  "A republic, if you can keep it." 
  When Benjamin Franklin spoke those words at the birth of our nation, it wasn't a boast. It was a warning. A reminder that freedom isn't automatic. It isn't permanent. And it isn't someone else's job to protect it. 
  It's ours. 
  Nearly 250 years later, many Americans feel the ground shifting beneath their feet. Trust is low. Politics feels broken. Institutions we once believed in don't feel steady anymore. Step outside, turn on the news, scroll your phone—it can feel like the world has grown louder, angrier, less certain. 
  And more and more of us are asking the same plain, uneasy question: 
  What is happening to America? 
  In Redefining Freedom, award-winning author, journalist, and legal analyst Sophia A. Nelson invites listeners to step back from the noise and remember what freedom really asks of us—not as partisans, but as citizens. Drawing on history, lived experience, and decades covering American public life, she offers a hopeful, practical roadmap for restoring trust, renewing our civic spirit, repairing what division has broken, and rebuilding the foundations of democracy.

  You know the names — Gettysburg, Shiloh, Antietam — but the war itself stays a blur of dates, generals and shifting lines that never quite settles into a story you can follow.
  
  This is the American Civil War told one battle at a time, each chapter a complete drama that starts at the commander's map table and ends in the smoke of the cornfield. You hear why Fort Sumter mattered, how Vicksburg cut the Confederacy in half, what really decided the third day at Gettysburg, and how the Wilderness and Atlanta ground the South toward Appomattox. Union and Confederate soldiers both get a voice, the human cost is honoured rather than tidied away, and where historians still argue, the disagreement is stated plainly instead of smoothed over.
  
  By the last chapter the whole war holds together in your head, battle by battle, cause by consequence. Press play and let the story of the war unfold the way it was lived.

  Liberal White Supremacy - How...

  In Liberal White Supremacy, Angie Beeman argues that white supremacy is maintained not only by right-wing conservatives or stereotypically uneducated working-class racial bigots but also by progressives who operate from a liberal ideology of color-blindness, racism-evasiveness, and class elitism. This distinction provides insight on divisions among progressives at the local level, in community organizations, and at the national level, in the Democratic Party. By distinguishing between liberal and radical approaches to racism, class oppression, capitalism, and social movement tactics, Beeman shows how progressives continue to be limited by liberal ideology and perpetuate rather than dismantle white supremacy, all while claiming to be antiracist. 
   
   
   
  She conceptualizes this self-serving process as "liberal white supremacy," the tendency for liberal European Americans to constantly place themselves in the superior moral position in a way that reinforces inequality. Beeman advances what she calls action-oriented and racism-centered intersectional approaches as alternatives to progressive organizational strategies that either downplay racism in favor of a class-centered approach or take a talk-centered approach to racism without developing explicit actions to challenge it.

  Leaving Nothing to Chance -...

  The most influential theory of distributive equality to have emerged since John Rawls's justice as fairness is luck egalitarianism, which aims to neutralize the distributive effects of luck. The standard form, brute-luck egalitarianism, advanced by Richard Arneson, G. A. Cohen, and Ronald Dworkin, allows the unequal consequences of option luck (the results of deliberate gambles) to stand while neutralizing the unequal consequences of brute luck (the results of unchosen risk). Luck egalitarians have responded by moderating their view, and even in some cases by accepting the core of relational egalitarianism, which is now in the ascendency.Leaving Nothing to Chance reverses this retreat from luck egalitarianism, presenting a bold new theory of equality that overcomes criticism of luck egalitarianism by reinterpreting and strengthening its core commitment to equalizing the effects of luck. The book further pursues the goal of luck neutralization by opening or "greying" the black box of responsibility, rejecting personal identity in favor of a thin account of what matters for prudence and responsibility, and defending a moral rather than prudential account of the value of choice. Leaving Nothing to Chance shows that the problems of brute-luck egalitarianism's partial luck neutralization can instead be overcome by fully neutralizing luck.
