So happy that "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives" is now out in print! With 19 contributors, the book addresses definitions of CN; historical development; intersections with racism, sexism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; and practical ways to address the problem.

That assignment isn't a religious freedom issue. You have to do the assignment. They didn't do the assignment. The feedback was incredibly generous and thorough, much more thorough than the assignment. This is about bending over backwards to the far right, not about religious freedom or anything.

Also, I forgot to say, Routledge is having a Black Friday sale for a few more days, so that might be a good time to pick up On Christian Nationalism, or my other Routledge book, Understanding and Countering Fascist Movements: From Void to Hope (2024)!

My friend @harshawalia.bsky.social was arrested and charged, and another protester was brutalized today in Vancouver at a protest targeting Apple for profiting from death and exploitation in its supply chain. The protesters also called out Apple's support of Friends of the IDF.

Our student theatre group had the bright idea of using actual knives on stage for authenticity. The blade missed my aorta by about a centimetre

The tweet authored by Stephen Miller about "you're not just importing individuals, you're importing societies"
should be a textbook example of how the fallacies of division and of composition (both of which he commits in the same speech act) are signature of bigoted animus.

"This wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't taken funding from counter terrorism" isn't a take supportive of communities at the sharp end of hate and the security state.

This.
Still…this is going to make life hell for so many Afghans who arrived under OAW. The admin just announced that all refugees who arrived under Biden will be interviewed. This makes things much worse for Afghans, many of whom arrived on special immigrant visas bc of their work with the US military…

If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

it's kinda crazy how many Dem governors released statements for TDOR while simultaneously having their hands caught deep in the "complicit in the systemic torture and rape of trans women" jar
While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.
All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.
