Are we actually a "United" States? Has the US lived up to the promise of inclusivity, freedom, equality, and opportunity for everyone? And where can we go from here? Peniel E.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘The Darker the Night,’ a murder in Glasgow unravels a political investigation

Early on in The Darker the Night, the debut thriller from NPR producer Martin Patience, an investigative reporter links a murder in Glasgow to a significant political figure: the first minister of the Scottish government.

Time To Say Goodbye - When the right wing co-opts identity politics

Hello from our normal, boring lives!

Tammy returns from her reporting trip out West, and Jay is back at work after taking half his parental leave. It’s just us this week, talking through [3:20] the political disaster that has unfolded around the derailment and chemical release in East Palestine, Ohio. Plus, [28:25] a new Intercept interview with D.E.I. consultant Tema Okun, about her viral paper “White Supremacy Culture.”

In this episode, we ask:

Have we learned anything since the 2016 election about the risk of ignoring working-class communities?

How should the Democrats have responded to the derailment?

Why are people so obsessed with the term “white supremacy”? What anxieties does it mask?

Are diversity trainings really necessary?

For more, see:

* Our recent episode with train conductor Nick Wurst

* Field trips to East Palestine, Ohio, by Senator J.D. Vance and Trump

* Tema Okun’s interview with Ryan Grimm of The Intercept

* Okun’s original paper, plus the updated website
