Political Accountability and Global Crises

This chapter examines the refusal of individuals to engage in what they believe is an illegal war, while highlighting the devastation caused by a catastrophic earthquake in Afghanistan. It further discusses significant shifts in U.S. defense policies, the implications of a federal court ruling on military involvement in immigration enforcement, and the unfolding mayoral race in New York City. The conversation also touches on international efforts for clean water, military alignments, and the economic ramifications of proposed rent stabilization measures.
