  • Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom - The Dangerous Allure of Censorship in the Digital Era - cover

    Free Speech and Turbulent...

    Michael J. Glennon

    A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
     
     
     
    In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
     
     
     
    To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.

    Tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, and Google can collect real-time data from billions of users.

    A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
     
     
     
    From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
     
     
     
    Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.

    Miscarriage is a deeply personal and often painful experience that affects millions of women and families worldwide. Despite its prevalence, it remains a topic shrouded in silence, leaving many to navigate their grief alone. This book aims to provide comfort, understanding, and hope to those who have experienced miscarriage, offering guidance through the emotional and physical healing process.  
      
    For many, the loss of a pregnancy brings a complex mix of emotions—grief, guilt, anger, and even isolation. Society often struggles to acknowledge miscarriage as a significant loss, leading many women to feel as though they must grieve in silence. Friends and family may offer well-meaning but unhelpful advice, leaving those affected feeling misunderstood. It is important to recognize that miscarriage is not just a medical event but an emotional and psychological one as well. The pain of losing a child, even in the early stages of pregnancy, is real and valid.  
      
    While no two experiences are exactly alike, one common thread among those who have suffered miscarriage is the search for meaning and healing. Some find solace in talking about their experience, while others prefer quiet reflection. Many turn to faith, support groups, or counseling to help them process their grief. Regardless of the path taken, healing is possible, and hope can be found even in the darkest moments.
