We can be in denial about anything, especially when there's a bunch of trusted people encouraging us. This week in the newsletter - jaymichaelson.substack.com.

This is the Great Republican Lie: convincing working-class people to vote against their economic interests by showering them in patriotism, right-wing cultural war, scapegoating, and nativism. This isn't populism - it's fake populism. It's a con.

Look at the precipitous drop in the wealthiest Americans' effective tax rates thanks to Reagan, and then again thanks to Trump. That is the story of the last fifty years.

Government is intentionally resource-starved leading to more precarity for the poor, we've entered a time of greater inequality than even in the Gilded Age, and the middle class is squeezed out.

I love integrating spiritual practice and political activism, and this is the perfect example.

The hit film #civilwar issues a dire warning about America. But it leaves out (in part intentionally) the bad actors who are currently making things worse. New in the newsletter this week - jaymichaelson.substack.com .

This week in the Both/And newsletter: @joerogan recently quipped on the @joeroganexperience that "we need Jesus," reflecting the widely-held belief that our society has lost its moral moorings. This is a serious concern, and if progressives can't speak to it, they'll face an uphill battle against those who can. Up now at jaymichaelson.substack.com .
