Yes, This Is Who We Are: The United States and Our History of Injustice

Last updated on: February 2, 2020 at 12:58 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

This is who we are. We came to this continent, stole it from those who lived here, and claimed to discover it. We warred over it, put down roots, established a new nation claiming to be based on liberty, while we were keeping human beings as slaves. Read more

Trump’s Attendance At the March For Life Is Significant – But Not In the Way His Supporters Claim

Last updated on: January 23, 2020 at 9:56 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

With Trump as their figurehead, the pro-life movement now looks, to anyone outside his cult following, like exactly the kind of misogynistic, cruel, racist movement we were worried about it becoming. Read more

Know Your Dogwhistles! Recognizing Anti-Semitism Is the First Step

Last updated on: January 18, 2020 at 8:56 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

I have written before about how there is an antisemitism problem among Catholics of the far right. Whether it’s alt-right media personality Patrick Coffin giving a platform to overt antisemites such as E. Michael Jones, or Center for Family and Human Rights president Austin Ruse praising the Proud Boys, or white nationalist John Zmirak defending the phrase “you will not replace us – whether it’s tabloid media groups such as the Remnant publishing anti-semitic material – whether it’s ongoing and...

We Need To Talk About Sexism In Politics

Last updated on: January 17, 2020 at 6:55 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

It is impossible for any woman to take the lead in this society without being judged not according to ordinary expectations for humans, but also according to patriarchal expectations for women.

Those Who Shamed Us For Immorality Are Now Its Biggest Defenders: The Gaslighting Cycle of the Christian Trump Supporter

Last updated on: January 21, 2020 at 1:07 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

The hypocrisy of those who claim to defend decency while standing up for everything that is base and indecent is breathtaking. But on top of this hypocrisy, Trump’s religious devotees dare to pretend to still have a moral high ground. They are still trying to police and shame us - this time, for doing what we know is right.

Reducing Abortion Rates and Protecting Women’s Rights Are Goals That Can and Should Co-Exist

Last updated on: January 10, 2020 at 12:30 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

The important thing is, we do agree that a right to life is real, and we do agree that bodily autonomy is real. We do not want to see a world in which abortion rates are high. Nor do we want to see a world in which women are routinely shamed, punished, and imprisoned because of personal choices they have made in dire circumstances. Read more

So What If Jesus Wasn’t Poor or a Refugee?

Last updated on: December 28, 2019 at 3:09 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

The corrupt prelates who persecuted the mendicants wanted to water down the radicality of Jesus’s message. Religious and political leaders try to do the same today, to attempt to appropriate the Gospel as something to be used for power on behalf of the powerful, rather than for justice on behalf of the oppressed.
