From Slavery to Genocide: The American Tradition of Hideous Moral Compromise
There are many differences between myself and a typical Republican. One of them: I do not shed a single tear if some monuments to General Robert E. Lee and other Confederate-era figures are being removed.

Action Required
The complacently of so many you would have thought at least attempt ignite a national movement in the context of what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence is too alarming not to ignore any longer.

False Spring. Content Warning.
Two cardinals and a small flock of house sparrows were the first to celebrate the arrival of spring on Wednesday morning. The sun was shining and rattling bikes scooted over cobblestone streets. Dogs and their people met at the corners without their winter jackets. The biting cold had passed and the buzz of warmth was in the air. Beer mugs and plates clanked at corner cafes like windchimes, and windows were opened to blow winter’s dust through the back door.
