If You Don’t Know What’s Happening in Your State, That Might Be a Clue. Privilege can look like the freedom not to pay attention. A reflection on Idaho legislation, justice, and choosing solidarity.

When laws threaten your safety or well-being, you learn bill numbers quickly. When they don’t, it’s easier to scroll past. A new blog post on privilege, paying attention, and why it matters... with a look at some of the truly crazy things happening in Idaho.

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture.

On the back of the photograph she wrote:

“‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says.

‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.”

The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

Murphy's Law of Smoke Alarms: the low battery chirp will always start at 3:00am. Never in the afternoon.

Wake Me Up When September Ends Much has been written about how the body keeps the score. (One of the most famous examples is a book by that title). I used to think of it as nothing more than pseudoscience. Now, I know otherwise: th...

My latest blog circles back to old wounds, the scars we bear, and the quiet hope that refuses to let us go.

Berries are Proof that God Exists But then berry season arrives. Not forever, not even for long. Just long enough to remind us that grace still shows up. That creation is still bearing fruit.

But then berry season arrives.

This one hurts. 💔

It's Not a Political Statement Welcome is not political. It's biblical. Welcome is not a threat. It's a blessing.

My latest blog post, on the Idaho attorney general's terribly misguided take on the "Everyone is Welcome Here" signs.

A screenshot of an email from SSA that includes this excerpt: "The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans."

The Social Security Administration sent this partisan ass-kissing drivel to everyone with a SSA online account. What's worse? The unsubscribe button doesn't work.

Fascism shows up in big ways and small ways.

This Is Who We Are Rev. TJ Remaley reflects on the passage of the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill.

This is who we are. This is who we've always been.

This doesn't have to be the way we remain.

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill

Remember folks, women are too emotional to be president.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.

These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.

If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

Do you really want to know where I was April 29th?

Flowering tree in springtime.

The task of staying alert for simple joys in the midst of chaos is honestly a little bit easier in springtime.
