Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Why grapple with the harm you (& your ancestors) did when you can cosplay &/or project it onto others instead? Literally why we're here banning history books instead of walking into every reckoning the 1619 Project invited us towards. Literally why a genocide is being called self-defense. 3556

Reposted by Rabbi Danya RuttenbergAaahh!!! bstract Tesseract @abstracttesseract.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I know a lot of people who know Merton from "The Seven Storey Mountain" and use his early work to claim that spirituality should be a kind of withdrawal from society and its harms. So I think it's valuable to look at his other work, and see how outspoken and committed he was to working in the world 22611
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The poet, writer and monk Thomas Merton wrote a deliciously subversive "confession of crimes against the state" in 1960-- in middle of the Cold War, as the McCarthy era was just beginning to ebb, and the Vietnam War had already been underway for five years. He knew from jingoism. This is a treat:lifeisasacredtext.comMerton's Confession of Crimes Against the Statespiritual resistance looks like a lot of things 25213

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social · 08/10/2026vibes, no? Am I making this up? VS "I am natural and of the LAND and the VOLK and returning to the OLD WAYS" - it's not just the anti-intellectualism that makes the MAHA to MAGA pipeline so easy. There's coded white supremacy shit there in the background to start with. 31034
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social · 08/10/2026-- and this is off the top of my head, one of you might have something on this -- how much of the MAHA garbage has some coded antisemitism at the root.
