Really liked this piece by @mitchellatencio.com on Skipping School. “When the bulk of homeschooling organizations operate from a religious missional base, how does it affect those other homeschoolers Lane illuminates?” A question that I found myself asking while reading the book too.
may sound odd coming from me but Bonnie is spot on here identifying that fear and lack of commitment to journalism is the primary and perhaps only real issue driving CT's turmoil. it's not about politics first. (and i appreciate how prayerful she and other former staff have been in navigating this)
what CT is becoming is a genuine and stark loss for all of us. thankful for the many honest voices in here.

I... did not know this about the Trump accounts
Musk would do this through those f*cking Trump Accounts they opened in every child's name without parental consent. I HATE these SO much. Parents cannot close the accounts. Parents cannot reject donations to the accounts. And we must hold on to donations for at least 5 years. I'm a state lawmaker.
fun fact that Teepell's dad was instrumental in Louisiana passing a law to allow homeschool students to play sports on public school teams (like other states had long already allowed) www.si.com/more-sports/...
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
great reporting from Marisa, fun cameo by @jackjenkins.me. Not surprised Michael Farris has a cameo here.

As someone who's been very publicly critical of evangelicals over the years, I was interested in Bonnie Kristian's new book, 'In Defense of Evangelicalism.' She sat down with @mitchellatencio.com to put her defense under cross-examination. sojo.net/articles/int...
Interviewed Bonnie Kristian about her defense of evangelicalism, how evangelicals engage the "reform from within," she hopes for, evangelical politics and pluralism, and so much more. (gift link!)

“An antifascist spirituality is about maintaining our Christ-formed humanity as we resist inhuman actions and realities; it is about holding onto the hope for healing as we recognize the necessity of political conflict.” (gift link!)
