The highlighted sentence is what I always try to emphasize to my students. One of our government’s primary purposes is to help keep life predictable. The idea that these cuts will lead to no changes in how life works is foolish. “Don’t assume all the things that work now will still work tomorrow.”

Is the Bible just too big? If you’re evangelical, you’re in luck! Don’t worry about all that “love thy neighbor”, “you fed me when I was hungry”, “rich people don’t go to heaven” crap. I proudly present: The Evangelical Bible, with all the verses you’ll ever need! (Tell me if I missed any!)

This is from Politico. Imagine if we took school shootings this seriously. Think pieces about what a tragedy a CEOs death are will still be coming out long after today’s school shooting in Wisconsin has been forgotten. Because this country cares about rich men and not children. Period.

I can’t get over the contrast between Briana Boston and the McCloskeys. Boston owned no weapon, she popped off on the phone in a heated moment and got charged with a felony, facing 15 years. The McCloskeys got charged with a misdemeanor, pardoned, spoke at the RNC, and became heroes to the right.

@swordsjew.bsky.social I got the last copy today at a local bookstore. Excited for your insights and analysis!

Today’s read: “The Message” by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
