By Peter Laarman

…of Secretary Tillerson. He commended Brownback’s early good work on South Sudan’s liberation struggle and on the ongoing plague of human trafficking. Rabbi Saperstein’s insight about the particular situation of global Christians struck me as especially valuable. Based on his experience, he doubts that the persecution of minority Christians in multiple countries is necessarily the most severe case of religious suppression. But he observed to me th…

…ike to enlist a group of prominent Seattle business leaders to join him in promoting an anti-labor Christianity. And these good Jesus people didn’t just meet to pray away unionism; one of their number, a certain Arthur Langlie, went on to use state power to smash unions as mayor of Seattle and then governor of Washington State, declaring at the outset of his rise to power: “I am ready to let God use me!” From the beginning, in other words, the man…

…izens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.” The response to the proposal has been swift; spontaneous protests in support of immigrants and Muslims took place in airports across the nation, advocacy groups (successfully, so far) challenged portions of the order, while public figures like Madeleine Albright vowed to register as a Muslim. The immigration ban on refugees from Muslim-majority coun…

By Sarah Posner

…le in Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, religious freedom in Israel, Sudan, Cuba, and elsewhere, and combatting global poverty. Other popes might have talked about peace and poverty, but Francis’s much-discussed “new tone” seems like a permission slip for Democrats to talk religion without a full scale showdown on culture war issues. That said, there are topics apparently left undiscussed: a new war on LGBT people in Russia, Nigeria, and els…

Electability of Biden is More ‘Conventional’—and Less ‘Wisdom’

By Branko Marcetic

…ed military action in countries as far afield as the former Yugoslavia and Sudan, and was part of the administration that fought the disastrous war in Libya. A social conservative for much of his career, Biden’s record on gay and abortion rights will further alienate the Democratic base, with his sudden, late-stage “evolutions” on these issues already being viewed as opportunistic. Ditto with Biden’s courting of corporate donors and trashing of Me…

…er family reunion arrangements. Finally, an estimated 25,000 Africans from Sudan, Eritrea, and other countries have infiltrated the country via Egypt. Together with Arab Israelis, approximately 30% of the population (inside the Green Line) is not Jewish, similar to Belgium with a 30% Walloon and a 60% Flemish population or pre-1993 Czechoslovakia (54% Czech and 31% Slovak). Israel’s very raison d’etre is to maintain its Jewish exclusivity. David B…

Does the Right Even Know Why it’s so Threatened by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…here people are being ethnically cleansed in places like Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and Rohingya would be even better. We’ve been here before. Silence is complicity—and no matter how the Right or the pop-culture world spin the Swift/Kelce story, it’s all about generating outrage to fill pockets while we ignore and suppress an instinctive human connection we all have deep within us. Maybe there’s an argument to be made that these are simply singers a…
