I don’t think anybody’s more or less political than anybody else. To suggest otherwise is, it seems to me, a rhetorical trick for keeping people catastrophically unaware of their own moral power. And yet, there is such a thing as becoming politicized. Becoming politicized means realizing that, while you weren’t thinking about “politics,” politics was thinking about you. I think a lot of people who look like me have experienced this realization anew (or perhaps for the first time) over the last few days & years.
I am always impressed how someone can write so well to touch someone deeply as I was reading your article about Justin. Without a doubt this is your gift, your intellectual way of putting words into your writing. I am very proud and happy to come to know you. Your work is phenomenal! More blessings to you and your family.
When I have this and read the title, I immediately thought: “Justin Jones.“ When I scrolled down and saw the photograph of him… Grin!!
I met Justin in February 2015, when I became involved in the advocacy for Insure Tennessee. I had immediate respect for him, and appreciated his willingness to let this much older pastor hang with him and learn effective protest from him.
I have contributed to many political campaigns over my life. His is the first that I have made a monthly commitment to. That’s how much I believe in Justin. He is the realest of “ the real deal.”

Thank you so much for this essay supporting him!
Mr Dark,
Enjoy your work although I'm also reading " in it to win it" and I find that idea, of being in service outside political thinking, to be very hopeful. I wrote a blog post about the roe v wade decision trying to harmonize both sides and my own view as a Christian, let me know what you think https://fatherofzoomers.substack.com/p/pro-life-and-pro-choice?r=jejuu&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
