Spring 2025

How Did We, Collectively, Allow This To Happen?

There's an abundance of discussion right now - in person and online - around how we arrived at this alarming point in America, with blame being pointed in every direction. Republicans blame "wokeism", DEI, and the breakdown of the traditional family. Liberals blame third party voters, nonvoters, and anyone who didn't fall in line with the Democratic Party in the last election. Progressives wonder how anyone didn't see this coming. So what really led to the current stage of American history, and how did we, collectively, allow it to happen?

Fall 2024

The American people face societal decay on multiple fronts. They’ve lost their iconic imagination, paralyzed by fear and fed AI dreams from dull billionaires. There’s failing infrastructure magnified by an obscene lack of climate change preparedness, exemplified in the massive destruction caused by natural disasters. Add to that the state of increasingly unaffordable health care, crippling student loan debt, exorbitant housing costs, lack of affordable childcare, and stagnant wages. The timeline for change is long. Realistically, the work of alignment on core values as a society and overhaul of the electoral system will take time and collective effort.
