If the U.S. really does crumble into authoritarian dictatorship, let the history books remember that it was neoliberal/free market capitalism and the conservative movement that caused it. It began with civil rights and the unleashing of money in politics.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

At about this moment, exactly one year ago, my first child Miranda passed into eternity. Her mother and I are spending this moment in prayer and mourning. I published memoir of Miranda in @TheAtlantic "My love for you is deathless." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
