On December 22, shortly after dawn, Israeli authorities razed a thirteen-apartment
- Ohio Train Derailment Victims Are Still Waiting for Justice
On a balmy evening last September, Michael Fowler stumbled out to the south rail line in East Palestine, Ohio, and sat down in the middle of the tracks. His dog, a white Chihuahua, was beside him.

- The Flawed Memory of Brazil’s Dictatorship
Forty years since the end of Brazil’s military dictatorship, seven since the election of a president who praised its torturers, and three since said ex-president attempted a coup of his own, it can be tempting to diagnose the whole country with a sort of national amnesia. This is, after all, the most optimistic explanation for
- Meet Cea Weaver, the Tenant Leader Who Terrifies NYC Landlords
In Trump’s America, with so much breaking news for the media to cover, it might have seemed odd to observe the presence of journalists and photographers staking out the Crown Heights apartment of a new City Hall appointee — heading a small office that doesn’t even have any official staff — for days at a
- The New Right Openly Pines for Manifest Destiny 2.0
Over the past decade, conservatives have railed incessantly against “woke” educators for indoctrinating young people into believing that the United States was forged through conquest, racial domination, and imperial violence, all of which is historically uncontroversial.

- Cannabis and the Closure of Agnes J. Johnson Charter School

Last April, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. promised that his agency would find the cause of autism “by September.” That didn’t pan out, but this week he appears to be trying again—by stacking a decades-old committee devoted to “innovations in autism research, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention” with his friends and fellow
- Trump’s Minions Are Pressuring Prosecutors to Charge ICE Protesters Based on Scant Evidence
More federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned or are preparing to do so, in part because the Trump administration has asked them to file criminal charges against anti-ICE protesters without appropriate evidence, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation.

- The Iran Escalation Machine: Narratives, Sanctions, and the Normalization of Force
U.S. policy toward Iran is frequently sold as a reaction to urgent threats.
