Next briefing will come Wednesday, 1/17
Hello News Aficionados,
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, our staff took Monday off. So, as opposed to our usual schedule, this week’s news briefings will be out on Wednesday and Friday rather than Tuesday and Friday.
Wednesday’s briefing will bring you the latest on the Iowa Caucus, how conservatives are finally admitting they hate MLK, and a nightmarish Supreme Court ruling that could soon come on homelessness. You don’t want to miss it, or any of our regular news coverage and commentary. So if you haven’t become a paid subscriber to The Current Affairs News Briefing, it’s simply imperative that you do so this very instant!
We appreciate your patience! In the meantime, please check out our latest web exclusives at currentaffairs.org:
Lily Sanchez on why we should “Remember the Radical King”
Nathan Robinson on John Fetterman and “How to Spot Red Flags”
Ben Burgis on “Why ‘Anti-War’ Right-Wingers Love Henry Kissinger”
Alex Skopic on how “The Shoplifting ‘Epidemic’ is a Lie”
It’s also always a good time to subscribe to our print edition! Our 45th Issue has just been released and contains reflections on the material constraints that impact writing and scientific discovery, what Northern Ireland can teach us about peace, the atrocious labor practices of Dollar General stores, 1950s scifi dystopias, and a look at the disturbing public school of the future. Plus, why you need to break up with capitalism, betting on democracy with Debate Kings, and Karl Marx opens happiness with Coca-Cola.
