There's a word to describe political movements that emphasize ethnic, racial and religious solidarity over citizenship and pluralistic values, but it has unpleasant historical associations. Using it only causes political conversations to end in bitterness and name-calling.

Cheered on by the former president, the Republican-controlled state senate is sponsoring a wackadoodle recount aimed at overturning Joe Biden's narrow victory last November.

Dear Editor,
Clinton Public Schools have been the leader in COVID-19 protection and protocol during the pandemic that has gripped the nation, state and the Hub City for more than a year.
President Joseph Biden mentions his Catholic faith frequently. We’ve heard him cite both Pope and Saint Francis.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My brother has been really depressed lately and is gaining a lot of weight as a result. I've noticed him eating a lot and not exercising at all. It's been gradual; since last November, he's been slowly gaining more and more weight. I think losing our great-aunt may have triggered this depression. They were very close, and he really hasn't been the same since she died. I'm concerned for his health and his happiness. Losing control of his weight may worsen his depression. How can I intervene with out upsetting him or making him feel bad? — Intervening
