SCOTUS: THE DAMAGE IS DONE
[[link removed]]
By Chuck Idelson
Common Dreams
The Court has unambiguously embraced a principle goal of solidifying
in legal precedent pro-corporate neoliberal policies that drove much
of traditional Republican philosophy, especially since the first days
of the Reagan administration.
FRANCE’S RISING RIGHT BRINGS RACIST RESURGENCE
[[link removed]]
By Al Mayadeen English
Human rights organizations in France have raised serious concerns over
a dramatic rise in racist sentiments within the country, attributing
much of the blame to the right-wing National Rally (NR) party. A
recent survey conducted by the National Consultative Commission on
Human Rights (CNCDH) evaluates the NR's role in promoting nationalism
through anti-immigration policies.
THE PROMISE OF PUBLIC POWER

By Daniel Goulden
Convergence
Offshore wind power can play a key role in the East Coast’s energy
transition. The Inflation Reduction Act can help build it. Public
ownership can keep it accountable. But organizers trying to make this
promise real face an unholy alliance that is united by a false concern
for whales.
TRUMP’S NEW INSULT: “WEAK PALESTINIAN”
[[link removed]]
By Juan Cole
Informed Comment
It is unprecedented for someone to call a sitting US president a
“Palestinian,” and the use of the term as an insult is a measure
of how racist American society is.
AIPAC IS JUST WARMING UP

By Emily Ngo, Madison Fernandez and Nick Reisman
Politico
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the country’s leading
pro-Israel group, made Bowman’s race against moderate Democrat
George Latimer the most expensive House primary in history. And now
Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), another member of the progressive Squad,
could also be ousted when she faces St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley
Bell in an Aug. 6 primary.
SOUTHERN BAPTIST WOMEN ANSWER CHALLENGE
[[link removed]]
By Eliza Griswold
The New Yorker
The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant body in the
United States, rejected a proposed ban on allowing women to be called
“pastor.” The S.B.C. has officially barred women from leading
churches since 2000. Yet this ban would have gone further, threatening
to “disfellowship” churches that allow women to use the title of
pastor in any way.

PROJECT 2025 TARGETS ORGANIZING RIGHTS
[[link removed]]
By Aurelia Glass
Center for American Progress
Workers are winning a greater percentage of NLRB-overseen union
elections than at any point in the past 15 years as Biden
administration appointees help protect workers' right to
organize—but a conservative policy plan offers a blueprint for
eroding the NLRB's ability to protect organizing workers.

GEN Z VOTERS WATCH THE DEBATE

By Samuel Larreal and Tori Gantz

At watch parties in Miami and Phoenix, young Americans expressed both
apathy and deep concern about the election while watching President
Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump face off in CNN's Atlanta
studios. After a rambling debate that left no clear-cut winner, young
voters say they feel left on their own in this election, with no real
option that represents their vision for the future.
