I grew up in the shadow of war and the holocaust. I chose to become an American because of the actions it had taken in ending the war, rebuilding Europe, and keeping it free and democratic. I love the idea of America. But all that is now threatened.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

New piece on Shein, the sort of Singaporean, but really Chinese, fast fashion company that is everywhere but no one knows much about. How the exceedingly opaque company and its billionaire founder became a Chinese success story realized in America: theatlantic.com/international/…

I wrote about a new account of 9/11 and its aftermath, but came to see this claustrophobic, pessimistic book as a symptom itself of what the last twenty years have wrought on the left. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

The debate happened while wildfires burned in four states and Louisiana braced for a possible hurricane landfall. No one wants to talk about it, but the next president is going to be a climate-disaster president. The material miseries will be their problem theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Russell Moore: "When we are willing to see children terrorized rather than stop telling lies about their families, we should ask who abducted our consciences. That’s especially true for those of us who, like me, claim to be followers of Jesus of Nazareth." theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Tomorrow, I'm interviewing Yuval Noah Harari at the Lincoln Theater in DC about his remarkable new book "Nexus" on our new information networks. As he writes, "The potential benefits of this network are enormous. The potential downside is the destruction of human civilization."

I watched what happened in Poland when a legitimate, democratically elected government tried to curb judicial independence. Could it happen in the US too? theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

"Ashli Babbitt’s mother and the wife of a notorious January 6 rioter are at the center of a new mythology on the right. They are also my neighbors." I think this is one of the best, and possibly most important, pieces you will read this year. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Last week, I interviewed Anne Dover, an elections official in deep-red Georgia, who worries about chaos and violence if Trump loses her state in November. But many election deniers mean well, Anne added at the end of our call: Her own husband is one. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

This paper shows having a short conversation with an AI can get people who believed in a conspiracy theory to change their beliefs & this lasts for months So AIs can prompt changes in deeply held beliefs, with big implications. And they used logic & discussion, not manipulation
