The Sierra Club Embraced Social Justice. Then It Tore Itself Apart. - The New York Times (gift link).

The problem is pretty clear, yet leadership persists in its folly.

There was a time I’d have felt schadenfreude over a story like this. But:

1. My wife and I were members of Sierra Club for a number of years early in our marriage.
2. We can ill afford the self-destruction of liberal-coded institutions when there’s a formidable and seemingly cohesive MAGA movement.

Just as we need (at least) two healthy political parties (currently we have zero), so do we need healthy parapolitical institutions of various stripes.
