This is a big one: For many years, my efforts to understand racism and to explain it to myself and to others have been a work in progress. At long last, I’m ready to begin sharing my work with others. Feedback, commentary, corrections, criticism welcome!

there is nothing the man will not lie about, no crisis he will not try to exploit, and no lie is too absurd or too pernicious for Trump himself or someone in his near orbit to float
A devastating, deadly hurricane hits the U.S. during a presidential campaign. One candidate for president plays politics with the hurricane, spreads dangerous disinformation about the hurricane, and repeatedly lies about what the government is & isn’t doing. The other candidate for president does what she can to help facilitate federal assistance to hurricane survivors and the impacted communities.
Should be an easy choice on Nov 5th.
Very pleased to see that my two election-related posts are now the top two most popular things I’ve written on my new Substack! With the election looming, if my approach interests you, I hope you’ll check them out—and, if you think they’re worth reading, share them with others.
1. Reflections on voting as a pro-life Catholic: Lengthy musings on my political thinking over the years. (I’m calling this a preamble to my anti-Trump polemic. Yes, a preamble!)

2. A referendum on elections: Why defeating Trump is the best move for the US and the GOP (this would be the anti-Trump polemic)

This was a tedious, painstaking, brutal article to research and write. It was hard to listen to Fr. Ripperger drone on for hours about demons, conspiracy theories and his superstitious worldview.
But people (especially bishops) need to be informed.

This suggests to me (along with the feedback I’m getting from many directions) that a lot of US Catholics are fed up with being told that there’s only one right way to vote in every election, that voting any other way is a sin, etc.
Follow-up to “Reflections on voting as a pro-life Catholic”: Longread on why I believe that the defeat of Trump in 2024 is in the best interests, not only of the country, but also of the Republican Party, the pro-life movement, and American democracy

More blasphemy. Literally calling on God as witness of his lies.

I love this particular photo because it really captures the fragility of working with sand. The rising side is already gathering on either side of Christ crucified; the work will only last a few more minutes.
