Americans have never been angrier with one another. But polarization is not the disease—it is the response to a revanchist movement seeking to roll back sixty years of social progress. 🆕 by @lilymasonphd.bsky.social muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/a...

What if caring about people's material needs *is* a moral and ethical story about how to live together in this moment? I take it this is what drives the popularity of Mamdani and others, that people are willing to allow themselves a brief risk of hope that a politician might do something good.

Guys, electoralism will always produce these people. Making elections in a bourgeois democracy the center (not saying they have no place, they are crucial) of your idea to change the status quo is a losing game. Whether it be Gaza or Trans people, they will inevitably throw someone under the bus

My prior that love for the EOW is strongly positively correlated with age continues to be upheld. Pretty much every young Episcopalian I know is a BCP freak, and that includes not just internet weirdos (me I'm an internet weirdo).

Hey priests, don't unilaterally change a community's way of worship with no mutual discernment between you and the community. That's called clericalism. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Our justice system really needs a robust legal doctrine of social murder (and manslaughter!) but such a doctrine will never materialize because the very people in power doing the most killing would have to be the ones to create and enforce it

Seeing a clinical pastoral education program in my state change their name away from describing themselves as Episcopalian reminds me of how readily we tend to give up any kind of cultural or visible presence in our communities e.g., my kids go to a school that was originally an Episcopalian-run...

I suspect it is not something that can happen in one or even two generations but if the Presiding Bishop is serious about us being a church of resistance rather than wrapped up with U.S. empire then this weird relationship between the "National Cathedral" and holders of U.S. power needs to end ⚓

A collect I wrote for the 4th last year:

Lord Jesus Christ, our King of Kings, who was anointed to bring good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, and freedom to the oppressed: let your justice roll down like waters upon this nation, cast down the mighty from their thrones and send the rich away empty, so that the lowly may be lifted up, the hungry filled with good things, and that we the people may walk in holiness and righteousness for the rest of our days, for the honor of your Name. Amen.
