I often find it helpful in challenging entrenched theological perspectives, with the hopes of getting folks to consider wider narratives. I'm certainly guilty of putting too much weight on possible alternative interpretations, but I still think it's a useful way of clarifying gospel proclamation.

‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’ Review: Forgive Them, Father

I cannot say I was expecting the new KNIVES OUT movie to be about how charismatic religious leaders who care only about power and division ruin everything, but here we are!

ICE Agent, 7-Year-Old Both Wearing Same ‘Military Commando’ Halloween Costume

ICE Agent, 7-Year-Old Both Wearing Same ‘Military Commando’ Halloween Costume

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer. Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back. One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground. All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb. "I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

All else aside... it's hard to believe that no one considered the optics of tearing down the White House like this. Christ. What a photo.

The energy of those arriving at and departing from the Las Vegas airport is vastly different.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Excited that over the counter pain meds are now politicized. Enjoy your dumb headaches, nerds.

Lily's empathetic thoughts about how their mom was radicalized blow me away.

Forgetting everything else... What a nightmare to have *this guy* speak at your funeral. No one deserves that.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

The music from this scene will forever move me.

"...somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly."

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here...

With the Trump Administration about to roll its ugly occupation into Chicago, I wanted to write a little lyrical love letter to the city. dansinker.com/posts/202…

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."
