The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

And this is why we should never refer to killings, massacres or other atrocities as 'tragedies'.

A 'tragedy' is an unfortunate but unavoidable event for which no-one is to blame - that is the definition. To call the inevitable result of deliberate policy a 'tragedy' is a denial and a whitewash...

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

Just a screenshot from one of the best films ever made (M, 1931).

Make it viral.

The events of 5 years ago today mark one of the darkest days in US history.

A sitting president encouraged a coup against our government—attempting to overturn a free & fair election.

The absolute shame & criminality of that attempt will never be forgotten

No matter how hard they try to erase it.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

The Mamdani Era Begins His opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayor—they wanted Zohran Mamdani.

While campaigning, Zohran Mamdani frequently noted that New York is the richest city in the richest country in the history of the world, and that its government could do more for the people who live here. Tonight, he was elected mayor.

The Alien Invaders Just Want to Chat “Bugonia” is surprisingly subdued for a movie about a conspiracy theorist’s quest to save Earth.

Richard J. Evans · Alien to the Community: Eugenics in Germany In Hitler’s mind, eugenics was part of Germany’s long-term preparation for victory in the struggle between races....

‘Prejudice against the disabled was still so widespread that in 1980 a Frankfurt court ordered the reimbursement of the cost of a hotel to a tourist who had been upset by the presence of a group of guests with cerebral palsy.’

If what Musk is posting about Trump tonight is true, it begs the question of why he was happy to sit on this information while he was in government.

I know many people are enjoying this cage fight, but what a sickening display of the morals behind this grotesque political alliance.

The world’s largest emitter just delivered some good climate news—for now China may have met an important milestone ahead of schedule. We'll see if it persists.

China is the world’s largest single greenhouse gas emitter, emitting twice as much as the United States.

But now there’s been a key shift: China’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen even as energy demand has gone up. This milestone is "ahead of schedule."
