Thank you, @bairdjulia for https://t.co/fJnYGher9O I'm taking your advice, #ImmodestWoman that I am: I've added Dr. to my name here; I will do the same on my author website.

Call it out: racism is morally wrong, not “unacceptable” or “politically offensive.” #don’tfeedTroll

A theologically astute and historically accurate description of the fundamentalist malignancy called “religious Right.” Genuine Christians, take note and give thanks. https://t.co/KGC3VpWScg

@MatthewSitman Colomb & Williams, The Craft of Argument, is far far more useful. Lasch is rigidly proscriptive—albeit sadly influential in social science.

@PeachesJenkins3 Consider this: metoo gets wide sympathy. BLM and kneeling? Outrage. White privilege is exceedingly complex. I see it here, that’s all. Peace

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

@PeachesJenkins3 Peaches, sorry, I surely did not intend to silence anyone. Some white women are relatively safe. Blacks never are, ESPECIALLY women.

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

#metoo A woman of my generation? Does "me too" even need to be SAID? And this is nothing in comparison to what black folks suffer.

@CDNArchives Much fun--that's my energy. But my eyes are green, just as wildly green as that shade of blue.

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

@tripphudgins @godgrrl @Sandi F-ing brilliant, pal: liturgy surely should em-body an alternative reality. It surely does, at least at times, with wild unpredictability.

A sheriff was racist for sport,
So much so he flouted the court,
Becoming in time
Convicted of crime,
And thus won the pres’s support.

The shadow of my kitchen colander. Low tech, perhaps, but fun. Shadows onto pavement under trees can show this too.

By quiet word of mouth, not social media, thousands in #Charlottesville gather to reassure the nation that hate will not defeat democracy. https://t.co/NcLrj5nEj1

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

The white supremacists in #Charlottesville had chanted "you will not replace us." I believe they have been replaced. https://t.co/FCBVDHv1BW

@PRRIpoll @FareedZakaria #Democrats might begin by listening to Xn Left & making moral claims. Cultural historians offers backstory at https://t.co/ZJfHZRBJRO

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

@FranklinFoer She will be a more effective "savior" if she can learn make proper use of Jesus' snarky, confrontational wit. https://t.co/D2juHLvKkh

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

@zengerle @FranklinFoer Agreed. For a longer horizon yet, https://t.co/ZJfHZRBJRO Classic progressive Xnty has immense resources & symbolic capital.

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

@FranklinFoer Great piece. Christian left offers this sharper approach. Cultural historian weighs in at https://t.co/ZJfHZRBJRO

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

.@FranklinFoer Beyond econ left and cultural left you describe is Xn Left: human rts and equality at law. https://t.co/ZJfHZRBJRO #Democrats

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

.@PeterBeinart Cultural unity you say #Democrats should advocate can be found on Xn Left: human rights & equality. https://t.co/ZJfHZRBJRO

[Dr. Catherine M. Wallace @Cate_Wallace]

@TheChristianLft We need to know what "liberal bias" really means as hard-Right code. Here's that backstory. https://t.co/Ui2iRveqFR
