Perhaps no other word in the English language has shifted in meaning like “justice.” It has become one of the central cultural disagreements dividing families, churches, and communities. Just saying the word conjures into the mind everything from police brutality to LGBT+ issues to abortion to labor laws. In Right Thing, Right Now: Good Values. Good Character. Good Deeds, Ryan Holiday, best-selling author and media strategist, approaches justice as a form of common sense. He’s not entirely off base. Everyone in the modern world (religious or not) affirms the goodness of justice. However, as Alasdair MacIntyre shows in Whose Justice? Which Rationality?, agreement on what justice entails and how to achieve it may be unobtainable. As Holiday’s argument progresses from an emphasis on personal integrity to communal equity to personal spirituality rooted in the oneness of human beings, the diversity of conceptions of justice among worldviews emerges. It quickly becomes clear that Holiday’s Stoicism, though increasingly popular among young men, presents a false morality that’s unable to support the justice he hopes to encourage.

Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19th, marks a pivotal moment in American history—the end of slavery in 1865. This day not only commemorates freedom and emancipation but also serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles for racial equality and justice. The importance of Juneteenth extends beyond its historical significance, calling attention to the need for comprehensive justice reform. True justice requires addressing the systemic inequalities that continue to persist, ensuring that freedom is fully realized for all. By recognizing Juneteenth and advocating for justice reform, we honor the resilient spirit of those who fought for freedom and commit to building a more equitable society. #Juneteenth #JusticeForAll

A thoughtful article by a left-leaning critic of David French’s vision of a post-secession America. The author correctly identifies the problem with French’s prediction: it’s too optimistic! This critic is right when he focuses on the lack of protection for minorities in a post-secession America. The real problem is that in a post-secession America, the majority in each part won’t give a damn about protection for the minority in their midst, irrespective of whether the minority is left-leaning or right-leaning. But isn’t that the point of a post-secession America?

As we celebrate the 4th of July, it's important to reflect on the meaning of freedom and recognize the distinction between this day and Juneteenth, often referred to as our second Independence Day. While the Declaration of Independence in 1776 marked the freedom of the 13 colonies from British rule, it did not extend liberty to all individuals. True freedom for Black people came two years after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, with the final enforcement of emancipation occurring on June 19, 1865 – a day we now honor as Juneteenth. Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of resilience, hope, and the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all. As we commemorate these significant moments in history, let’s celebrate our progress and continue to strive for a future where freedom and inclusion are realities for everyone. Join us in recognizing both Independence Days and committing to the work of building a more inclusive and equitable society. Together, we can make a difference. #4thOfJuly #Juneteenth #FreedomForAll #CarloAndNikaWhiteFoundation #InclusionUncomplicated #Equality #Hope #Resilience

FREEDOM IS UNDER ATTACK! Congress introduced a bill misnamed the “Equality Act” that will unleash the most radical, anti-religious discrimination America has yet faced. It attacks religious freedom, free speech, privacy, and women’s rights—all in one bill! The impact of it will be widespread—affecting churches; religious colleges and universities; public, private, and Christian schools; curriculum; religious and private organizations; employers; employees; individuals; foster care and adoption; shelters; local, state, and federal entities; privacy; women’s rights; and much more! https://lnkd.in/gtEBritu

On Juneteenth it is important to reflect on where we have been and what still needs to be done.
On Juneteenth, we honor the end of slavery in the U.S. while recognizing the ongoing fight for true equality. Although the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in 1863, it took over two years for that news to reach the last remaining enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. While we've made progress, systemic racism persists. At Griesing Mazzeo Law, we stand against all forms of oppression and injustice. As a women-owned firm, promoting diversity, inclusion, and equal rights is central to our mission. We wish everyone a reflective Juneteenth as we continue marching towards true liberation. #juneteenth

To the Editor, AFTER THE RULING IN NEW YORK AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY BUSINESSES , I HAD TO SIT DOWN AND WRITE THIS LETTER TO THE EDITOR. LET ME PERFECTLY CLEAR-THIS LETTER IS NOT ABOUT WHAT POLITICAL PARTY ONE ALIGNS. I DO NOT CARE. THE RULING ITSELF RAISES ALARMING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE APPEARANCES OF INTEGRITY OF OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. THE CORNERSTONE OF ANY FAIR AND JUST LEGAL SYSTEM IS IMPARTIALITY. IF OUR JUDGES ALLOW PERSONAL PREJUDICES TO INFLUENCE THEIR DECISIONS, IT UNDERMINES THE VERY FOUNDATION OF JUSTICE IN AMERICA. IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT IF THE DEFENDANT IN THIS CASE WERE A CHRISTIAN, A MUSLIM, A JEW, A BLACK PERSON, A MEMBER OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY, OR AN ASIAN ETC. – AND THE JUDGE RULED BASED ON THEIR OWN BIASES. SUCH A SCENARIO FLIES IN THE FACE OF THE PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH OUR CONSTITUTION WAS BUILT. IN THE HEBREW BIBLE, THE TORAH, IN EXODUS CHAPTER 18-MOSES FATHER IN LAW , JETHRO, THE CHIEF OF MIDIAN ADVISES MOSES THROUGH THE WORDS OF G-D IN LINE 21 THAT MOSES SHALL APPOINT JUDGES TO SETTLE MATTERS BROUGHT BY THE PEOPLE. G-D KNEW THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE EVIL AND THEREFORE G-D WAS VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE JUDGES. “YOU SHALL CHOOSE OUT OF THE ENTIRE NATION MEN OF SUBSTANCE. G-D FEARERS, MEN OF TRUTH, WHO HATE MONETARY GAIN” THE RECENT EVENTS HIGHLIGHT THE URGENT NEED FOR A MOVEMENT TO UPHOLD THE INTEGRITY OF OUR JUDICIARY. JUDGES WHO FAIL TO ADHERE TO THE PRINCIPLES OUTLINED IN OUR CONSTITUTION, WHETHER DUE TO POLITICAL BIAS OR MORAL PREJUDICE, MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE CREDIBILITY OF OUR LEGAL SYSTEM DEPENDS ON IT. CRAIG TAYLOR CHERRY HILL, NJ 08003
