The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence. This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

Pope Francis has died at 88. His final message: a call for a Gaza ceasefire. “This is cruelty. This is not war,” he said after Israel killed 7 children in Jabalia. He called Gaza’s suffering “deplorable” — and made nightly calls to Christians trapped there.

The new Trump administration has illegally removed far more people from their jobs because of speech and beliefs in the last month than the entire list of cancelled or pressured people (many of whom were criticized, not fired) compiled by FIRE and others over years. It’s not remotely close.

First, the activist ‘overreach’ mostly consisted of low-stakes, cherry-picked anecdotes. The police were not defunded. Words were not banned. White men were not barred from college. The backlash is responding to the *possibility* of social change, not actual change.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

who are fiercely making the public case for regional transit funding. Kansas City-area residents deserve robust and reliable buses, but instead the people with the power to act seem content to let our transit system wither away.
