Collective fear leads to collective violence.

Time to ask: who in our news or social media feed is telling us that other Americans hate America?

Who's telling us to be afraid, all the time? These are conflict entrepreneurs. To my journo friends: pls don't amplify their msgs.

Thank you ErikWemple for calling the ousting of James Bennet from the The New York Times what it was: a mistake.

One born of high conflict, cowardice, misplaced righteousness & fear.

This story is 875 days late, as Wemple admits. But I'll take it.

On How To! this week, a show very close to my heart: How to Talk Politics with Your Dad (Without Punching a Wall). Pt 1 slate.com/podcasts/how-t… via @slate

I've been honored to host about 52 episodes of the Slate How To! podcast, & I've learned from every one.

But this 2-parter? It breaks new ground.

A brave American family shreds the old, tortured script for arguing about politics--& investigates the understory.

A must-listen

We've all read tips for talking about politics w/family.

But how often do we get to hear it happen, in real time, w/ringside commentary?

Thank You to the brave, big-hearted Brandel family for test piloting a new way to disagree! And to Coach Mónica Guzmán for wisdom & courage!

LOL! So true...

Conflict Entrepreneur of the Month!

I nominate Rick Scott

But there's still time...

'To call a democratically elected government a ‘regime’ is to deliberately undermine its legitimacy & justify authoritarian and violent acts against it.' Steven Levitsky

This is beautiful.

Thank you for coming on How To! Dana Amihere -- and for bravely, thoughtfully taking on the tiny little daggers in the comments section.

This guide is really helpful! Using it now to prep for a podcast on homelessness. Thank you Street Sense Media Will Schick

'Many of the homeless people ...we interviewed said they wished journalists were more critical of homeless services nonprofits & govt agencies.'

Interesting!
