Part of the reason I remain optimistic is that overreach is a major accelerator in radicalization for people who would otherwise tune out. The Boston Massacre happened six years before the colonies would call for Revolution. Bleeding Kansas preceded the Civil War. People react when threatened.

I call this the Confederacy Paradox. They separated from the Union explicitly to avoid the abolition of slavery, something that wasn’t even on the table! But by leaving the Union, they ensured a political backlash against slavery that would aim to dismantle it as the core of the rebellion.

Only one of them is a fascist and the other is pretty adept at governing within the Constitution. GOP’s Project 2025 is enough to make me run in the other direction. And Harris is so good.

If we are so polarized as a society that there are fewer persuadable voters in the middle, does that mean Dems need to turn out people who rarely vote in order yo win?

Will Lewis must go. The Washington Post publisher’s actions cast doubt on his newsroom’s credibility. | Press Watchpresswatchers.org Publishers are not supposed to interfere with their newsrooms’ coverage of issues in which they have a personal conflict of interest. Lewis crossed the line.

Then again, why is an Egyptian elder driving an Uber and living with roommates? What brought him to that place in his life?

Noooo!! Any chance of it moving to another platform? We need the context of history now more than ever and this is a stellar podcast. (Plus what will we discuss over dinner without it?)

If white women like me were reliable allies, that could work. But we fail ourselves and each other at the voting booth more often than not. That may be changing at last but in time for 2024?
