Where we are now...

Glorifying the "common sense" of the uneducated. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump’s ignorance of history would be laughable if he wasn’t president. The term was coined by President Woodrow Wilson in his 1916 campaign that pledged to keep America neutral in World War I. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Lost causes.

History is damn sure rhyming. “Storm troopers would stage public disturbances, triggering a response under paragraph two of Article 48, enabling Hitler to suspend the Held government, and install a Reich governor in its place.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“If the president stops chickening out, both Wall Street and the American people won’t be able to escape the consequences of his worst ideas.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

America's trade policy is insane. Don't take my word for it, though. ICYMI www.economist.com/finance-and-...

"Destroying American universities will also limit the growth of a Democratic-trending constituency—fewer educated voters will translate to fewer Democrats in office." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Are there rules regarding the photos here? Specifically, are art nudes acceptable? #photography

Americans don't agree on "most important issue." If we can't how can any problem be solved? www.economist.com/interactive/...

My father would have understood our country today. It's what he and millions of others fought to defeat in WWII.

A fascinating look at what could be Pittsburgh’s next renaissance. wapo.st/4mB9RuQ

True.

Why? “The majority of Americans now believe that the Republican Party best represents the interests of the working class and the poor, the Democratic Party is the party of the wealthy and the elites,” lamented Ken Martin, Democratic National Committee chairman. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
