Short Read of the Week for July 8, 2021

This morning we had a clear first choice. If you don’t read anything else this week, at least read this excellent article from the July 5th Seattle Times on the situation in southern Oregon:

Racism, drought and history: Young Native Americans fight back as water disappears in southern Oregon
https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/racism-drought-and-history-young-native-americans-fight-back-as-water-disappears/
[our copy here]

This problem would be so much easier to solve if more people understood it at a human level. People on both sides could gain a lot of that by reading this article.

And with just a little less consensus, we also chose to recommend this insightful analysis of recent history:

Scott Walker’s Wisconsin Paved the Way for Donald Trump’s America

[our copy here]

Will you read and then share these articles with your friends?
