The Week's Recommended Reading on Substack:
writes that the Take Back Our Border convoy rally in Dripping Springs, Texas speaker lineup “was full of sovereign citizens, Christian nationalists, and antisemites. One speaker was Michael Yon, who spent his time screaming antisemitism into the microphone. The rally took place outside, close to a street, surrounded by businesses and homes — people around could definitely hear him.” writes that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton “is a disaster for the people of Texas, particularly LGBTQ children and their families. But he’s also a terrifying Ghost of Christmas Future for the country as a whole if decent Americans don’t get out and vote in November. The parallels to Donald Trump are chilling.” writes that Texas state Sen. Mayes Middleton “doesn’t give a damn about non-Christian students because he knows his bill would benefit Christians (who have the infrastructure to create and ordain chaplains) far more than any other group. In fact, his bill didn’t even require those chaplains to have any formal training, which means helping students isn’t even a priority for the Republicans who passed the bill.” writes that “the aggression and vitriol expressed by predominantly young men over a beautiful woman “in their territory” says way more about those men than it does about Taylor Swift. You don’t have to be a Swiftie to understand this social problem.” writes that “of course, MAGA has been preoccupied with a pop culture force even bigger than Elmo: Taylor Swift. Almost overnight, Swift has become a singular obsession in the MAGA Cinematic Universe.” writes that “We tend to view Black history as isolated points on a timeline instead of a coherent and continuous story. When we look at Black history as a set of separate facts without their proper context, we can miss the significance — and the beauty — of it.”
