    Everything that’s wrong — and right — with Trump’s possible plan for Ukraine

    Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, hasn’t said a lot about Russia’s war in Ukraine, the biggest international news story before Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza shoved it off the front pages. When Trump does mention the conflict, he tends to keep his comments extremely vague. At times, they’re contradictory. The day before Russia’s full-scale invasion more than two years ago, for instance, Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin “genius” and “savvy”...

  • When everything’s propaganda, how can art survive?

    Movies aren’t quite high-tech these days, but that doesn’t mean they’re not still at the forefront of the planetary war for technological control of citizens and countries.

  • How Trump’s latest abortion position can hurt him in the suburbs

    Donald Trump revealed exactly how terrified his campaign is of the Republican effort to end abortion nationwide when he supposedly backed the right of states to regulate abortion early Monday morning. “The states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both," Trump said in a rambling nearly 5-minute video, "whatever they decide must be the law of the land—in this case, the law of the state.” President Joe Biden immediately took the opportunity to slam Trump, saying he "just endorsed...

    Trump and MAGA’s attacks on Alvin Bragg are about who can administer justice

    Donald Trump’s pretrial screeds against Alvin Bragg were filled with coded language that makes clear that this trial isn't just about the question of the former president's culpability. Trump, who’s accused Manhattan’s first Black district attorney of being “racist” against him, has called Bragg “lazy” and repeated false claims that he has refused to prosecute violent crime. Both of these insults — alleged laziness and indifference to violence — have commonly been deployed by racists throughout...
