    The most important feature of the shutdown politics—both for the eventual solution and for how it affects wider politics—is that the Wall unites Democrats and badly divides Republicans. Tactics, news cycles, arguments are fine. But that’s the power dynamic.

    You don't have to be a Marxist-Leninist (I'm certainly not) to see and think through the argument that broader social and democratic reform in the United States is tied to the fate of black Americans, especially those in the South.
