Weekly Roundup - 09/07/24

This week: In her introduction to our Florida issue, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel delves into what makes her home state the frontline for American autocracy, and the fight against it.

In the latest episode of our On the Nose podcast, Angel interviews Shane Burley and Ben Lorber about how to navigate online trends in antisemitism in an atmosphere of alarmism and weaponization.

We are also sending a new poem, “Hero vs. Common Fate” by Harryette Mullen, introduced by culture editor Claire Schwartz.

After the recovery of six dead hostages from Gaza sparked widespread protest, we are sharing Israel/Palestine fellow Maya Rosen’s article about the uphill struggle of hostage’s families to break through to their government.
