I feared having a tooth extracted, but the tooth was cracked and could not be saved. I had it pulled two weeks ago, and I am still dealing with a dry socket. I may have to change dentists because, after seeing me for the dry socket once, the dentist now tells me to use dry... Continue Reading →| Help from Heaven
One of my favorite Scripture passages is at the end of Genesis, when Joseph says to his brothers, “Do not fear: for am I in the place of God? As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as...

Have you ever wondered, “Am I codependent or bad at relationships? Am I a toxic person?” Where do you go to figure yourself out, including your patterns of relating? We do (and don’t) want to know why we tend to be conflict-avoidant, often angry at people, or desperately clingy, fearful, and insecure. The internet will...

Leadership. This one word carries an indomitable weight—measuring godly Christian men and women by their inspiring grace, resilient faith, and steadfast wisdom in hoping for things yet unseen.

We pen this editorial amidst growing authoritarianism and violence around the world, from the Israeli state’s continued genocide in Gaza to the unfurling fist of the Trump administration quashing immigration raid protests in Los Angeles. It seems we are experiencing what Nancy Fraser (2019)—paraphrasing Antonio Gramsci—refers to as an era in which “the old is… Read MoreHousing disputes, struggles, art and resistance in a time of violence »| Radical Housing Journal

The Gospel in Ruth (& a sneak peek at my new Bible study!) Imagine this scene with me like the opening to a movie. The movie director drops us right in the tension of this pivotal moment.

Although it is a generally accepted principle that specialization is an adaptation or elaboration of a generalized form, practical experience has shown us that this is not the case when it comes to the current formation of local, primary, organizations within the U.S.-Canadian capitalist block. To be clearer, organizers who reach class-consciousness and begin their work at the local level tend to first start with one-sided work; if and when their organization deepens its roots and labor avail...| The Red Clarion
Horman Chitonge and ROAPE's Peter Lawrence introduce Volume 51 Issue 180 of the journal, a special issue honouring the life and work of leading African scholar-activist and one of our contributing editors, Lungisile Ntsebeza. Ntsebeza’s work has prominently featured in debates on the land question, rural local government and social movements in South Africa and Africa more broadly. Yet Ntsebeza’s work has not only been academic. He has used his research on land and rural governance to inf...| ROAPE
The editorial board stands in solidarity with the brave Communists in CPUSA who are fighting for the democratic rights one expects in a “party” that claims to adhere to any kind of democratic centralism. The letter we have published below came to us through third party hands; Unity–Struggle-Unity Press has no membership in the CPUSA and has no influence on the party’s internal politics save for what we publish. It is clear that the leadership of this party, rightly referred to as a ...| The Red Clarion
The recent murder of the as-yet-unnamed Honduran in El Paso is far from the only state-sanctioned murder in the past few months. Police executions happen nearly every day, and abuses of working-class people do happen every day, all throughout the domestic territory of the U.S. empire. | The Red Clarion
My midwife told me when I was birthing my second baby girl that if I held my breath the contractions would hurt even more. My natural reaction in pain is to tense my muscles and hold my breath to avoid the pain. In childbirth, I needed deep, long, measured breaths to carry me through the […] The post What to do when grief makes you angry first appeared on Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young.

Yesterday, marched with thousands of people through the streets of Chicago, chanting "Love Trumps Hate". I saw a little Latina girl, maybe 8 years old, carrying a sign which read: "Mr. Trump.
