The other is the aforementioned West Wing in scrubs: a fantasy about decent people doing noble work organized around a worldview that believes deeply in expertise, institutions, and the power of good intentions.
‘The Pitt’ Has Entered Its ‘West Wing’ Era in Season Two
Multimillionaires formed the Foundation for Excellence to fund Kalamazoo, but critics say their power threatens democracy
Immigration isn’t breaking our society. We are.
When rehabilitation is the focus, reoffending rates drop
In political violence, Americans see a future of order and control.
Pointing out MAGA hypocrisy is a chump’s game; likewise, looking for consistency, integrity, or the spark of human charity behind Speaker Johnson’s tortoiseshell frames.
Roman Surovtsev is like many others who were detained at their regularly scheduled ICE check-ins. What makes his case different is that his wife has marshaled a team of lawyers on his behalf.
Judges describe a campaign of firings and interference which threatens the system’s independence.
Within the film’s grim reflection of America’s ongoing violence, there’s a sneakily optimistic vision of survival.
If there’s anything One Battle After Another wants us to take away from its reflection of America’s ongoing violence, it’s this: that whatever this country promises us, good or bad, we can make a promise too. A promise to each other, for one battle after another.
Five years after the George Floyd protests, many liberals blame “wokeness” for stifling open debate. So why can’t they handle being disagreed with?
But editorial indulgence has resulted in such a sludge of footnotes and block quotes that the eye must often dismount and continue on foot.
Instead of cutting services to cut costs, one rural hospital plans to thrive by offering more.
Building a new, locally owned hospital isn’t a scalable way to help every community where hospitals owned by private-equity firms are providing less health care. The particular combination of ingredients in Riverton Medical District’s recipe baked into something resembling a miracle. But to Gose’s mind, following Riverton’s example doesn’t require building a community hospital in every rural county in the country. What it requires is people with knowledge of, and investment in, one specific community making decisions for that community—the exact opposite of the private-equity ethos of consolidation at all costs.
The gravest danger to American democracy isn’t an excess of vitriol—it’s the false promise of civility.
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Ozymandias
The socialist Twitch streamer explains how his media diet inspires him to win over young viewers to his side of the internet.
Gaining that level of power and prominence does have a capacity to kind of stunt your radical approach to the world, or your revolutionary fervor goes away when you become very comfortable. It’s something that I also think about in my own personal experience.
A focus on economic disadvantage is improving admissions for students of all races.
