What’s good Pittsburgh

Very helpful article that situates the Confessing Church within larger German conservative responses to Nazism—namely a mixture acquiescence, ambivalence, and some reservations

We are getting to a point where if there is some sort of dystopian future collapse, there will be the dark comedy of nothing turning on bc of subscription mode software shit

As chuck Schumer says, he’s doing a great job

A movie that becomes more "now" with every year

For all of the weird Bonhoeffer rabbit holes I've been down, very odd I just encountered The Bonhoeffer Declaration this morning. If you look at the signer list, it is very clear what it is bonhoeffer.org

I think the whole Tr*mp is an intentional foreign asset thing is slightly silly. That international, elite corruption, opportunistic nation-states, and the contradictions of the reactionary agenda can account for pretty much all of it?

Seeing a number of “reasonable” conservatives say this isn’t “true” bc they haven’t fired Hays www.christianitytoday.com/2025/05/full...

The sheer variety of causes and ideologies that Bonhoeffer is marshaled for is astounding

The fact that he would write this piece now, which 85% is conservative framing of higher Ed and education, speaks volumes

Going to be annoying here. I think certain types of anabaptist or Hauerwasian theology serve as a bridge out of conservativsm for many but it ends up creating an incoherent politics for some. Have been vaguly aware of this but seeing more of it as the trump years go on www.abc.net.au/religion/ada...

I do think any usage of Yoder, especially on topic of power should come with a huge asteroid. That said, this framing of what voting is served as a perfect demonstration of how organizers can be better theologians than theologians

💯

Hey @carlosrosa.bsky.social is this possible with Buckingham?

They should turn most of the area around Buckingham fountain into a cafe with trees like this

I am begging for a Hollywood movie or TV writer to make something that features realistic 'artificial intelligence'

This will fix me

Excellent framing of waste

Problems with the police state understanding of Nazi Germany

The Sovereign of Chicago

Given that FDR thought of the New Deal as an antifascist program, the failure of Bidenism (simply an interregnum it seems) is something to note

Post-WWII German churches and the de-nazification process. Protestant pastors provided, Persilscheine or “soap certificates” designed to wash someone clean of any Nazi taint

Still better than they deserve.

Wrote a piece on apartheid theology, DOGE, solidarity, and more for @sojo.net sojo.net/articles/opi...

Witnessing some right wingers simultaneously blame the current moment on the “overreach” Of the left AND fantasizing about the horrible things Democrats will do once back in power. Pure dislocation of any agency

Paying a cool million to get served a Hungry-Man frozen meal

This is what I was referring to in this thread: blockclubchicago.org/2025/05/23/p...
