Today, tens of millions of Americans will partake in a national ritual many of us say we don’t especially enjoy or find meaning in.

Last year, California and Washington state banned farming octopuses for their meat, and bills have been introduced in seven other states — plus the US Senate — to do the same. Lawmakers in Chile and Spain are weighing a prohibition on farming them, too. All this legislative activity, and yet there’s not a single octopus […] Read more ›

Nearly a quarter century ago, in Atkins v. Virginia (2002), the Supreme Court held that it is unconstitutional to execute offenders with an intellectual disability. Next Wednesday, however, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a new case, Hamm v. Smith, which tests whether the Court’s current Republican majority wishes to retain this limit on […] Read more ›

One Battle After Another is, perhaps, too on the nose. Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic depicts past and present revolutionaries fighting back against a heavily militarized, white-supremacist regime that seemed to mirror reality in the United States when the movie hit theaters in late 2025. Characters rescue immigrants from detention centers, bomb the office of an […] Read more ›

In early September, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the US military to “kill everybody” aboard a speedboat in the Caribbean. A missile then shattered the vessel and set its fragments ablaze.

In Bogotá, Colombia, care work — often overlooked and unpaid — eats up more than 35 billion hours of labor per year. It’s a burden which falls disproportionately on women, and can leave little time for other parts of life. But Bogotá is also the center of a “care revolution,” where innovative neighborhood hubs are […] Read more ›

Late on Thanksgiving Day, a holiday whose central fable is about the American value of welcoming strangers in need, President Donald Trump announced an intent to “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the US system to fully recover.” It is not clear exactly how exactly this sweeping policy is supposed to […] Read more ›

This winter was already shaping up to be one of the strangest cold and flu seasons in recent memory. With Robert F.

It is unlikely that any legal argument could persuade the Court’s Republican majority to uphold bans on anti-LGBTQ+ conversion therapy, for example, or to preserve the Voting Rights Act. These are issues where Republican judges have wildly divergent views from […] Read more ›

The most embarrassing thing happened to me recently. It was twilight, and I was walking my dog around the quiet Brooklyn neighborhood where I’ve been living for about a year. Then I heard a sound that I couldn’t place at first. I stopped in my tracks and then realized: Crickets were chirping. It was my […] Read more ›

The US may or may not be marching toward war with Venezuela, but at the moment, there’s another Latin American country that seems to be occupying President Donald Trump’s attention. Counting is currently underway in Honduras’s presidential election, which was held on Sunday, and the margins are razor thin, with Nasry “Tito” Asfura of the […] Read more ›

Last month, a federal court in Texas ruled that a Republican gerrymander, expected to give the GOP five extra seats in the US House, must be struck down because of incompetent lawyering by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department. In August, at Trump’s urging, Texas Republicans redrew their state’s congressional maps to make them much more […] Read more ›

Their eyes light up. They blush a little. There’s a giggle here and there. “It’s disarming,” said Michael Lomax, head of the United Negro College […] Read more ›
