Why on Earth Did Nancy Go to Taiwan?

Dark Side of Puritanism: Admitting the Reality of Religious Liberation
Breaking up is hard to do, and I am not at all prepared to discard my deep love and admiration for novelist and essayist Marilynne Robinson. Among her novels, I treasure Lila in particular for its deep tenderness. Among the essays, “The Human Spirit and the Good Society” appeals for its exquisite critique of prevailing neo-Darwinian ideas about who we are and what we’re capable of as human beings.

Earth Mama Healing Aims to Educate and Inspire Entire Communities
Growing up as a young woman of color in the United States brings a unique set of challenges and particular disadvantages — both of which have only been exacerbated by the pandemic. Last year, a report from the Institute For Women’s Policy Research found that, in 2020, young women between the ages of 16 to 24 “lost more than a third of jobs between February and April,” as the pandemic forced many businesses to shut their doors.
Gerard Grogans - ‘Are you struggling to create a life and business that is unique and authentic to you?’
If so, you’re not alone. I, too, struggled with knowing how to develop myself much less, how to create a business that was unique and authentic to me. Especially when I was still dealing with my own doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs. I mean, I knew I wanted to help other people change, grow, and transform themselves. But I had to first learn to change myself and change the way I saw myself.

Democrats Can Win if Biden-Harris Say They Won’t Run
For the foreseeable future, the Democratic Party is in trouble. In today’s essay I will describe just how bleak the situation is – spoiler alert, very — and how I would advise party leaders to respond if they asked my advice. First, they’re probable going to lose big in the upcoming midterms. Prediction is fraught, things change, you never know, blah blah blah. Polls are mixed. That said, Republicans will almost certainly take back the House of Representatives and probably the Senate as well.

Why Peace and Disarmament Are at the Heart of Nonalignment
As our world spirals toward the catastrophe of nuclear war, there has never been a greater need for a new global balancing, a rejection of great power war, exploitation, and aggression.

LA Working to Prevent Homelessness Among Older Youth
Young adult life is well understood: Roommates bicker, rents go up, a job change requires a move. Youth with families have somewhere to turn during these common upsets. They can crash with parents while lining up a new place, or get a quick infusion of cash to cover a new security deposit and moving costs. These otherwise ordinary rites of passage often leave foster youth homeless.
Where the Boys Aren't
In the last week of her life, my mother extracted a promise from me. “Make sure,” she said, “that Orion goes to college.” I swore that I would, although I wasn’t at all sure how I’d make it happen. Even in the year 2000, average tuitions were almost 10 times what my own undergraduate school had charged 30 years earlier. I knew that sending my nephew to college would cost more money than I’d have when the time came. If he was going to college, like his aunt before him, he’d need financial help.

Racism Curdles Peace and War is Just a Symptom of Racism
War and racism have always been violently, tragically inseparable. For centuries, the most devastating and brutal conflicts in the world have been driven by destructive notions of racial superiority and murderous assertions of ethnic differences.

Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have consistently refused to apologize for past teachings deeming Black members of the Church inferior.

But one can’t move forward after past mistakes without making amends, whether the harm done was intentional or not. And that can’t be done without an apology.
Is the Democratic Party Dying, Again?
How quickly the abnormal becomes normal. If you had told me three months ago that Russia would invade Ukraine and that the U.S. response would be $54 billion in “aid,” much of it consisting of missiles, artillery, bullets, and other forms of weaponry, and that this huge amount of “aid” would be supported by every Democrat in the House and Senate, without exception, I don’t think I would have believed you.
Overturning Roe Devastates Women of Color
For many people of color, Roe v. Wade was always in jeopardy.
