As Prince of Wales Charles stepped over the political line to stop redevelopment of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and famously remarked that post-war architects had done more damage to London than the Luftwaffe. This is not an accident.

The DOJ managed to do something remarkable with the Epstein files. They’ve over-protected the powerful and under-protected the victims. I wrote about what we know, what’s still redacted, and why the surveillance of Congress should alarm everyone: open.substack.com/pub/logicall...

Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real.
A photo of Rev. Jesse Jackson speaking during an interview in July 1983.Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all 
of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real. 

A son of Greenville, South Carolina, Reverend Jackson first rose to the national stage as one of the young leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. 
His presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 electrified millions of Americans and showed them what could be possible. From Washington, DC to the Bay Area, from the Mississippi Delta to Appalachia, from South Africa to the South Side of Chicago, Reverend Jackson gave a voice to people who were removed from power and politics. He let us know our voices mattered. He instilled in us that we were somebody. And he widened the path for generations to follow in his footsteps and lead.

Compared with a year ago, White Protestants and religiously unaffiliated adults now have significantly less confidence that Trump acts ethically in office.  For example, 26% of White nonevangelical Protestants are extremely or very confident Trump acts ethically in office, down from 38%.  And the share of religious “nones” who have a lot of confidence in Trump’s ethics now stands at 10%, down from 16%.  Confidence in Trump’s ethics has remained low among Black Protestants.
