My professor’s lecture on reading Ecclesiastes in an age of empire with “there is nothing new under the sun” felt very appropriate today.
So, remember that Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire that told priests to get their wills in order because “we are entering a new era of martyrdom"?
I ran across historical precedent for that today.
It's from a radio transcript @rns.org produced about a Lutheran bishop in Denmark…
…in 1943.

Final takeaway: be nice to your publicist 🫶
There’s invisible work happening behind the scenes, and trust me, we want the coverage as much as you do. Your wins are our wins. It’s brutally competitive out there (academic books vs. commercial everything + everyone’s phone). We’re on your team :)

A lot of new nuggets in here, including the context in which ICE arrested a 5-year-old U.S. citizen and deported her to Honduras: Austin’s police chief says the girl’s mom called cops after a man she had an expired restraining order against showed up at their home.

One thing that gave me hope today was seeing flyers in the lobby of our vet’s office with immigration resources. Over the past few months as I’ve visited local bakeries, my favorite comic shop, sports bar, library, church, and now the vet, I have seen whistles and resources for community organizing.
