The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run
The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

Journalists, please do not describe what happened at the White House today as a "spat", "heated exchange" or as Zelensky-Trump "going at each other". Zelensky was ambushed by Vance while very calmly explaining why Ukraine needs security guarantees and doesn't trust a ceasefire...

Our legal system cannot function if the govt retaliates — and if courts allow it to retaliate — against lawyers who take matters the govt disfavors.

NEW: President Trump moved Tuesday to punish a law firm for providing pro bono legal services to Jack Smith as he prepared to face a potential investigation from the Trump administration.
He is stripping security clearnces and govt funding from the firm. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isn’t important, you’ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

I've been up all night working on a paper to finish my penultimate semester of seminary (for the foreseeable future), and I need to acknowledge a whole pot of coffee, Rowland S. Howard's discography, and my love for Hebrews for keeping me going.

I was proud to introduce my very own mother Mary as our Advent preacher this morning. Her teaching of Zechariah and Elizabeth was profound.
Here's a compelling reflection: "What God is doing extends the reach of what God has done and it exceeds what has been hoped for."

My band Dark Little Rooms opened up for SMOG on April 14, 2004. Out of Richmond, VA we worked it for 4 years. That night we made $85 (for 3 people, 1 had just left the band). My wife and I had our first child that summer and I decided to quit the band to feed my family.

I’m in a Fantasy Football league (named Goonies Never Say Die) with a bunch of other pastors and am trolling another team (Truffle Shuffle) to submit to my squad (Blue Kool Aid) in hopes that I get to the playoffs. <TRIGGER WARNING>

Some (most) of the Fantasy Football experts (other people with opinions) are way too confident about their boom (bust) picks from week to week. It reminds me of how many of us are attracted to leaders. We want people in our lives to help us go & be what we couldn't by ourselves.
