Welcome to the weekend. Last week, my inbox was on fire! It seems the lead story struck a chord. It was an open letter by academics and writers asserting that the restriction of debate, whether by a repressive government or an intolerant society, invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation. I loved all the feedback. And I was receiving criticism from the left and the right. (In my book, that means I’m doing something right.) Many people sent me an article rebutting the open letter in Harpers, which is the first story in the briefing below.
