Amy Hawk and Pat Kahnke discuss Adam Serwer's key 2018 Atlantic article "The Cruelty Is the Point" now that the second Trump term is proving to be even more cruel than the first. We discuss Kristi Noem as the "face" of MAGA cruelty, selling the twisted and demented ideas of Stephen Miller. We analyze these issues through the lens of scripture, and call followers of Jesus to something better.

March 31, 2025 Essay: What was so WRONG about Kristi Noem's video? Answering a listener.
After I made a video criticizing Kristi Noem's gross and vile antics at a prison in El Salvador, a listener asked this question:

Here's my answer.
