  • Many can’t wait for the eclipse. Some can’t wait until it’s over.

    Months of planning have gone into the handful of minutes it will take for the moon to pass in front of the sun on Monday. Dozens of towns and cities in the solar eclipse’s path of totality have arranged packed schedules of celebratory events and viewing sites, preparing to welcome legions of enthusiastic visitors like Michael Howard. The 62-year-old is flying from Baltimore to San Antonio, Texas, and then driving about 65 miles northwest to Kerrville — where he’s all but certain to hit eclipse...

  • No, ‘Civil War’s’ Fascist President Isn’t Donald Trump

    Few films have stirred the cultural pot quite like “Civil War.” The April 12 release envisions a near-future America at war with itself. Kirsten Dunst leads an ensemble cast including “Parks and Recreation” standout Nick Offerman as the U.S. president. Much of the film’s story has been kept under wraps. The film’s SXSW Film and TV Festival debut let some light shine on the narrative. Offerman’s president, for example, has fascistic tendencies and is currently serving his third term....

    Last week, when Donald Trump started teasing a big abortion announcement, it felt similar to what he used to do with the famous “infrastructure week” — but about women’s bodies. For any of us who’ve even remotely followed Trump’s many different stances on abortion, trust me when I say none of us were holding our breath. The former president, whose Supreme Court nominations while in office inarguably enabled Roe to be struck down and women’s reproductive rights rolled back, has been wildly...

An unscrupulous narcissist with dictatorial ambitions and a hatred for legitimate political opposition could win the presidency in November, and that will very likely be the last time that patriotic Americans get a chance to elect their chief executive. From now on, if this sinister man manages to win, it’s all going to be stiff-arm salutes and “Sieg heils.”
