A journey of theological exploration with the tattooed theologian Dillon Naber Cruz
I was recently asked to talk about the theology of food on the popular Heretic Happy Hour podcast. My background as a permaculture informed theologian made this an interesting topic to discuss.

Stephen Miller’s rabid hatred of immigrants who aren’t “white” is playing out on America’s streets with devastating effect. DHS goon squads from I.C.E. and the Border Patrol have been given license to racially profile people as they wreak havoc in cities across the country. Regardless of the legal status of many immigrants, they have been …
The criminal fascist Trump regime is murdering people. The most recent was an innocent woman who was gunned down in broad daylight in front of witnesses by a fascist ICE agent.

He is a proponent of Christian reconstructionism, hyper-patriarchy, and setting up a theonomic state. Wilson has long been on the radar of Christian historians and other researchers of Christian nationalism. His views, like those …
It is Independence Day in these United States. This holiday is bitterly ironic given the current state of brazen fascism in America as the Trance Regime continues to dismantle institutional norms. Meanwhile, politicians wring their hands as they capitulate to the felonious Predator in Chief and his minions. Senator Lisa Murkowski has ensured that her …
