The Cinema of Societal Collapse This year’s Oscar-nominated international feature films—especially The Secret Agent and Sirāt—tackle what it means to live and die under tyranny.

On THE SECRET AGENT and SIRĀT, the ways that both films capture the atmosphere of fascism, and how they embrace helplessness without indulging in hopelessness. For @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/cult...

“…about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.

ChatGPT had deemed it “D.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. “Because it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”

Mine collapse in eastern Congo leaves 200 dead, authorities say. But rebels dispute the number A mine collapse at Congo’s key Rubaya coltan site has killed a number of miners. Officials and rebels sharply dispute the extent of the death toll.

The looting of African resources by outsiders & its tragic consequences for African people is an old story. Gold, diamonds, ivory, rubber... And now coltan, so that we can have fancy phones. apnews.com/article/cong...

Mar-a-Lago face couldn't save Kristi Noem The former DHS secretary's firing shows women are disposable to Trump — no matter how hard they try to please him

Happy Friday! Enjoy my piece about how Kristi Noem was disposable to Trump, despite being the saddest booklicker in his Cabinet.

You can destroy your face to please MAGA, ladies, but it doesn't matter. You're still a woman and they don't respect you.

Wore a vampire weekend rugby shirt to A Celebration of the Evolution of Black Music Revue at the Ephrata Performing Arts Center and did the electric slide with 100 south Central African American Pennsylvanians and it’s just really important to me that you all see how cool I looked doing so 🕺🏽🪩✊🏽

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

One of the mothers I interviewed for this story was frustrated that she couldn't find many resources to help her navigate these conversations with her 3-year-old son.

So, we also created a guide to taking with your kids about ICE, based on tips from child development experts:

Opinion | Why Trump’s using Charlie Kirk’s legacy to claim Americans are getting more religious Philip Bump: How we know Charlie Kirk didn't spark a religious revival

At SOTU, Trump claimed that young men were becoming more religious because of Charlie Kirk. There's no evidence they are, and certainly not because of him. So why say it?

I was upset about this yesterday and I'm still upset about this today but then I remembered that in the Soviet Union people longed for music that wasn't just propaganda approved so much that they created a cottage industry of smuggling in music and copying them onto records made from old x-rays

New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000

The Trump admin let the ACA tax credits expire, making health insurance costs more than double. Now they want to raise our deductibles, making us pay even MORE for health care.

This is completely out of touch with what we need to survive in this economy.

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Brad Lander Is Building a United Progressive Front - The American Prospect The former New York City comptroller and councilmember is running for Congress. To unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman, he’ll have to consolidate the progressive left.

“He’s not the flashiest guy or the most dynamic orator,” he said, “but he just does consequential work that makes a real difference in people’s lives.”

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.

For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

As a historian of Christianity let me tell you that Christians throughout history have absolutely loved persecuting other Christians. There is no period in which this isn’t true

BUT also note that the opposite is also true! There’s no period in history where care for the stranger was absent
