Nnnnnnnnnope.

No conservative intellectual can say they just didn't think to distance themselves from their violent and racist right wing.

Since Buckley, that has been their whole thing.

Can Latin America find common ground at COP30? Although Latin America contributes only about 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, many of its territories rank among the most climate-vulnerable on the planet.

Today, after more than a decade, global climate negotiations return to Latin America.

María de los Ángeles Orfila writes that COP30 "represents a political test for the region: Can Latin America this time speak with a more united and recognizable voice in global climate governance?"

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Trump is full of shutdown contradictions The president ignores his own role in Republicans' election wipeout, and the contradictions in his policies and messaging during the shutdown.

Trump blames Democrats, the shutdown and media bias for his party's shellacking on Tuesday.

What he leaves out is his own role in Republicans' election wipeout and the contradictions in his policies and messaging.

This is huge and just the beginning. Who is betting and who placed $$$ on games.

Footnote from The Guardian: "In his first presidency, Donald Trump called journalists the enemy; a year on from his second victory, it’s clear that this time around, he’s treating us like one."

Appalling that a paper of record would feel the need to print this.
