The corruption of US immigration enforcement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The single most corrupt thing so far about the current United States federal government under this president is the corruption of the immigration enforcement bureaucracy. There are many competitors for this sad award, but at the level of government policy, in my judgment, this is the worst. Immigration enforcement is uniquely vulnerable to corruption in our system. That’s partly because immigration policy is so complicated and enforcement so uneven and shared among so many agencies. It also is b
Jesus is not our political mascot (opens the original)

When you have a few years on you, as I do, you start running into reruns, reboots and reiterations. How many Spider-Man movie reboots have there been since the 1970s? How many versions of Pride and Prejudice? How many efforts to start a true Jesus movement in America? But recently I was approached by an energetic newcomer to the religious thinker/activist landscape I live in who asked me this question: “What would it take to organize a movement of people who are serious about actually following
Ideology, autocracy and resistance: Assessing our US situation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the end of the summer approaches, Congress returns to Washington, and the November elections move into their stretch run, it seems a good time to try to assess where exactly we are in terms of this second Trump administration and the health of U.S. democracy.

It is the latest battle between two very old and very different visions of what America is and who coun
What comes after ‘Post-Evangelicalism’? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am sometimes asked why post-evangelicals have created and are retaining an identity and name that carries forward the religion we have left behind. Doesn’t that just reinscribe the trauma? Doesn’t it confuse the effort to define ourselves now? Doesn’t it make it harder for potential participants to rally around? Isn’t it time for us to come up with a positive, future-forward identity? After all, Luther didn’t create a “post-Catholic” movement, Wesley didn’t create “post-Anglicanism,” Calvin di
Who belongs to the nation? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It may be that the MAGA movement has fallen on hard times. Its president is faltering, with very poor approval ratings. The Iran war and the Epstein debacle have splintered the MAGA base. The administration appears to have little vision and far less energy now than in the first year of this second go-round. The midterms may deliver at least one house of Congress to the Democrats. However, Donald Trump and that movement appear to have permanently altered the conservative part of the U.S. politica
