I keep coming back with a conversation I had not long ago with someone who went to Eastern Orthodox seminary about evangelicalism being as much of a new, distinctively American religion as Mormonism.
The thing that baffles me the most is non-evangelical Christians refusal to affiliate with it the way they do Mormonism.
Especially given that, as far as I can tell, Mormon disdain for mainline Protestantism is relatively passive, while evangelicals’ is active.

I mean, sure, I'm willing to pause talking about abortion bans briefly to talk about all the other ways our country is murdering women, like police shooting Black women, all the murderous things we're doing to Native women, murders of trans women. Which one of those you want?
Like, we've got NO SHORTAGE of things this country is doing to women to scream about.
And yeah, I mostly boost other people talking about those issues rather than talking about them myself because I'm largely out of my lane on it. But okay, let's talk about people you should be listening to.

PSA for Christians, since apparently this is not clear to you: Things that are persecution:
-being shot during prayers
-having your house of worship burned
-hateful graffiti on your homes & houses of worship
-bomb threats
-laws preventing you from privately practicing your faith
Things that are not persecution:
-the existence of other religions
-having to allow people to practice their faith without your interference
-people not wanting to hang out with you because you're obnoxious
-a secular society letting people you don't like get married
Other things that are not persecution:
--people being allowed to leave your religion
--the election of lawmakers that are not members of your religion
--children in public schools learning that other religions--and people without religion--exist
--immigration

I just fucking can't even theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
What the fuck are you all smoking

I mean, yes, what with the epidemic of white churches being burned and shot up

oh wait, sorry, that's mosques, synagogues and Black churches
White 👏 evangelicalism 👏 is 👏 intimately 👏 tied 👏 to👏 white 👏 supremacy 👏

The same people saying American Christians are persecuted as much or more than racial and religious minorities are the ones saying "white genocide" is a thing.

FORTY BUCKS AND A DREAM: The lives of a Hollywood motel
The first thing one sees upon checking into the Saharan Motor Hotel is a man’s naked butt. He is lying on his stomach by the pool, shaved head glistening with sweat above a hairy back. Another angle reveals…/1
...he is wearing a black thong, hiked as high as anatomical constraints allow, which may be why the only other sunbather, an underdeveloped, fair-haired chap, has moved his plastic chaise as far away as possible, turning it every fifteen minutes for maximum UV exposure./2

I refuse to remain silent as religion rips through humanity like a virulent plague. I know it’s awfully rude to question and criticize this very ancient institution, but so what?
Political correctness and the protection of truth and human rights rarely coincide, so I would rather be politically incorrect and compassionate than cowardly and apathetic.
I would rather empathize with the oppressed than pander to the oppressor. I’d prefer to freely express contempt for contemptible cultures and religions than sit safely and silently as women are treated as beasts of burden, as mere chattels to be bartered between barbaric men.

(MUELLER REPORT LIVE THREAD) This thread chronicles—in real time—the release of the Mueller Report, with news and analysis from a @Newsweek columnist and @NYTimes bestselling author (Proof of Collusion). Please retweet this thread widely for those you think might benefit from it.
1/ I want to start by offering my @Newsweek column from today (April 17), which sets the stage for what the Thursday (April 18) release of the Mueller Report will and will not be: newsweek.com/william-barr-r…
2/ I've also detailed errors made by media in the run-up to the release of the Mueller Report. If you read the @Newsweek piece atop this thread and then the thread below, you'll get a sense of what an accurate accounting of events is up against right now.

Being back in S/SE London last week, esp the v diverse (and rel high crime) area I lived in 2010-17, reminded me of an observation I think is relevant to debates about disproportionality re #stopsearch: you just don't see many white teenagers out and about there.

1.
By contrast, loads of white younger (eg pre/primary age) children, including in local schools which are all (though varyingly) v racially mixed.

So where are the white teens? I've some thoughts/hypotheses, and hope to explore whether empirical evidence bears them out.

2.
First, to say that although the area is racially and economically quite mixed - lots of local authority owned terraced housing mixed in with owner occupiers/private renters; large post-war estates, some rebuilt - my impression is that it's also quite socially segregated.
