Liberal Currents will never hand it to a man likely to kill untold number of children with his anti-vaccine anti-science crank activism from HHS. We will never throw trans people under the bus to score political points. Help elevate our voice to compete with The Atlantic’s gofund.me/bc470b67b

This is why I read and support Liberal Currents; a full throated defense of science, human rights (which include trans rights), and the courage to believe those things are worth fighting for.

Excellent question and it so happens that back in August our editors picked five books each to make a reading list: www.liberalcurrents.com/the-liberal-...
Now, at the time, we did that as a post for patrons only.
But you know what, let's make it public today. 🍾

This is a really great review of Sunstein's new book: www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalism-o...
