Any takers for a Zoom guest lecture?
Any doctoral student or early career scholar want to give an online guest lecture on Marcion (preferably) or second century Christianity (but not gnosticism) more broadly?
I think I can offer you a $100 stipend for a 45 minute talk. Needs to be MWF 10-1050.

It's infuriating how stupid these people are. The agency is a federal armed paramilitary occupying a whole city! Police not wearing masks and having body cameras hasn't stopped them from being abusive to the point of killing, why would that be your benchmark? More people will die with these reforms.

Know the Redescribing Christian Origins program unit in SBL? We have partnered with them for years to co-sponsor a panel at the annual meeting. Look out for a CFP for this year's shared panel soon, which will focus on studying and teaching religion under authoritarian regimes.

There shouldn’t be a Department of Homeland Security. It’s a grab bag of various agencies under a dangerously murky heading which can and now has been co-opted for a fascist transition.
Abolish ICE and redistribute the other agencies.

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
