Now on sale! “This is not just the story of the Chinese in America; it’s the story of any number of immigrant groups who have been treated as strangers. It’s the story of our diverse democracy. It’s the story of us.” https://t.co/tNxtlHgdaz

The Islamophobic attacks on the candidate carry the weight of history and the urgency of the present.

One of the most urgent pieces @newyorker has published on Gaza: Clay Dalton, a physician-contributor, on the short and long-term toll of starvation. (Much of what we know comes from the Warsaw Ghetto.) The immediate concern is re-feeding syndrome...

My favorite line in @amandapetrusich's review of "The Life of the Showgirl" is her strategically placed interjection of "O.K.!" (After describing some of the cringey double entendres in "Wood"...)

“The Life of a Showgirl,” the artist’s new album, is full of cringey sexual innuendo, millennial perfectionism, and an obsession with her haters that wears thin.

The opportunity is there, but the Party’s establishment would have to confront the issue that has prompted more recent censorship than any other.

The future of American democracy could depend on whether Christians see themselves as warriors or servants.

I reflected on what it means that Jesus was “full of grace and truth,” Dallas Willard’s “allure of gentleness” in the Christian apologetic, and whether believers will see themselves as warriors or servants.
