The US is facing the turning point that Israel just went through with the majority of the population non-Jewish. Will the US act in the same way as Israel? One-third of eligible voters will be non-white in 2020, according to new datafrom Pew Research Center.

Institutional religion off, spirituality on. On a practical level, that means a lot less funding for religious institutions — and a lot more funding for "spirituality," some of which is organized and some not.

Lost economic and financially, that is.

Fed economists determined that substantial wealth declines were visible across the age spectrum around the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) but found that young families suffered the most.

On one side are the big cities, the centers of progressive politics and home to social movements for women, for gay people, for minorities, and to an unprecedented wave of immigrants.
