How endangered is American democracy? I talked to @mikeduncan, the genius behind the Revolutions and History of Rome podcasts, about how likely it is that the Jan. 6 Capitol riots marked the peak of danger for American democracy—or just the beginning. vice.com/en/article/7k9nde/i…

The rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans is recent since the start of COVID, but the marginalization is embedded in this country’s history

After Trump pulled out of Paris Climate Accord using the same dumb line, the city of Pittsburgh announced it would be keeping to its Paris climate pledges/targets.

By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.

This account, from D.C. police who spoke to @phscoop, is the closest thing I've read to what I remember from 1/6: “We weren’t battling 50 or 60 rioters in this tunnel... We were battling 15,000 people. It looked like a medieval battle scene.” washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
