Mother Jones - March/April 2021

في هذه القضية

The twice-impeached president is out of office, but the next generation of Republicans
has moved in to fill the void. In “The Apprentice,” Tim Murphy reports that Josh Hawley
might still have a clear future despite having raised a fist in solidarity with the Capitol
insurrectionists. Voters in Alabama may have helped Democrats gain control of the
Senate, but in “Tyranny of the Minority,” Ari Berman shows how the fight for democracy
remains. And Silicon Valley has released its own poison on democracy: “How Facebook
Broke Us” by Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery outlines the social network’s
deliberate use of its monopolistic power to benefit conservative publishers and
consistently guide users to extremist groups. Will tech help us really understand each
other? Sinduja Rangarajan has her doubts in “Lost in Translation,” writing of her family’s
struggle to get their digital assistant to understand more accents that don’t sound like
stereotypes of white Americans.
