This Bishop is amazing for the courage she had to do this to their smug faces
WOW! You've got to watch all of this.

A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.

I started rebuilding my relationship with my dad nearly 25 years ago, soon after he had his first grandchild, my niece. I was living in London at the time. We were all going to spend Christmas together, which was often a stressful time with arguments etc. I dreaded it. So I bought him a Santa suit.

My take on all the Trump genuflection:

Once you have convinced yourself you can stay silent on a genocide unfolding live on your phone, you can stay silent/make peace with pretty much anything.

Israel has blown a massive hole in our moral universe and now pretty anything can drive through it.
For @theguardian.com I wrote about how Gaza has split the academic field of genocide studies.

As one scholar put it, “Where can the field stand if scholars from within and around it are unwilling to call the behaviour out?”

My latest.

Those of us researching this have been consumed by this debate, but most of it has been under the radar. Alice Speri has done an excellent job of reporting on the ruptures and getting many on the record.

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh
