Democrats should condemn the wrecker's wild and destructive use of tariffs but must refuse to support the demand from business to make international trade completely easy.

Tariffs can be effective for promoting specific industries in a country, but the tariff plans the US has adopted in recent years have been foolishly designed.

I object to the way the author uses the word "liberal", meaning "in favor of letting businesses do whatever they like". That is not what liberals stand for when we had political influence, and it is not what Liberals stand for now. Liberal policies adopted in the 1960s and 70s included Medicare, Medicaid, prohibiting racial discrimination, protecting voting rights, protecting the air and the water, protecting endangered species, and protecting workers from injurious working conditions. You can tell from the way the right-wing Supreme Court has attacked these that they do not bow to business.

Wildflowers growing on contaminated soil can absorb arsenic, cadmium, chromium and lead from it, and pass them on to bees. It damages he bees' memory, which can wipe out the hive.

Iran is deporting 4 million Afghan refugees in a hurry. Many are single women, who under Afghanistan's repressive laws can't even leave the border post.

With their prospects, death is an escape. Why, I wonder, do they obligingly walk to the border post, when they could instead drop on the ground and say, defiantly, "You can carry me or you can kill me"?

There may be other opportunities to fight their guards, for those who would rather die fast than be driven to death or slavery.
