I feel like many of the songs removed could be categorized as “fun historical oddities” that don’t really belong in the Sacred Harp. I’ll miss the “Yes! Yes! Yes”es of Sweet Music.

I’ll look forward to supporting their primary challengers. It’s past time to clean house.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

I think that’s definitely what it is. “Christian” in the way that only evangelicals call each other “Christian,” excluding Catholics, mainline, and Orthodox.

The Vatican appears to have modified its position against gender-affirming surgery and “gender theory” last year, raising the possibility of “exceptional situations.”

Catholic bishops were involved in the institution of slavery from its beginning stages in the American colonial project, going on to last more than 350 years and span the breadth of an eventual empire.

The whole idea behind tariffs, seizing federal records, and strangling federal grants is to create an economy based on “loyalty.” It’s classical oligarchic behavior

One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week.

These aren't strong people. They're very, very weak people. They can be beaten.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

When I was organizing for a parish ministry we’d offer an $150-300 honorarium depending if it was participating in a panel or giving a lecture/talk and $1500-2000 for a two-three talk weekend retreat with accompaniment. $1000 for a single brand new talk outside the academic’s field of expertise.
