Investing in durable home furniture and political updates: Ashley Furniture introduces spill-resistant, trendy sofas and recliners. Texas immigration law faces a temporary hold. Ohio Republican primary results: J.D. Vance wins, Trump secures more victories.
While making memories in the comfort of your home, it's essential to invest in furniture that can withstand life's mishaps. Ashley Furniture's new high-performance collection offers soft, trendy, and easy-to-clean sofas and recliners, perfect for spills, slip-ups, and muddy paws. Meanwhile, in the political sphere, Texas's immigration law faced a setback as a temporary hold was put on the law by an appeals court. The law, which makes it a state crime for migrants to illegally cross the border, has been a contentious issue between immigration advocates and Republican Governor Greg Abbott. In Ohio, a Republican primary saw a win for a candidate backed by former President Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, who will now face Democratic incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown in the general election, potentially influencing control of the US Senate. Trump also secured uncontested victories in several Republican presidential primaries.
Significant issues merit attention: protest votes, government shutdown, Israeli attack investigation, record number of abortions, Hollywood controversy: Protest votes against Trump, potential government shutdown, Israeli attack investigation, record number of abortions, Hollywood controversy are major issues currently impacting the US.
Despite Trump's nomination win, there is still significant protest voting among Republicans. In addition, there is a risk of a government shutdown this weekend, which could interrupt key services and leave thousands of workers unpaid. A recent investigation also raised questions about an Israeli attack on Gaza journalists, and the number of abortions in the US reached a record high last year with over a million procedures, mostly medication abortions. An open letter in Hollywood has condemned Jonathan Glaser's Oscars speech for his Holocaust movie "The Zone of Interest." Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is set to consider new restrictions on mifepristone, a pill used in medication abortions. The government shutdown could affect crucial services, such as the IRS during tax filing season, and thousands of workers could be impacted. The protest votes against Trump, the potential government shutdown, the Israeli attack investigation, the record number of abortions, and the Hollywood controversy are significant issues that merit attention.
Art and expression at awards condemn conflict, promote understanding: Filmmaker's speech at awards condemned Gaza conflict, Paris Olympics provided condoms, Hollywood criticized moral equivalence, emphasizing open dialogue and understanding
The power of art and expression was on display at the awards, as a filmmaker used the platform to condemn the ongoing conflict in Gaza and draw attention to the dangers of dehumanization. Elsewhere, the Olympic Games in Paris prepared to resume a tradition from past games by providing condoms to athletes, staff, and press. The week saw controversy as some in Hollywood criticized the filmmaker's speech for drawing a moral equivalence between Israel and Nazi Germany. Despite the controversy, the focus remained on the importance of open dialogue and understanding in addressing complex global issues.

Episode 9: Campus Unrest, Dating in the Digital Age, and the Immigration Impasse
On this week’s Past Present podcast, Nicole Hemmer, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, and Neil Young discuss the campus protests at Mizzou and Yale, Tinder and online dating, and the politics of immigration.
Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:
- Protests at the University of Missouri, Yale, and other schools have erupted over issues regarding racism on college campuses today. At Mizzou, the university’s troubled history of racism has shaped the most recent events. Niki mentioned that classic works like Alan Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind and Dinesh D’Souza’s Illiberal Education made the idea of “political correctness” the prevailing conservative interpretation of university politics and has shaped the current conversation regarding free speech on campus.
- The dating app Tinder has updated its features to allow users to add job and education information to their profiles. Dating in the internet age has occasioned all sorts of worries about how technology is changing modern romance, but Natalia pointed out there are many continuities with courtship practices across the twentieth century. Natalia noted the works of scholars like Paula Fass and Mary McComb show some of the same practices we think of as created by the internet, such as rating your date, go back to the 1920s.
- Immigration has emerged as one of the biggest issues in the 2016 presidential race. Niki has recently written about how immigration has become the most important issue in the Republican race for the nomination, and she cited Mae Ngai’s history of illegal aliens, Impossible Subjects, as an important work that has shaped her thinking regarding the history of immigration in America.
In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History:
- Natalia recommended Aziz Ansari’s new Netflix show, Master of None, in part for how it portrays race in America today.
- Neil suggested two readings on Charles Schulz and his famous comic strip to accompany the new Peanuts movie. Neil recommended David Michaelis’ 2007 biography Schulz and Peanuts and Sarah Boxer’s recent Atlantic article, “The Exemplary Narcissism of Snoopy.”
- Niki discussed Jill Lepore’s New Yorker article on the history of polling.
