Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!”
“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

We went to Xmas Eve svc at our former Evang church in Stillwater. The new pastor said Jesus isn't what WE want Him to be, he doesn't align with your politics to own the Libs. I gasped! It was HUGE! @profsamperry.bsky.social @andrew-whitehead.bsky.social

University administrations are really comfortable overturning internal processes to aid the far right, both because they are terrified of them and also because the far right has captured so many state legislatures that they can, in fact, kill the universities if they don't.

Ok, I don't usually do this, but the Molly Worthen piece on Christian Nationalism in the NYT? Apologetics.
I'm on Xmas break and I don't feel like wasting my time breaking this down but let me just say this: WHO IS WE? Because some of us get Christian Nationalism, the NAR, and Dominionism.

Something I talk about in my book Religion for Realists. It's okay to recognize right-wing Christians *are correct* that egalitarian gender arrangements likely contribute to religious decline.
You can disagree with their response strategy (shoring up patriarchal norms), but they're rightly afraid.

What Republicans will learn is no one can out 🍊 this guy. He's the Pied Piper and no one else can play the tune the rats follow.
Trump could win because he gave supporters plausible deniability (to themselves, if not to outsiders). He's putting on a show, messing with the media, trolling the left, that's just the way he talks, seriously but not literally, etc.
Vance's unabashed, creepy white nationalism doesn't have that.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

DEI isn't why you didn't get a job. THERE ARE NO JOBS. YOU DIDN'T GET A JOB BECAUSE THERE ARE NO JOBS. If all the older professors retired? You still wouldn't get a job! Not in the humanities! Because they'll replace at best half of those lines! There will still be no jobs! None!
