How do Democrats define "freedom"? Just asking questions. It's Democratic National Convention week, so we wanted to talk about what's been unfolding there so far: the rhetoric, the thematic choices, and what it all reveals about the Democrats' 2024 agenda. How should we state-power skeptics and liberty appreciators view that agenda? We invited Jane Coaston to discuss all that with us this week. She's a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times and a former politics reporter at Vox, and she exhibits self-described "libertarian tendencies." Sources referenced in this episode: Overall fre...

For a while there last night, it looked like variations on the word joy had a puncher's chance of outnumbering references to freedom at the relentlessly message-disciplined day three of the Democratic National Convention. When onetime party rising star Sen. Cory Booker (D–N.J.) informed us about one-third of the way through that "tonight is about joy" and "achieving the impossible that should bring us joy," and that "our nominees, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, they bring the joy," the (unofficial) joy vs. freedom count stood at a respectable 21–32. But then Pennsylvania governor, veep pick runne...

Party of freedom? Democrats make it hard for me to own a gun. They make it hard for me to get a gas stove or use the dishwasher I want to. Last year, the Democrats in my city tried to implement a tax on every single Amazon delivery that makes it to my doorstep. They keep legalizing weed, then failing to permit dispensaries so that they can operate within the bounds of the law, so I still buy on the black market. During COVID-19, they made gathering for Mass essentially illegal, forcing capacity and distancing restrictions on people who simply wanted to worship. Don't get me started on the taxe...

As Nicolás Maduro bans X and Signal, the role of technology in Venezuela becomes undeniable. Now more than ever, people's freedom lies in their ability to communicate and access information with privacy and security. This is true not only in Venezuela but also in the United States. Maduro's Repression "I feel like a Jew in Nazi Germany. The regime's security forces are going door by door, arresting human rights activists," a 21-year-old activist from Barquisimeto in northwest Venezuela, who asked to remain anonymous, told me. His words reflect the terrifying reality for many Venezuelans today....

A Michigan couple sued when their local township passed an ordinance to prevent them from opening a cemetery. This week, in a victory for property rights, a judge ruled in the couple's favor and threw out the ordinance entirely. As Reason reported in January, Peter and Annica Quakenbush wanted to open a "green" cemetery, allowing people to bury their loved ones in a natural and environmentally friendly manner, free of chemicals like formaldehyde and coffins containing metal. They specifically intended to establish a conservation burial ground, in which decedents would be buried in biodegradabl...

El autor y experto en Bitcoin, Jimmy Song, recientemente subió al escenario en el evento Bitcoin 2024 en Nashville para denunciar los temas presentados en el primer día del evento, incluyendo el sector bancario invasivo, la inversión institucional y la aparición de fondos cotizados en bolsa en los Estados Unidos como esfuerzos de corporaciones multinacionales y el estado administrativo para cooptar el movimiento Bitcoin.

Author and Bitcoin expert Jimmy Song recently took the stage at the 2024 Bitcoin event in Nashville to denounce the topics presented on the first day of the event, including the encroaching banking sector, institutional investment, and the advent of exchange-traded funds in the United States as efforts by multinational corporations and the administrative state to co-opt the Bitcoin movement. During the panel, Song appealed to the rugged individualism and pioneering spirit inherent in traditional American values and Bitcoin (BTC), sharply rebuking previous panels from deviating from those value...

Texas lawmakers had an opportunity to take bold action on school choice in 2023. Instead, they sided with teachers unions and chose to preserve an educational monopoly that abandons millions of families in a one-size-fits-all system. Voters paid attention to the do-nothing approach. The result was a shellacking for the 21 House Republicans who joined Democrats to kill school choice during four special sessions ending on December 5, 2023. Of this group, only seven Republicans survived their 2024 primary election season. The other 14 GOP incumbents either lost in the first round on March 5, lost...

Do you ever feel like a hamster on a wheel, perpetually spinning but never getting anywhere? Welcome to the club. In a LinkedIn report, 76% of respondents said they felt trapped in their personal lives, 31% were unsure about their futures, 27% were stuck in the same routines, and 26% were lonely (26%). And that makes sense. We are often bombarded with commitments, deadlines, and constant demands to be always available. It’s no wonder many of us yearn for independence from the daily grind when we feel overwhelmed. There is some good news, though. You can break free from the hectic cycle. Since ...
