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:

[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:
