Another amazing blurb for my upcoming book written by Mark I. Wallace , author of “When God Was a Bird: Christianity, Animism, and the Re-Enchantment of the World.”

This is a wonderful book written with dangerous brio and incisive analysis. But it is more than a book.

Yesterday I showed my two book projects at Union: one on ritual and climate devastation and one on the Saturday of despair, the day in between Holy Friday and Sunday Easter when the followers of Jesus didn’t have much to hold on to. Both books want to give us ways to survive the end of the world.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have been directed by Trump officials to aggressively ramp up the number of people they arrest, from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500.

This piece in the @theatlantic.com is one of the single best on the LA fires I have read. It really covers all the bases. Puts to shame the @nytimes.com I shared earlier that repeated RW talking points. It's a gift article so you should have access even w/o sub.

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.
