YAWP

🧵 some personal context as I'm posting about Israel-Iran:

I grew up in a household that was not at all religious.

My maternal grandparents were Mormons from Salt Lake City who objected to the intolerant elements of LDS doctrine and were excommunicated by the church prior to my birth; they later were active for many years in their local Unitarian Universalist congregation. They were the kind of social justice activists who pushed for fair housing laws and would go to the aid of Black folks who had run-ins with racists in a nearby Indiana burg whose "sundown town" reputation persisted up until as recently as 2017. My mom was cut from that same cloth.
