Of Sports and Social Justice: An Interview with Rebecca Alpert

By Susan Henking

…rginal. Perspective is, indeed, everything. What do you see as the biggest changes in the last decade, and how do they affect your view of your earlier work? Since 1997 the Queer community has experienced a total sea change in the religious and secular worlds; a level of acceptance that was unimaginable then. I give the liberal Jewish community a lot of credit for responding openly and wholeheartedly to the first generation of lesbian rabbis and t…

Seattle ‘CultureMaker’ Nathan Marion: We Need New Abbeys in America to Foster Community, Arts

By Jesse James DeConto

…we’re here on this planet with other humans, not just ourselves, with headphones, watching Netflix all day. “A change in attitude seems to be occurring around the country. I don’t have a lot of time or energy to convince people that they should stop being selfish with their buildings. People come to me, and they get that already. They realize this building could be used in a lot of other ways.” ~ Nathan Marion Netflix binging is our top competito…

The Jersey Shores of Tripoli: MTV and Arab Revolution

By Haroon Moghul

…hat their regimes, and their societies, facing myriad problems, could ever change. They would believe that white folks were somehow just superior. And then they watch some guy punch Snooki in the face, and they know in their heart: Yes, we can, too. The magic power of white culture is taken away, revealed to be human, the product of historical events and decisions, and thus susceptible to change, transformation, failures and successes. Just like a…

White Nationalist Ideology Shines Through at Elite MAGA Conference: Inside NatCon Part II

By Ben Lorber

…mass immigration could “be distressing” for Americans who see “their towns change or their schools change,” and could “threaten our prosperity” as a nation, which “depends on our founding institutions” and on “people running them who are supportive culturally of those institutions.” The logic of this argument, while bluntly xenophobic on its own terms, is also tellingly close to “race realism,” the pseudoscientific claim, beloved by the white nati…

RDPulpit: No Time for Lukewarm Economic Reform

By Peter Laarman

…centrists, I have concluded, is not their sheer windbaggery but the small-change nature of what they have in mind in relation to the big-change agenda that the predator class was able to push through during the past four decades. I mean, really: those guys played for keeps and still do play for keeps. During their triumphant ride in the policy saddle—roughly from 1975 up until right now—they managed to convince an awful lot of people that a retur…

Will This Relic Change Our Whole View of Early American History?

By Ed Simon

…ay have been celebrated at Jamestown is indeed interesting, but it doesn’t change the fact that the very first American masses were celebrated by Spanish colonists more than a century before, and that indeed the first Protestant services were not held by the English but by French Huguenots in 1564 at Fort Caroline (today St. Augustine Florida). In understanding the complexity of early American religion one also needs to take into account the prese…

Religious Freedom in Post-Castro Cuba

By Lygia Navarro

…ne can profess their religion.’ People—even if it’s favorable—have fear of change.” Change on the Horizon Change is a word on the lips of millions across the island. With Fidel Castro’s handover of the Communist Party throne to his brother last month, however, came little indication of plans to alter the nation’s status quo. Instead, Cubans are left searching for hints in Raul’s speeches and the state-run media: will salaries rise to a livable wag…

Some Good Old Fraud, for a Change

By Arri Eisen

…in Switzerland, killing with anthrax in the U.S.—it’s nice to hear, for a change, about scientists merely perpetrating some good old, genuine, down-to-earth fraud. Seriously, though, David Goodstein’s new book from Princeton University Press, On Fact and Fraud: Cautionary Tales from the Front Lines of Science, is refreshing and entertaining, a welcome balance to journalistic flash and National Enquirer-like headlines. I knew I’d like this book wh…

“I Will Leave BSA if Discriminatory Policy Does Not Change.”

By Joanna Brooks

…gings, but I knew some of them were kind people and would accept my worldview. Others were not as kind, and for that reason I think attitudes have to change. This can be a hateful subject with some Mormon youth and leaders….
