Exactly this. I would also expand this to say that there’s nothing that throws a Christian off balance more than saying “I don’t hang out with you because I don’t think you’re a good person.” They literally don’t know how to respond to that.

When you snub your Trump-voting family members (or friends who write genocide apologia in the Free Press), you take away their sense
that they are decent, respectable, normal people. It’s good to fight that normalizing impulse, when Trump in power means people getting kidnapped by masked police.

Biden deported more people 20-24 than Trump did 16-20. but deportations and family separations stopped mattering inauguration day 2020 for a lot of folks. Wouldn't want to think too much about how and when certain things were made societal norms and became acceptable to more people.

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔
