As a father of a disabled child this one just hurts too much...I hurt so terribly for this father and family
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.

ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

"Trump has managed in just one year to destroy the American order that was, and he has weakened America’s ability to protect its interests in the world that will be. If Americans thought defending the liberal world order was too expensive, wait until they start paying for what comes next."
America vs. the World
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.

I am so disgusted to learn from the NY Times article today about Jonathan Ross that we were both students at Anderson University, a Christian college in Indiana, in 2006...

I acknowledge these are click bait headlines but we need to recover the type of discourse where something can be good/average...and that is ok.

Abuse is a function not an aberration of patriarchal systems. It doesn't always take the form we commonly associate it with but it will take whatever form necessary to structure/maintain power for (certain) men.
There's a reason why the Catholic Church and SBC are at the center of ongoing discourse about church abuse (I mean, their size/influence is another driver). But other denominations are wrestling with the same issues, and it's important for news agencies to explain how/why.

Not to go full Adorno here, but I feel it's part of the issue with contemporary evangelical/non-denominational/Pentecostal Christianity essentially turning a commodity: the amount of Christian AI slop and kitsch on YouTube is the other side of this, and it comes from the same impulse.
There's something just so vulgar about modern evangelical megachurches.

“... we have something called connectionalism, which, in this moment, we are saying means: If you come for one United Methodist, you have come for all of us”

As someone who serves on the BOM for my conference in the UMC, I need to hear this in the polity portion because this is 🔥
NEW: So, the courtroom at the "Broadview 6" arraignment in Chicago yesterday featured lotsa Methodist pastors.

Why? They were supporters of defendant/fellow Methodist Brian Straw.

'The thing is, some leaders are players
And players sometimes can be clowns
And clowns then sometimes can be dangerous
When they’re there and yet they can’t be found
The Big Mac
The big man
The big bomb
The power of money and lies
The power of fear in the people
The wind doesn’t blow this far right'

"We now live in something closer to what we would call a state of generalized psychosis: a social landscape where symbolic authority has fractured, shared reality is unstable, and appeals to common norms routinely fail to hold any weight."

Why Shame No Longer Works in American Politics
While it once played a role in binding society, shame has lost its power—and so have the liberal tools that depend on it.

At some level, I understand that Pat McAfee, Clay Travis and Dave Portnoy are all different people, but I steadfastly refuse to tell them apart because that would involve having to don a welder's mask and sit through some White Hot Sports Takes.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

When this all ends, and it will, there can’t be any olive branches extended, especially for ICE. Accountability, punishment, defunding, and ridicule are the only things that need to be on the menu.

"This is the thing: dooming is itself a liberation from the burden of choice. If everything is ruined forever, if your allies have already forsaken you, if the battle is already lost, you aren't responsible for your choices... Dooming is another escape from the burden of war mindset."
Democrats Must Embrace War Mindset
We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.
