    Trump is lying — again — about the Kennedy Center (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve written multiple times about Donald Trump’s obsession with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and his authoritarian motivations to control the arts and culture institutions in this country. The president’s obsession is now threatening the country’s preeminent performing arts center, and everyone — whether you’re an arts person or not — should take note. According to the president’s telling, the Kennedy Center is falling apart and was in such financial disarray that he just h

    Robert Jeffress, apostate (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Robert Jeffress, senior pastor at First Baptist Church of Dallas, is no stranger to controversy. He has denigrated Christian ethics by openly proclaiming political power as more important than personal character when choosing political candidates. Time and again he’s asked Christians to disbelieve their eyes about the kind of man President Donald Trump is and has warped Scripture to do so. Recently, Robert P. Jones, president of PRRI, has made the case that in this era of democratic and spiritua

    Democratic Socialists are not Social Democrats (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I read George Orwell’s Animal Farm in the ninth grade. I’ve been thinking a lot about the novella in recent weeks as candidates from the Democratic Socialists of America face more moderate Democrats in primary elections across the country. In Orwell’s story, the animals of Manor Farm rebel against their human owner. The rebellion is inspired by the vision of an elderly boar named Mr. Major who imagines a world free from human exploitation, and the pigs take charge to lead the revolt. The revolut

    A clergy call to preserve our democracy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The last time I was in Minneapolis, the city was under siege. In January, I came to Minneapolis on behalf of Baptist News Global. I arrived two weeks after Renée Nicole Good — a U.S. citizen and mother of three — was shot dead by an ICE agent as she followed orders to move her car out of the road. While in Minneapolis, I participated in rapid response patrols and then joined more than 700 clergy from around the country for a day of nonviolent action on Jan. 23. That action — the Day of Freedom a

    I’m a mother asking the court to block Texas’ Ten Commandments law (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I am a Baptist pastor in Texas, the mother of an elementary-school child and one of the plaintiffs in Nathan v. Alamo Heights Independent School District, a lawsuit challenging a Texas law (SB-10) that requires public schools to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom across the state. This week, I, along with more than two dozen other Texas families, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear our case, reverse an appellate court decision upholding SB-10, and affirm our constitutional right to fr
