The second decade of the 21st century was bookended by two great crises the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the colossal impact these events have had on our daily lives, they resulted in

For instance, like many Democratic Members of Congress, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) charged in response to the mass murder that “white supremacy” is a “threat to all of our communities, and we must call out the targeted, violent attacks on our AAPI neighbors.” (For those wondering, in this case one assumes “AAPI” refers to the new politically correct acronym for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.)
