A word of hope from today’s Advent reading:
“A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

Yet another way that my evangelical siblings objectively changed recently.
1. Increasingly ok with cruelty and calling it Christianity.
2. Hypocritical on Clinton’s failures vs. Trump’s.
3. Didn’t start a panic about Trump as the Antichrist.
4. Didn’t start a panic about Mr. Beast as Antichrist.

I’m the parent of an autistic kid. What CDC is doing here is offensive.
It’s offensive to me. It says his autism is the result of my ignoring evidence.
It’s offensive to my kid. It says there’s something wrong with him (there’s not) and it would be better to risk literal death than be autistic.

Initially, some moms of autistic kids eagerly accepted vaccine lies, because that way they could reject the "refrigerator mother" hypothesis, which blamed autism on "cold" mothering.
Now, those same tired vaccine lies will likely be used to blame moms who choose to vaccinate their kids.

The Trump administration is restricting the number of refugees admitted annually to the United States to 7,500 and they will mostly be white South Africans, a dramatic drop announced Thursday that effectively suspends America’s traditional role as a haven for those fleeing war and persecution.
