A Pence Presidency Would Give Margaret Atwood’s Dystopian Vision a Run for its Money

By Diane Winston

…ates 24/7 surveillance of citizens. Ever since Mike Pence joined the Trump ticket, I’ve been haunted by Duvall’s character. What would that quiet, white, Christian male authority look like in today’s world, and what kind of society would Commander, oops, President Pence seek to build? As Trump’s troubles grow by the hour so does the urgency of these questions. Online and off, the term Christofascism is creeping into conversations. Christofascism,…

More Sex Icon than Feminist

By Kathryn Joyce

…tion in all instances except to save the mother’s life, and has joined the ticket with McCain, a man who has opposed efforts to institute wage equality, saying instead that women need more education and training. This twisting of feminist history and rhetoric to protect a champion of anti-feminist causes, traditionalism and sex-kitten objectification, is particularly unnerving for exactly the reasons that Palin’s biggest supporters claim it is: fo…

The Multi-Faceted Role of Religion in the 2016 Campaign

…Listen to a podcast of the Ticket 2016, during which I talked about religion in the 2016 presidential campaign with Austin, Texas NPR affiliate KUT’s Ben Philpott and the Texas Tribune’s Jay Root:…

Niqab and Short Shorts

By Hussein Rashid

…of protest is to wear the niqab and nothing else. Then, the women will get tickets, not for being nude, but for being clothed. In my opinion, that would show the absolute absurdity of the state trying to control women’s dress. I have written elsewhere that this sort of action, of controlling a woman’s body, is simply male penis worship run amok. These ladies, who call themselves Niqabitches, have done a great service in showing the inherent contra…

Jay Bakker on LGBT Justice and the Demands of Grace

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…as all it took to separate me from God, then I was gonna accept my one-way ticket to hell… Reserve me a seat in the bar car!” It was through the patience and love of his friend D.E. Paulk in Atlanta (whose ministry family suffered its own scandals), that Bakker experienced what he called “a grace evolution.” While Bakker continued to drink and carry on, D.E. simply loved him through it, gently pushing Bakker to return to God. Bakker writes that he…

Untethering Conscience From Religion: An Interview with Louisa Thomas

By Jeremy Kessler

…ty—very slightly—as a man who ran for president six times on the socialist ticket between 1928 and 1948, and who inspired a lot of people. But it’s also about his three brothers, Evan Thomas, the conscientious objector my father wrote about, and Ralph and Arthur, who were soldiers. The book is about their family drama during that time, as each decided what his conscience demanded in these extreme circumstances. All of the brothers were deeply invo…

By Ben Lorber

…emple Mount is not possible…I will submit to you, in light of the support you have in Washington DC, the support you have amongst patriotic Americans, amongst Evangelical Christians, amongst Believers, amongst Republicans even amongst some Democrats…buy the [lottery] ticket, take your action, do what needs to be done here in Israel. Because I truly believe this is a moment where America will have your back. Hegseth’s sweeping command would likely…

Death Penalty, Debated (Dedicated to the Memory of Sarah Horowitz)

By Bill Berkowitz

…t easy for Sarah: She took her meager resources and bought herself a plane ticket. She ignored the hearing problems which made even conversations with family and friends sometimes difficult, and made arrangements over the phone to get herself transported thousands of miles away; arrangements to stay in a state where she knew no one; to find Jews to pray with when the Sabbath came; and to receive her instructions and orders for the campaign. She tr…

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Will Usher In the Trump Era

By Benjamin E. Park

…candidacy, the Church-owned newspaper requested that he step down from the ticket, early polls showed Utah to be a toss-up state, and some observers wondered if the Church could lead the opposition to Trump and his supporters within the Republican Party. Coupled with the rise of Evan McMullin, a conservative candidate from Utah who happens to be Mormon, things looked ripe for political turnover within the state of Utah in general and the Mormon tr…

DNC Zombie Lie Count: 4

There have been many pro-life speakers at Democratic conventions in the intervening years, including last night Robert P. Casey, Jr., himself no slouch in the pro-life department. Good Catholics Can’t Be Democrats, 2 Or so says Bishop Tobin of Providence about Tim Kaine. I did not know that supporting the ordination of women was a “grave sin” demanding excommunicati…
