Egyptian Riot Grrls: Finding the Feminine Face of Fury

By Beenish Ahmed

…This has led Mike Giglio, a correspondent for The Daily Beast, to dub this latest round of civil uprising in Egypt the Purity Protests. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote recently of his own experiences in Tahrir Square where two bold sisters confronted pro-government thugs, even as male protesters balked before the blades and clubs Mubarak’s hired men have been carrying to cut the mass movement down to size. Rallying a cry against…

What Will the #NeverTrump Faction Do Now?

By Neil J. Young

…16-point loss to Donald Trump in this week’s Indiana primary was just the latest surprise in one of the most unpredictable election seasons in recent history. Cruz had promised to stay in the race until the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer, offering himself as the alternative candidate for conventioneers to pick should Trump end the primary season short of the necessary 1,237 delegates. But Cruz couldn’t keep his campaign a…

Are Colored Eggs More
Easter-y than Cesar Chavez?

By Peter Anthony Mena

…anti-Christ. To some conservative Christians, Google’s iconography is the latest in an ongoing attack on their faith. In a post on Townhall.com titled “Ponder Christian Soldiers Google’s Smirking War On You,” Colorado State Senator Shawn Mitchell decries the choice of a Chávez “doodle”: “Sure, no Christian was mocked, defamed, arrested, or persecuted. And heaven forbid any believer needs internet graphics to help bolster their faith. But hundreds…

Beck’s Road to Jerusalem

By Anthea Butler

…not Lincoln and King, like he did on the National Mall, but Moses. Beck’s latest venture is sure to draw a variety of Christian Zionists, his own supporters, and assorted end-timers, who all may get more of a show than they bargained for. Beck’s statement, “I’ve been asked to stand in Jerusalem” suggests that he may be conflating his role with that of the two witnesses of Revelation 11:3: “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will…

AR-15 Lapel Pins are More Than Political Provocation — They’re Symbols of the Violence at the Heart of White Christian Nationalism

By Annika Brockschmidt

…in Parkland, Florida in 2018, to name two of the most high profile. These latest AR-15-themed antics by elected Republicans also highlight one of the few things the modern GOP stands for: performative cruelty. Anything to “trigger the libs” will do, including re-traumatizing the victims of school shootings. Remember Marjorie Taylor Greene harassing Stoneman Douglas survivor David Hogg (whom she’d previously called “#littleHitler”) when he was in…

I Don’t Want a “Plutonic” Relationship

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…f the larger dilemma facing LGBT people in both church and society. In the latest issue of Atlantic Monthly, Paul Elie writes an excellent piece on the schism threatening to tear apart the Anglican Church over the ordination of gay bishop V. Gene Robinson in the Episcopal Church. The article is a portrait of Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his unenviable struggle to keep the church together amidst the widening rift. Williams was…

The GOP Primary Capsule, Countown Four Days to the Rapture

By Sarah Posner

…, but not too much. Already Iowa voters are turning on Newt Gingrich — the latest viral video is an Iowan, angry about Gingrich’s criticism of Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan (something Gingrich has since spinelessly walked back from). The voter tells Gingrich, “Why don’t you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?” That’s obviously never been a consideration for Gingrich. Speaking of not being able to stop himself, Gingrich plans more repent…

Sarah Palin and the Politics of Victimization

By Randall Balmer

…the while keeping abreast of Antonin Scalia’s dissenting opinions and the latest from University of Chicago economist Luigi Zingales? (The book tosses out these references with an air of insouciance, as in “I came across a wonderful book…”) Perhaps Palin herself is, in fact, conversant with these sources, and, if so, more power to her. But we should probably remind ourselves that this is the same person who, during the 2008 presidential campaign,…

Donald Trump visits a black church. It goes about as well as you would expect.

By Daniel Schultz

…repared remarks to begin with. Add all of that in with some cards with the latest attack lines on them and no intuitive sense of how to behave in a church, and the result is disaster. Rev. Timmons shares a bit of the blame, to be honest. You might think that a candidate wouldn’t bash a rival in a speech at a church about sharing water, but Donald Trump, as has been pointed out so many times before, is not exactly like any other candidate. And if y…

The Anti-Trans Hate Machine’s Conspiracies Don’t Stop at the US Border

By Annika Brockschmidt

…tical left and center behind their hatred of trans people. It’s merely the latest “wedge issue” the Right has sought to exploit—so far quite effectively—in order to radicalize people and recruit more to their hateful cause. Die Welt, owned by the Springer publishing house which recently acquired Politico, faced a fierce backlash and later changed some of the wording of the headline—though claims of a shadowy trans lobby, with its clearly antisemit…
