Mother Jones - January/February 2023

في هذه القضية

While those who love democracy had good cause to celebrate much of the results of the November midterm elections, D.C.. bureau chief David Corn warns that the ongoing threat to American democracy will come from an unrepentant House, given that Republicans were able to eek out a slight majority in Congress. Relatedly, the battleground state of Wisconsin illustrates that the fight for fair representation is not nearly over. Also, Gabbriel Schivone writes about how when Officer Jervis Middleton was placed in an uncomfortable position where he had to make a choice between his community and his badge, it did not go well. And, David Alm reports on a website full of kids that became a magnet for predators. What does that mean for the future of tech?
