The Russians made their own film titled "Nuremberg," released two years ago. Watching it side by side with the new American one speaks volumes about how the two societies see themselves and each other, writes @michaelidov.bsky.social airmail.news/issues/2025-...
"Nuremberg," Two Ways
How does James Vanderbilt's film about Nazis on trial differ from the Russian-made film of the same title? A side-by-side comparison speaks volumes about contemporary politics.

President Trump said he no longer endorsed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), his former staunch ally, and that he would support a conservative challenge against her in the next Republican primary election if it were the right candidate.

In response, Greene accused the president of lying about her due to her stance on the release of more files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Looking at these pictures of Ruby Bridges, and thinking about how moving it is to see how tiny and vulnerable she is.

And, I'm thinking about our language and culture around trauma, and how on a personal level it often feels lacking for me.

The rowboat.
Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene are in a rowboat that’s sinking in the middle of a lake. You can only save one of them — who would you choose?

I do wonder how much of the capitulation is a calculation that the next administration will immediately tear up these agreements. So it’s cheaper to comply for a few years to avoid the cost of litigation and suspension of funds.
One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

I am even more incandescently furious about this heinous take by Megyn Kelly stack ranking levels of child sexual abuse. Take note: when a young person under 18 wants to begin transitioning with help of their doctor and parent, she loudly proclaims them children and attacks.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Going it alone without NBC’s name or bench of reporting talent, the rebranded cable news network is staffing up. MS Now wants you to know that nothing has changed — except for a few things.
