end this tragedy.” I support that sentiment, especially when it’s accompanied by action. While BP may have stopped the implosion of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, the overwhelming amount of destruction has not gone away. An extraordinary amount of cleanup work remains. For more information on the event or to find a participating church, go here….

The Lady Vanishes: Trump’s Communications Team Tries to Topple a Monument

By Spencer Dew

…(because, America) and as a superhero whose torch fires energy beams (because, America!). She’s used to the limelight and unaccustomed to losing confrontations in the US media. So it was further bad news for the beleaguered Trump administration when it found itself in a fight with public beliefs about the statue last week. At a briefing touting a new bill restricting immigration, CNN’s Jim Acosta asked how the bill fit with “American tradition,”…

Gulf Oil Spill May be “Act of God”

By Johnny P. Flynn

…roughnecks. Why? Because coal is bad but can be “cleaned” up for continued use. But oil, well, it is holy, holy oil, used to anoint the forehead of our American standard of living which increasingly demands wars and lives by the hundreds of thousands to be sacrificed for that lifestyle. From the Gulf of Mexico to the Persian Gulf, from oilfield roughnecks to oil-soaked wildlife, each time we fill up our gas tanks, each of us shares responsibility…

Global LGBT Recap:Culture War Exports, Mob Violence and Kidnapping as Weapon of Homophobia

By Peter Montgomery

…against laws criminalizing homosexuality. The project encourages Twitter users to use the hashtag #PopeSpeakOut to ask Pope Francis to condemn laws in Nigeria, Russia, Uganda, India, and Jamaica, places that “legislate and enforce death dealing policies and/or the suspension of civil rights based on sexual orientation or gender identity,” according to the campaign’s website. “By sending tweets to the pope, we want to move him to speak out agains…

Anonymous Utah Group Distributes Vigilante “Illegal Immigrant” Watchlist

By Joanna Brooks

…uly 24, 1847, Utah did not yet belong to the United States: it belonged to Mexico. Were our pioneer ancestors illegal immigrants? And for those of us Mormons who like Joseph Smith himself have deep ancestral roots in New England and other early British North American colonies, were our colonist ancestors honoring the laws of host indigenous nations when they migrated to North America and occupied and expropriated indigenous land? Mormons—Anglo, La…

The “Gay” Princess Di Bible

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…t the anti-gay people say. There are six or so verses that arguably can be used to “condemn” gay and lesbian people but the bottom line for every verse used is that what is condemned is some form of abusive sex. There is absolutely no condemnation for loving, committed, gay and lesbian relationships within the pages of the Bible. Many have even argued that there are sympathetic portrayals of gay and lesbian relationships in the form of Jonathan an…

All Candy, No Jesus: Halloween in America

By Mary Valle

…is Hari-Krishna temple that I used instead. My roommates found no end of amusement in this; they kept stealing it to use as a letter opener. (They also didn’t seem to realize that the athame was a tool, not a god.) I don’t hold that against them, though; they were jackasses, but I knew that when I moved in with them. He continued: I had a boss once who, although he was a hard-drinkin’, threesome-havin’, warmongerin’ kind of guy, was also very, ver…
