There is a lot of conspiracy theory garbage floating around. On January 6, it took a violent turn. Five people died in a coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol, over obviously false claims of a stolen election. It is important to understand what causes this behavior in order to prevent future violence, and to prevent a future breakdown of liberal institutions.

Fredrik Backman’s My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer, and A Man Called Ove
Reading Fredrik Backman rekindled my love for fiction. I first read one of his novels following my completion of four strenuous years of graduate school. I couldn’t remember the last time I had read fiction, or even enjoyed enough leisure time to consider doing so. But by the time I turned the final page of My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, I had purchased all of his published works to start reading as soon as they arrived. His stories begin playfully with casts of memorable characters, but as each plot advances, Backman leads readers step by step beyond the exterior measurements of a person. He opens his characters, exposing their wounds and joys to confront readers with the true value of a human being.

The US House of Representatives voted 232-197 on Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for alleged "incitement of insurrection" in connection with the deadly riots that rocked the Capitol Hill in Washington DC on 6 January. In a historic move on Wednesday, the US House of Representatives voted 232 to 197 in favour of approving impeachment for Donald Trump, making him the first president in the history of the United States to be subjected to the procedure twice. Among those to support the move to oust the president from power were at least 10 Republicans, who had broken ranks to vote with the Democratic opposition.
