Phil Balla, yes we lost a battle. But the war or struggle for justice and equality is never lost. There are no permanent victories or defeats in this permanent struggle. If Harris won, do you think the struggle would be over? Of course not. There is another battle or midterm election in 2 years, there are court cases to be waged before then. jimbuie.substack.com/p/…

Elections are won and lost, every round. Phil's battle about the humanities likely misses most of the point. You can't run modern civilization without highly developed institutions - economic, medical, technical in so many ways, science itself is beholden to elite developed and maintained knowledge. You need an education system which meets all those needs. No disagreement from me that the humanities are important.
Frank. Trying to win any battle other than saving Democracy in the United States is window dressing. It is akin to George Washington stopping to paint the bow of his boat as he was crossing the Delaware.
Thank you for staying hopeful, this is what we need more than ever. Having a goal is very important!
