Meet the Nazis halfway? Let’s spare the children and only send adults to the crematoria? Or feed the concentration inmates on better food and clothe them more decently before exterminating them?

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ted on the Supreme Court. That’s shameful, and belongs near the top of the list of dangerous, un-American shenanigans the GOP has subjected the American people to over the past decade. But let’s not kid ourselves. A Supreme Court with Justice Gorsuch seated is no more deeply conservative than it was with Justice Scalia on the bench.

Progressive & Religious

By Robert P. Jones

…ices will contribute to a healthier public square and a more vibrant, pluralistic democracy in America. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off? If there are two groups I’m taking aim at, it’s the Christian Right that has distorted religion into a partisan agenda on the one hand and the raft of neo-atheist authors that are asserting—largely in (over)reaction to this first group—that “religion poisons everything…
