EDITOR’S NOTE: 

After we recorded this interview, Israel presented evidence that the center of the explosion in the hospital compound in Gaza City did not have a bomb crater, which Israel says demonstrates that the explosion was caused by an errant rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad rather by than an Israeli airstrike. The US has backed Israel's position, but independent investigations are ongoing.

byThe Nation Magazine

Is the resistance to data centers a new kind of mass politics? David Wallace-Wells explains why the answer is “yes.” He’s a writer for The New York Times Opinion pages and author of the unforgettable book “The Uninhabitable Earth.”

Also: How to be a dissident in an age of fear – Ami Fields-Meyer has thought a lot about that. For starters: don’t start from scratch; don’t try to do it alone. Ami is co-author of the new book “On Courage.”
