Scholarship claiming to be "objective" and "neutral" is not more value-free and less ideological because it hides its subjectivity and contemporary interests from itself. - Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza

I’ve had some really big wins this year and I could not be more thankful for them. However, what is not shared as often are the painful pieces that come with the job, how NORMAL it is to be rejected, whether that is explicit or just being straight up ghosted.

This is great news. But we've got to keep talking about how ICE, CBP, and DHS keep overreaching without any accountability and acting outside the law in unjust and inhumane ways. There's more work to be done.

Illegality as identity is an invention, a construction, created and meant to uphold white supremacist colonial empire; people can never BE illegal. While this language by Abbott is unsurprising, I will never get over how horrific it is to wield dehumanization.
I’ve announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday. Also directed
#OperationLoneStar
to be on the lookout.
I continue working with state & local officials to ensure all available resources are deployed to respond.

When I say there is a huge antisemitism issue in Christianity, here are some of the rotted roots.
J. Gresham Machen is the still-beloved founder of
@WestminsterTS
, a hero in White Evangelical mythmaking about their beginnings, and his Greek grammar remains used in seminaries.
Guess someone spiked his coffee with some extra shots of Antisemitism the morning he wrote this...

This paper sets out to prove that, in fact, one can read Susa as Barbie Land, and ipso facto, Queen Vashti should be seen as Weird Barbie.

Christianity and sex positivism hardly go together. So it might come as some surprise to realize that the Divine Plan included more seductresses than shrinking wallflowers.
