Short Read of the Week for March 3, 2022

Written By Cole Brecheen

Our first choice this morning, because it makes so much sense when you think about it and it so clearly refutes an important Republican talking-point on the invasion of Ukraine, was this:

Ukraine, Fossil Fuels, Bill McKibben, & You

[our copy here]

Two articles tied for second place. For the evidence it presents that Republican leaders increasingly condone and encourage threats of violence against local government officials:

The Republican War on Local Government

[our copy here]

And for its argument that an important neutral zone can exist in our deeply divided country, and that it is the public library, we chose this:

The Battle for the Soul of the Library
