The Erickson Report for July 24 to August 6 includes a new feature you’ll see from time to time (”Five Things Noted in Passing”) along with ”Heroes and Villains” and the popular ”Two Weeks of Stupid: Clowns and Outrages.”

The Erickson Report looks at the world through the eyes of a member of the radical nonviolent US left and hopes to inspire ethical action to make that world a little better than it was before. It is advocacy journalism, dealing in facts and logic but making no bones about having a point of view.
