This Week In The Big Picture

This week in The Big Picture, we asked whether America is headed to the dystopian Gilead we know from Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. 

I grew up not only as an ethnic minority but as a religious minority in America. Buddhism is just one of the many diverse faiths that exist side by side, peacefully and by design, without favoritism, in a secular, democratic America. 

With Christian nationalism on the march, we all need to safeguard the cherished principle of separation of church and state. If you missed it, you can read this important piece here.

Tomorrow, we’ve got a special piece in store. Below is a video preview of what we’ll be talking about.

We’re off to a great first week here at The Big Picture, and we’re happy to have you on board as a subscriber! A special thanks, too, to our voluntary paid supporters who make this work possible.
