Mike Klonsky's Edu/Pol

Fred Klonsky in Retirement

Pensions, unions, politics, retirement. I also post my art.

Once again, Fred Klonsky wins the deobfuscator-of-the-week award. That's stripping away the layers of Debt Ceiling BS, revealing that 'facts are stubborn things.'

- Carl Davidson

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shares thoughts about sports, politics, and popular culture and how they define America.

I pick stuff from Kareem every week now for LeftLinks. His political wisdom keeps growing, even if age (the plight of us all) might take a toll on his other skills.

Informed commentary on healthcare, public policy and politics

- Carl Davidson

The Bulwark

Analysis and reporting on politics and culture in America. Home to Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller, Bill Kristol, JVL and more. No partisan loyalties. No tribal prejudices.

I'm a socialist and The Bulwark is certainly not. They are never-Trumpers from the GOP. That means they are not stupid, and even think well at times. They're antifascists, and worth a read.

- Carl Davidson
