In today's political climate, ethical accountability is too often replaced by ethnic scapegoating. Rather than confront corruption or policy failure, some leaders redirect their anger toward immigrants, black and brown communities, or religious and cultural others. This tactic divides working people while allowing powerful interests to operate unchecked. My faith compels me to reject that politics completely. Justice-centered governance names the real sources of harm--unchecked greed, weak oversight, and captured institutions--and works to repair them.
