The United Methodist Church's ban on 'self-avowed practicing homosexuals' from serving as clergy haunted me as I grew up in the UMC and felt a call to ministry.

just removed the ban. Hallelujah! Here's my latest column for MSNBC: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

Does not surprise me one bit that this song became a Christian nationalist anthem. It always struck me as triumphalist in the wrong hands (most places it’s sung)

Weird to see outspoken Christian nationalists throwing around the term 'antisemitic' at others. Guess it's time to tap the sign. Studies looking at this issue find Christian nationalists are MORE likely to believe antisemeitic tropes. (We link CN to antisemitism in our book too.)

“Trump would be better off sleeping in a courtroom than attempting to campaign. The entire event was an unhinged mess. Trump has nothing to say and he can’t even muster the energy to say it loudly or with much passion.”

“The great unspoken among conservative media for why RFK Jr. is getting so much attention is that they have been covering Trump for almost a decade now, and the audience wants to hear a different voice.“

As North Dakota’s next Senator, I will sponsor legislation that caps credit card interest rates at 12%. Pass it on.

It wasn't even a close vote for the United Methodist Church! 692-51 in favor of welcoming LGBTQIA clergy & marriage! I'm thinking of my UMC colleagues who've endured pain, exclusion & punishment at the hands of the church for so long. Finally, justice! cnn.com/2024/05/01/us/…

More NYPD arrests last night at City College than Columbia.

No network cameras at City College.

1st NYPD campus protest arrests weren't at Columbia in 1968 but at City College in 1949.

One is an Ivy League college & other is a public college serving mostly local students.

I did some reading on the 1968 protests at Columbia to better understand the parallels to what’s happening today. It turns out there aren’t a lot. 1/

These protests feel wrong because the students are disrupting everyone’s education in the short term but show no willingness to disrupt their own educations in the long term. They’ll to fuck up finals week for their principles, but not quit Columbia for their principles. 10/
