Short Read of the Week for October 14, 2021

So many interesting articles to choose from this morning, but after a good discussion it became clear that, if you don’t read anything else this week, you should at least read this:

More Republican Centrists Plan to Work With Democrats Until Threat of Autocracy Passes

[our copy here]

These Republicans think the threat is serious enough that they are willing to work with us. The question for us is this: do we think it is serious enough that we are willing to work with them? And what does that mean, exactly? We didn’t decide this morning, but we agreed that this needs more attention and discussion.

We also chose to recommend this very clear sign of light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel:

Here’s what it will take to end the covid-19 pandemic
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/06/what-it-will-take-end-covid-19-pandemic-leana-wen/
[our copy here]

Note that both of these articles should be easy to share with all your friends, regardless of their political leanings. Will you do that? And will you join us next week?
