I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I support AOC’s bill to end stock trading in Congress. It is true “insider trading”.

Do you?

'Imagine that a killer asteroid is heading straight for Earth. With sufficient effort and ingenuity, humanity could work to deflect it. But no-one bothers. Everybody dies"

Big picture stuff like wars.and catastrophes typically isn't among the obligations of ordinary citizens ...but it is for governments and the like. Consider the aftermath of 9/11, when security agencies were criticised for failing, but ordinary people on the ground were praised to the skies.for their help.

Yes, though if there are things we can do to reduce x-risks, that's surely worth doing even if not an "obligation" in the ordinary sense.

It's a case of obligation-for-whom. I can't do anything about an asteroid, but NASA might.
