Remember a few years ago, when White America learned about something that Black Americans have always know — “The Talk” that Black parents have to give their children about what to do if the police pull you over? We couldn’t imagine that anyone would have to do that in our country. They would be in…

I have known Eric Anderson since about 1986, when we met in seminary. That’s thirty-six years, so I feel like I know him well enough to write this on his 59th birthday. That means I have been in Eric’s life more than I have not. The fact that that’s true says a lot about Eric.…

Given that, I’d like to explain today’s insanity: the murder…

Lord, my enemies surround me on my Twitter feed. There is talk of a need for a “Domestic supply of infants” by a Supreme Court Justice” Breaking News: Republicans in Michigan have replaced election officials who certified Joe Biden’s win. A white supremacist podcaster spewed QAnon conspiracy theories during a campaign event for right-wing Idaho…

I worry all the time about the midterm elections. I hear, quite frequently, that Republicans will win the majority in either the House or Senate and they have made it quite clear that they will not use their power for good. They will use it to destroy the party that stood up to them —…
