Two countries with a McDonalds now in open warfare. In 1996 Thomas Friedman had posited it shouldn't happen: if a place was rich enough to have Big Macs, its people had too much to lose from war. It was archetypal of a time when we thought the End of History was in sight.

As the new #Dune premieres in London I’ll share a lil story. I’m the actor in this article whom James McAvoy quotes-pretty bonkers in and of itself. What tickles me about *his* story is that our respective recollections of our encounter are very different in sweet, powerful ways.

We have the sad duty to report the passing of James W. Loewen, the author of multiple books on the distortion of history in the public sphere, and a longtime HNN contributor. We extend our condolences to his family and to those whose lives he touched.

The unique light and shadow installations of artist Kumi Yamashita are usually made from ordinary, everyday objects – building blocks, thread, nails, paper cutouts, fabric, and wood, which she then manages to turn into sophisticated imagery ow.ly/qkYL50vCVjO

There was a concerted, multifaceted, well-documented effort to subvert this election, the president was an organizing force, he and much of his party actively participated, and it has caused real damage. The attempts to write all that off are deeply unworthy.

The same people who said "It can't happen here" and then "No one could have seen it coming" will now say "It wasn't really that bad." It was. Do not let anyone rewrite the history of the Trump admin years. History must be remembered to ensure it does not repeat.

“I have spoken hitherto of the possibility that democracy may be a self-limiting disease, like measles. It is, perhaps, something more: it is self-devouring.” — H.L. Mencken – at Temple Terrace, FL

Yes, the guy running a fake university & caught stealing from 2 charities was attempting to root out corruption in a foreign company by bypassing the US intelligence & law enforcement agencies at his disposal & using 3 goons. Hard to believe people aren't buying this.

Rhode Island will go down to one house district, meaning that we'll have the highest percentage of states with single-representative districts since the 1830s (and at that time we were adding states). It's time to increase the size of the House.

I want to return to a topic that started to concern me over the summer: the deteriorating relationship between live interview and online polls xitter.cf/Nate_Cohn/status/11718…

.@RossSpano’s entire candidacy was a fraud. He should have had the decency to resign last year, but he didn’t.
While in Congress, he’s doubled down on being a toad.
Hopefully east Hillsborough voters send him packing.

Rarely have I read as well-sourced a story that makes no allegations whatsoever but still leads the reader to wonder about what else might be going on. nytimes.com/2019/07/25/busin…
