The number of coronavirus cases in the United States has passed 1,000 Tuesday, with the rate of infections likely increasing.

Super Tuesday and Standing up to Racists

The Democratic Party on the Brink
Lawrence Davidson | counterpunch.org | 2020-03-11
The failure to see the need to manage change, and instead adhere to a traditional and increasingly unresponsive status quo, is a formula for failure. Still, recognizing the need, and then managing it can be a difficult. Here we will define managing change, admittedly rather vaguely, as addressing disaffection in a timely and enlightened way.
