O My America: Coffee and a Donut
by Lawrence Bush
The Aftermath. After three minutes of sitting and eating. A paper bag, a paper receipt, a paper napkin, a crumpled tissue paper, a plastic cup, a plastic cup cover, a plastic straw, a paper straw wrapper, all bound for the garbage can and, eventually, the ocean. Never again, my Beloved Planet. Never again.
I’m Arielle Angel, editor-at-large of Jewish Currents. Before you go, there’s something I need to ask.
We’ve seen over and over how the mainstream media falters in telling stories on our beats—whether it’s antisemitism, Israel/Palestine in American politics, Jewish identity, or the American left. At Jewish Currents we’re committed to uncompromising analysis and longform reporting on these issues and more—stories you won’t find anywhere else. In a media landscape that obscures injustice and flattens discussion, we’re changing the conversation. But we need you.
If you believe in this work, please consider making a donation—or even better, a recurring one—to ensure that we are able to keep publishing stories like this one. We can’t do it without you.
