An excerpt from Eliza Griswold’s interview with Reverend Mariann Budde that reads, “Treat people with dignity, be honest, be humble. Care for your neighbors—not only care for your neighbors but care for the stranger. I mean, this is pretty basic spiritual practice.”
If Mariann Budde’s sermon earlier this week—in which she addressed Donald Trump, personally and directly—came across as radical, that just says something about the times we are in, the bishop says.

They never did DEI because they actually cared about structural inequality, they did DEI because it was good for business. But they forget that we are the global majority and if there’s no one to buy their goods or services, they have no business

Of course, Hegseth is unqualified. But describing this as “affirmative action” or “diversity” gets it precisely backwards. White supremacy has *always* promoted unqualified white men over everyone else. This is the *exact opposite* of affirmative action policies designed to end discrimination.

The Long Shadow of the Chinese Exclusion Act
The true cost of the immigration policy can be measured in the generations of Chinese Americans who were never born.
“The legacy of Chinese exclusion lies in the absence—the lost generations or broken bloodlines—of families that might otherwise have been.” Jane Hu writes about the lasting consequences of the Chinese exclusion laws.
