…serious danger to women and trans men, were introduced by Herndon. In her phone interview with RD, Abbott brought up the December 22 service as an example of likely illegal political organizing by a tax-exempt church, which she says is one of her biggest concerns.

By Noah Berlatsky

…es. That sounds like a dream of heaven—but it could also be an alternative tagline for Doctor Strange. Zero K alternately mocks and hopes for a better, more meaningful world, where limits are conquered and spiritual truths fall gently like clumps of yak hair. And that better, more meaningful world, mocked or hoped for, is couched, again and again, in terms of a half-acknowledged Eastern mysticism. “I recall the taxi driver kneeling in the gutter s…

By Daniel Schultz

…lues, even assuming those values are communicated effectively with a quick tagline. And remember, fighting over labels is completely useless. It’s no better being a Matthew 5 Christian than an Isaiah 11. What to do, then? Well, looking for Rawls’ “overlapping consensus” is a good start. There’s a decent argument to be made that who we are as political creatures is better expressed by the positions we agree to than the labels we carry. In reaching…
