The Price of Intolerance ( via the New York Times)
It’s early yet for a full accounting of the economic damage Alabama has done to itself with its radical new immigration law.

Apologies and quick updates
So sorry I have not really been keeping up with this blog since my London adventure began. To be honest, there is way too much to explore in this city and the past month has been so much of a blur that I couldn’t even fathom missing one new thing because I was writing about a few others :) I can say that I am happy, I adore this city, and I am having an incredible time. Until I find a spare...

Technologically savvy activists used social media as a means of formally organizing...

The next adventure..
I am currently sitting in Logan airport waiting for my flight that will take me across the pond to London. I’ll be there for the next 3ish months, studying at the London School of Economics and Political Science and interning in parliament as well. So far I’m mostly excited to get this flight out of the way and just be there; I’ve never been to Europe. If anyone has any...

I cannot link this article to enough people. It is so refreshing to hear, from Warren Buffet, no less, that Republicans in congress are misguided in their approaches to taxes and deficit reduction.
