Marjorie Taylor Greene’s space laser and the age-old problem of blaming the Jews
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on the floor of the House. | Erin Scott/Pool/Getty Images Why conspiracy theorists always end up pointing the finger at Jews — and why that’s a problem for the GOP. Let’s get this out of the way: First-term Rep.

How the LAPD and Palantir Use Data to Justify Racist Policing
The killing of George Floyd last May sparked renewed scrutiny of data-driven policing.

In her new book, “Predict and Surveil: Data, Discretion, and the Future of Policing,” sociologist Sarah Brayne slays that assumption with granular ... read more

But as we start to get some distance from his presidency, I haven’t been able to shake a thought that’s increasingly haunted me of late: The United States got very, very lucky over the past four years.By “luck,” of course, I don’t mean that Americans reaped any benefits over the last four years. This country is less healthy, less wealthy, less happy, and less stable than ... read more
