"I would have thought the church was a safe place, too, until the results came in from my research with more than 2,800 women who worked in the church. I have compiled these results in my new book, Safe Church: How to Guard Against Sexism & Abuse in Christian Communities." - Andrew J. Bauman
What I learned when I asked women if church is safe for them – Baptist News Global
These stories are disturbing and humbling. I hope they propel us to change the system from which many of us (especially men) have benefited.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

Yesterday, from @kitoconnell.com: The new Texas "bathroom bill" not only makes it harder for trans people to exist in public, it also attempts to grant immunity from prosecution to those enforcing it, even if they violate the constitution.
How the Bathroom Bill Weaponizes Transphobia Against Public Institutions
A legal expert called the new anti-trans Texas bathroom law “the most plainly unlawful, undemocratic legislation I’ve seen in recent history.”

In sincerity I did log on for a reason. A new issue of the Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies is out, edited by colleague/friend Marcel Elias. It's about how to do postcolonial medieval studies bigger and better. You'll like it. (I'm in there). Go read.

My whole life it has been impossible to criticise Israel without being called anti-Semitic.

It was always an absolutely outrageous and disgraceful tactic designed to silence criticism of crimes against humanity.

So I’m sorry, but I have no time or respect for that phase any more. I’m not alone.
