I've read a lot of articles (and been interviewed for several) about Vance Boelter's ties to charismatic Christianity, but this piece by @melissagiragrant.com in @newrepublic.com is the best I've seen so far in sifting the evidence while capturing the nuances.

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

Bishop Mariann is an example to all faith leaders and to all Americans of the value of separation of religion and government. The independence of the church gives space to speak truth of power. We will only become an authoritarian country if we act like we already live in one.

Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.
