The Great American Military Rebrand
A new defense bill crammed with political pork smashes records, but you likely didn’t hear the news, because War is Good again.
Political Hope
Maybe democracy resides in unofficial, informal civic structures, extra-legal vernacular institutions, and place-based communities. When the people are strong and determined, when they have a sense of themselves as a people, when they know their own power
