You spoke to my heart, Angela. Thank you for speaking such words of truth and as far as I am concerned, terrorists isn’t too strong a term for them. To watch the Constitution that I had sworn to protect from all enemies, foreign and domestic, be desecrated that day was truly a low moment for me in terms of trust in this nation. Keep up the good fight and to adapt Congressman John Lewis’s, “get into a little good trouble!”
I’ve never had death threats but when my research on creating inclusive mathematics programs was reviewed in the NYTimes thirty years ago I got a barrage of hate emails that I had the audacity to think ( and show evidence) that women and students of color could be successful in STEM fields. Good for you Angela. Keep standing in your truth.
I just wrote my first piece about Christian Nationalism this week. If you have time, please read it. I have written with my Christian friends in mind, but not getting a lot of reaction, so far. I'm very concerned for the cultish aspects of the Trumpism surrounding us. However, my husband and I have actually found an Evangelical church (non-denominational whose leadership and most members are not Trumpers. Two years ago, God used my husband to get us out of a church full of Trumpers. I still consider the people to be Christian, but sadly deceived in that regard. Other non Trumpers are the publishers of "Christianity Today." I still get a lot out of their magazine. Thank God not all Evangelicals have drunk the Trump Kool aid!
