O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

Seeing so much uninformed blame on Forest policy blamed for Eaton Fire. Ignorant. Read McPhee’s essay Los Angeles Against the Mountains to get a far better perspective

Formerly enslaved, Anna Julia Cooper earned an MA in math in 1887 & a PhD. Educator, leader, democracy activist, her 1892 book championed women's rights. “The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class - it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.”

I am convinced that one of the most pressing tasks of this moment is to get a 10k foot view rather than get mired solely in the outrage de jour. What 10k reading are you doing?

Jan. 6, 2021 was a tragic day of infamy for America, one of the saddest in our history. You know Trump and his election deniers will intensify their lie that it was patriotic, not a criminal attack by a violent crowd seeking the overturning of our election. We cannot let their lie replace the truth.

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”
Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”
Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”
Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

Deep reading of the Black Christian tradition should be a central focus of American Christian thinkers going forward. Not some ancillary theological detour.
“The Black Christian tradition stands as the ecclesiastical rebuttal to white Christian nationalism. In our attempt to understand the urgency of this moment, we must not only point to what’s wrong but show people a better way.” - Jemar Tisby
