For Salamatu, terror was a way of life. In an earlier wave of violence, the jihadists had swarmed her Nigerian church, shooting the pastor in cold blood. Then, she says quietly, they came for her family. “My husband told me we should pray,” Salamatu remembers of that horrible night. “We said a short prayer and then ‘Amen.’ As soon as we said ‘Amen,’ we heard people pulling at the handles of our gate.” Quickly, her husband ushered her, the children, and grandchildren upstairs. “Don’t cry,” he told them. “Don’t make a noise — not even if you hear gunshots.” He walked outside to face the armed men, and it was the last time she saw him alive.

However, since it applied to all healthcare facilities in the city, over 150 buffer zones were created where American citizens couldn’t exercise their right to free speech.

Maryland’s Montgomery County Board of Education is denying my husband and me the ability to exempt our daughter from storybooks and instructional materials that promote a narrow and ideologically driven view of gender and sexuality. The school even refuses to inform us when these books are introduced or discussed, leaving us in the dark. Tomorrow, we will take our fight—Mahmoud v. Taylor—to the Supreme Court, asking for the restoration of our fundamental right to guide our child’s education in alignment with our faith.

It can be easy to dismiss online trends as fads, but the online movement to homestead appears more lasting than that. It is based on a natural desire to have a family economy that represents a mutual effort between man and woman or adult and child to build and nurture a home. There’s something about a son feeding and watering a chicken that the dad butchers and the mom cooks that’s about more than aesthetic farmhouse photos on Instagram. It’s about each member of the family having a direct stake in the economic collaboration of home life.
