Questions, questions
Things to ponder at the close of the week
Is an immigration raid at a baseball game — American?
With a new war in the making, does Tehran face the fate of Gaza?
What does it mean for a president to imagine a never-ending work week on Juneteenth?
Is the National Park Service already policing the past at Manzanar?
Is anyone really against “abundance” — or have Democrats simply still not figured out how to talk to working-class Americans?
Does anyone care about the further dismantling of 14th Amendment protections when the immediate victims are transgender kids?
How safe is nuclear power these days?
Has an executive order handed the VA a broad license to discriminate?
Is there still enough fight in the courts to restrain Donald Trump?
With a new Covid variant on the rise, will there be any guidance from Secretary Kennedy’s CDC?
Love the question about Abundance. That whole “movement” has been bothering me and now I can see it as lack of class awareness around power dynamics, from the mouths of people who do not make a living from their own physical labor.
I loved the article about the Democrats by Harold Meyerson. It’s exactly where I am hoping for the Democrats (or some NEW party to go). I think he describes where we can hope to unify workers on the Right AND the Left. I found the debate he described between abundance and regulation to be a bit confusing. I wish he had said more about it.
This is precisely where I’d like to see our politics go. I’m afraid that this is a very awkward forum for that discussion, though (the chat on a list of many possible topics).
