Published 2 years, 8 months ago
Description
Welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse, executive director of Inequality Media Civic Action (and my former student), where we look back on the highs, lows, and even lowers of the week just ended. Today we consider:
— Trump, DeSantis, and the Republican race for 2024. What’s the future of American as the GOP goes authoritarian?
— Young people and what they’re inheriting. Our children, grandchildren, and students — what are they making of all this?
— The existential crises of guns, climate change, systemic racism, and democracy: How to cope? How to avoid panic? What can be done?
