"The Enemy of Imagination": Here's the Speech I Gave Last Night I had such an incredible day yesterday, y’all. First I was at the Trans Day of Literature at George Mason University, talking with incredible authors...

So I was invited to accept an award for "imagination in service to society." This forced me to think a bit about what "imagination," "service" and "society" mean to me.

Here's the speech I delivered last night:

The First Amendment Won’t Go Quietly Welcome to the third Red Scare.

Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

This is horrendous. She has likely cost many people their physical and mental health, and probably their lives, and she is not ashamed or remorseful whatever that she did it for nebulous credibility with the worst people on Earth.

Russell Vought, Trump’s Shadow President From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that inside...

In case you missed it, read Andy’s deep dive on how Vought used his position as budget chief to dismantle entire federal agencies, use the government shutdown as a way to fire civil servants, and put workers “in trauma”:

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

What is the possibility that several of these GAFCON churches go through their own Episcopal/ACNA type schism, producing two different Anglican Communions?

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I've gotten to the point of my ministry career where I just want to say: if you don't believe God wants us to exist in the future, that God will bring the Church into the future, then get out of my way ⚓

This is it. I'm fine if others want to throw in the towel or be doomers, but im still doing God's work, still being part of the Church, and still believe. Let me.

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

Maybe the first time ever I’ve agreed 100% with Mother Jones. It’s time to unhook the Federalism fire escape. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is what I and others have advocated for for a long time - using the tools we have to resist, namely Federal tax revenue.
