People who know me know that I am a completely hopeless romantic. My favorite movie is Love Actually.

Our collective nightmare
Last week, the incompetent and woefully unqualified Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth went on a firing spree as he fired top generals in the Army.

Jesus or I.C.E.?
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 …

No more excuses.
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. In response, the leader of the Department of Homeland Security put a placard on her podium that read, "One of Ours All of Yours" …
Dear Peter Thiel…
You've been in the news a lot lately because you have some sort of monomania regarding the antichrist. As a theologian, I may be able to help you understand some things in order to assuage your seeming fears. I can't tell you precisely who the antichrist "is" because there is no 21st century person who …
