Sunday Afternoon Links
This and that for your Sunday reading. - Talia Lavin writes about the value of shifting the Overton window to enable serious discussion of higher tax rates on the people who have far more money than they could possibly need: I think about how we view the rich, so often born into the aeries of luxury, as inherently deserving of their station. They’re coddled by their birth and by our tax code. They’re buoyed by our admiration: They’re “makers” and “doers” and winners of philanthropy awards, because they have enough money ― parked in ways such that it swells and effloresces into yet ... more »

Ways to Change the World
This is about ITV and Channel Four. Turn away now if you’re exclusively interested in bias on the actual BBC. Did anyone see Rachel Riley and Krishnan Guru-Murthy: the Podcast “Ways to Change the World” ? She’s clever and pretty and she’s not afraid to swear at George Galloway on Twitter. What’s not to like? The first thing that struck me here was that she was extraordinarily late in the day in becoming - may I use the word ‘woke’? (i.e., alert to injustice in society, especially racism.)

What If Bernie Doesn't Run? Are There Other Good Candidates Who Could Beat Trump And Govern America Progressively?
Short answer: absolutely. If you've visited the DWT ActBlue page this year, you've probably noticed that we're still raising money for Bernie-- as well as for a small handful of other non-presidential 2020 candidates. I know a lot of people in Bernie-world. When I talk with them I ask if he's running. Everyone tells me the same thing-- maybe, although, lately, the odds (guesses?) have been better than 50/50. But what if he decides to not jump into the snake-pit? Well, we have an on-going series, The Worst Democraps Who Want To Be President and none of them fit the bill. I'm still ... more »
