Free for all readers: the Dodgers say they will visit Trump in the White House to celebrate their World Series championship. This is a cowardly decision that is wrong on every level, and a stab in the back to the city of Los Angeles. Essay under video:

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show reached 128.2M people, down 5.3M viewers from Kendrick Lamar’s performance in 2025, the most watched Super Bowl halftime show ever.
Here's how it compared to the Turning Point USA’s halftime show which was designed as an alternative to Bad Bunny's.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.
