MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

I'm in the @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com this morning asking: Who exactly is running the federal government?
If we can’t answer that simple question, government officials and civil society must recognize warning signs of state capture and take back what's ours. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

Contemporary antiwar protesters—smeared by journalists, beaten by police, rebuked by the public—will one day be seen as prophetic. At least, that’s what happened to the Berrigan brothers, two radical priests who stood up against the Vietnam War.

Democrats have decided to be tough on immigration—which is to say, they’ve capitulated to the right. As Arvin Alaigh writes, it’s a losing strategy.
