How Authoritarian Politics Took Over My Christian College

In a favorite photo of mine, I stand grinning with my arm around my college’s mascot, Rocky the Golden Eagle. The photo was taken in 2009 when I first arrived at Cornerstone University’s campus in Grand Rapids, Mich. Looking at the photo now, I can’t help but think how naïve I was about the school’s theology and politics.

This story was originally reported by Jennifer Gerson and Mariel Padilla of The 19th. Meet Jennifer and Mariel and read more of their reporting on gender, politics and policy. Until recently, the young women at the forefront of conservative politics were largely evangelical Protestants. They looked like the kind of young women you might see showing their OOTDs on RushTok, marrying a certain Southern-bred feminine aesthetic with a defense of President Donald Trump.

‘Andor’: The ‘Star Wars’ Show That Knows What Fascism Really Looks Like

1 week ago | sojo.net | Tyler Huckabee

In 2018, blockbuster guru James Cameron hosted a fascinating conversation with Star Wars creator George Lucas. While discussing the original trilogy for Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction series, the conversation turned to war and resistance. Cameron observes that the Rebel Alliance is not playing by any accepted mainstream definition of heroism. CAMERON: The good guys are the rebels. They’re using asymmetric warfare against a highly organized empire.
'The Chosen' Star Elizabeth Tabish Didn't Want Men to Speak for Her Anymore

In the Gospel of John, Mary Magdalene is the first person to see the risen Jesus. That means, in the brief, beautiful space between meeting the Lord and telling the disciples what she’d seen, Mary Magdalene was the whole entire church, giving rise to her identification as “the apostle to the apostles.” “What an important and special thing for the first person to witness Jesus resurrected [be] a woman,” Elizabeth Tabish said.

Is ‘Warfare’ an Anti-War Movie?

2 weeks ago | sojo.net | Tim Brinkhof

Even if you haven’t seen Warfare, you might have come across news headlines calling it “the most realistic war film ever made.” This isn’t a cheap marketing ploy. The film, the latest from Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Civil War director Alex Garland, does indeed have a strong claim to that title. Garland’s first foray into cinematic nonfiction, Warfare is based on the memories of Navy SEAL soldiers who were ambushed by al-Qaida in the aftermath of the Battle of Ramadi in 2006.
Captain America’s Identity Crisis

THE CAPTAIN AMERICAseries has always been a bright spot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, they’re big blockbuster fun, but they’ve also been willing to do what political thrillers do best: Consider the questions of power. Previous entries have interrogated the perils of the surveillance state and the historic experimentation done on Black soldiers, political waters that few MCU projects have ventured into.
I Want to Make America Healthy Again, Too

I COULD FIT right in with crunchy “MAHA” moms. I wore my babies in patterned baby carriers, puréed organic squash and bananas for their first foods, and obsessed over toxins and microplastics in everything. I daydream about backyard chickens and growing enough tomatoes and cucumbers to last through the winter storedin neat rows of mason jars in my pantry. I, too, want cleaner water, soil, air, and food for my children.
