By A. E. Brooks-Key

…m, Black chosenness has been the vocabulary for African Americans and Anglophone African populations of the Caribbean to express being viewed as full humans. But Andre, you ask, what about the Jews are the seed of Satan and Jewish world domination rhetoric? Isn’t that evidence of Black antisemitism? Rabbi Tamar Manasseh argues that Kyrie Irving and Kanye West (yes, Kanye! His momma called him Kanye, I’m calling him Kanye) have tragically become th…

Hebrew Bible as Lord of the Rings

By Paul Harvey

…d gates of our heroes. The portentuous music, rapid-cut pacing, and nearly nonstop action sequences also resemble the parallel epic tale as told in the recent movie. So does the exclusion of women, who in this miniseries are mostly there as villains (Hagar, Bathsheba, and of course the infamous Delilah) or as virginal princesses awaiting their turn to be given to the hero. At least Lord of the Rings had some female heroes. The Bible does, of cours…

The Sacred and the Dead: How an Iranian-Jewish Angeleno Discovered Her Tribe

By Saba Soomekh

…introduced them to me. I remember sitting in the car and at home listening nonstop to the album. It was the first time music actually spoke to me. The irony, of course, was that the music I was listening to in the 1990 was from the 1970. As a teenager, the popular music of the ’90s—grunge and “alternative” rock—were too dark and depressing for my tastes. I couldn’t relate. The same went for gangsta rap. At Beverly Hills High, most of my classmates…

What Will the #NeverTrump Faction Do Now?

By Neil J. Young

…olina’s transgender bathroom law a centerpiece of his speeches and running nonstop ads that warned Trump would let Caitlyn Jenner use whichever bathroom she wanted in Trump Tower. Cruz’s father, Rafael, joined in, contending Trump’s election “could be the destruction of America.” “I exhort every member of the body of Christ to vote according to the word of God,” Rafael beseeched Indianans, meaning, of course, that they should choose his son. All o…

Gimme Shelter: Queer Space Is Sanctuary

By Kaya Oakes

…erals for AIDS victims. People gathered there to grieve, and the grief was nonstop. Fr. Anthony McGuire, pastor at the time, told Jesuit Fr. Donal Godfrey that “it was harrowing. I used to weep a lot at funerals. There was no break to it. It was one after another after another.” Sanctuaries have a long history in the often bloody struggle for equality in the United States. Gay bars, lesbian bookstores, trans performance spaces, queer owned coffee…

Politics in a Fallen World: Lying, Fact-Checkers, and the Future of Civilization

By Michael Schulson

…5th century court writer] Christine de Pizan, she never said “You just lie nonstop.” You lied for very specific things. It was acceptable for the princess to lie for the sake of the common good. There was this sort of harmony that it was really her job, as Christine envisioned it, to maintain. When we get to contemporary politics, and when we’re thinking about Trump in particular, it’s just not clear to me that he thinks particularly carefully abo…

When the Golden Rule is Used to Silence Dissent and Protect the Politically Powerful

By John Stoehr

…lity and grace.” For four decades, Rush Limbaugh had the biggest media megaphone through which he spat poison every day straight into the ears of 20 million Americans. He lied and lied, and he lied and lied. If there were no Limbaugh, there would be no President Trump, who himself told more than 30,500 lies, falsehoods and misleading claims during four years. Their canon of lies includes lies about the covid pandemic, culminating in a death toll n…

By Elad Nehorai

…ht, including popular mainstream media figures like Tucker Carlson, spread nonstop antisemitic conspiracies about George Soros trying to “end civilization” by controlling the government (a conspiracy that directly contributes to violence), they meet with few or no consequences. When trans people are targeted daily by the Right, there’s hardly a whimper in response. When an insurrection occurs, the Republicans who called it “legitimate political di…

…ciety,” he said. CNN traces the start of the backlash to early 2016 when a number of political leaders began making “unprompted attacks on Indonesia’s LGBT community.” It notes that conservative Islam is a growing political force, evident in the arrest and conviction of Jakarta’s Christian governor on blasphemy charges. The report says human rights activists have been disappointed by President Joko Widodo’s “lackluster” defense of LGBT people. Sal…

Saving Teens from Obama: When Bible Study Goes Wrong

By Vyckie Garrison

…waste American money to buy their expensive oil when we could have our own cheap oil?” “Why is he trying to make rich people poor?” “How is it right to punish rich people for working hard and realizing the American Dream?” It was late on a Friday night and I was tired, so I half-heartedly responded by explaining that there are other factors to consider in every charged question she’d been armed with. But I wondered, “Why the hell was the Salvation…
