Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

Dressed in a military uniform, Donald Trump, points at New York on a map and says, "We begin invading in five minutes.”

Glowworms In the punt on the river in the cave, beneath the dim light of glowing worms, it was thoughts of my own death that consumed me.

“I had always believed myself to be pretty sanguine at the thought of my own death—I’d had a good long life, done good work, experienced true love, was generally A+ lucky—but now all I wanted was to get the hell out of there.” A new essay by Ann Patchett.

The Comma Queen’s Lesson on “Who” Versus “Whom” Does civilization depend on the proper use of “who” and “whom”?

A screenshot of an X post by Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin ) on x.com. The post highlights a video posted by the President of the United States, a role once held by Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR, and questions whether the price of groceries or housing has gone down for families or how a child's job search is going in the Trump economy. The embedded video, credited to Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump ), shows a dark, dramatic scene with hooded figures, one resembling the President holding drumsticks, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background, and a timestamp of 00:09/01:07.

Image of an X post screenshot. The post from @CBotTh ... (C-Bo the Eggman) reads, "Banning words should do the trick," posted 20 hours ago. Below it, a Politico post from @politico (1 day ago) states, "Energy Dept. adds 'climate change' and 'emissions' to banned words list," with the Politico logo. The image includes profile pictures and timestamps.

Censorship is the mark of a weak regime.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.
