Fight to the ‘Death’ and Go ‘Hungry’ at Hunger Games Camp

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…ave come to a summer camp near you, in the great state of Florida. Yes, in Florida, the land where the real death of an African-American child can be excused in a court of law, the fake “deaths” of predominantly white children are making quite a lot of headlines. In the meantime, as these children were undergoing pretend suffering at summer camp, hunger striking inmates at Guantanamo Bay—off the coast of Florida—were experiencing very genuine suff…

Palin Goes ‘Hopey-Changey,’ But Don’t Call it Political

By Julie Ingersoll

…icker to platform, her examples became increasingly, explicitly political. Florida had introduced “Choose Life!” vanity license plates whose revenue would go to organizations that promote adoption—but only those that do not discuss abortion as an alternative. She lauded Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice, and former member of congress, Charles Canady for “shepherding the ‘partial-birth abortion’ bill through Congress,” and called for better leade…

Trump is Helping the Economy… The Apocalypse Economy

By Jonathan Root

…e park was nearly twenty times larger than Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando. It featured campgrounds, an RV park, a water park, a television studio, an amphitheater, a 500-room hotel, shopping centers, and restaurants. In 1986, the park welcomed six million visitors, making it the most attended non-Disney theme park in America. The bonanza didn’t last. In 1987, news leaked that Bakker had had a one-time sexual encounter with a 21-year-old i…

Are We Living Through World War III?

By Haroon Moghul

…that this was primarily, or exclusively, politically-motivated violence. A number of commentators seem to believe Mateen was struggling with his own sexuality. But Cohen does not hesitate to assign Mateen to larger, world-historical forces: Islam is in epochal crisis. Its Sunni and Shiite branches are mired in violent confrontation. Its adjustment to the modern world has proved faltering and agonized enough to produce a metastasizing strain of vio…

Our Dance Clubs, Our Churches

By Peter Laarman

…aise and yet more praise for all of God’s blessings. So yes, this thing in Orlando is difficult to take, and it feels personal. There were goosebumps when I woke to the news, and there were unbidden tears when I discovered that a young friend’s college classmate was in that club when the slaughter began. I’m not ready for the reflexive liberal things that we do: the sign-on statements, the interfaith vigils, the finger pointing and the placing of…

An American Muslim Abroad, Or, Things I Saw in Dubai

By Haroon Moghul

…h buildings, starting right around the same time. Talk about luxury on the cheap; it’s hard to deny a feeling of similarity. (The tower is to the Burj as a certain toupee is to hair: might the Trump Tower inadvertently mimic an Islamic motif?) The regal twin palm trees in the foreground are the world’s tallest, at some 3,500 feet each. Recently a falling coconut crushed an entire apartment complex, punching a massive hole that has filled up with…

Behind a Recent Stunt in Idaho Lies a Dangerous Theocratic Movement

By Chrissy Stroop

…serious danger to women and trans men, were introduced by Herndon. In her phone interview with RD, Abbott brought up the December 22 service as an example of likely illegal political organizing by a tax-exempt church, which she says is one of her biggest concerns. A self-described “fourth-generation Bonner County girl” who forthrightly states, “I deeply care about consensus issues; I hate political parties,” Abbot referred to the year of Trump’s…

Videos and Billboards and Yiddish, Oh, My!

By Sarah Posner

…Romney this time. A recent poll by the American Jewish Committee showed Obama’s support among Florida’s Jewish voters running at 69% to Romney’s 25%, with a margin of error of 6%. Obama won 76% of the Florida Jewish vote in 2008. My favorite part of the campaign, though, is this Florida billboard which reads, “Obama. . . Oy Vey!!” Isn’t that what Jews are saying about Adelson?…

Tea Party “Constitutionalism” on Abortion

By Julie Ingersoll

…, by requiring that two physicians agree that her life is in danger. The Florida Right to Life Act, sponsored in the previous legislature by North Florida representative and Baptist minister, Charles Van Zant, asserts that the US Supreme court does not have jurisdiction over abortion because the Constitution doesn’t give the Court “power to determine moral questions on behalf of the citizens of any state without their consent.” Van Zant is claim…

Shucking Off The ’50s. And the ’40s. And the…

By Daniel Schultz

…to political gridlock? It’s worth a thought, says Digby. I’m not so sure. Florida has an interesting thesis that what he calls “structural factors” may cause more of a swing in the 2010 elections than “cyclical factors” such as the economy. But I’m just not sure you can do that with pre-election polling data like he does. More broadly, I think all of this talk about “creative class states” and “working class states” and this complex and that spec…
