The Times They are A'Changin'

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

From a Distance

"A species that is currently killing its own members over whose interpretation of God is correct is not ready to be told that the God question may need to be reopened from the very beginning."

Two Daiquiris at the Floridita and a Lesson America Never Learned

Latin American nations that have, painfully and slowly, moved past the legacy of all the U.S.-backed coups will have to face a clarity they have been avoiding: nothing has changed, the Monroe Doctrine has simply been rearmed by a man who has said, “I can do anything I want.”

Why We Fight...Oh, Hell, Who Knows?

So, really. Where is this going?

The Historic Mindlessness of Americans

"American politicians routinely describe Iran as a rogue state, an irrational actor, an existential threat. What they rarely do is connect that behavior to its historical origins, because doing so would require a reckoning with American responsibility that domestic politics makes nearly impossible."

Operation Epstein Fury

Iran will no doubt retaliate by bombing the FBI filing cabinet.

"We Love You God"

Nobody changes leaders in the middle of war. Trump, hammered in the polls for tariffs and DOGE cuts, is posturing as a war president and using phrases like this attack “was the likes of what the world has never seen,” and “We love you God,” even as he is launching an unprovoked attack on Iran.

Safety in Wonders

I sat, stunned. I was capsule 32 pulled from the container, which meant my future was not a job or graduate school, or a year spent traveling, but was, instead, a trip to the induction center in Detroit and then likely Fort Knox, Kentucky, to undergo basic training and learn to shoot a gun.

The Last Battle of Rudy Gonzalez

I thought about a conversation I had with him on an airplane once because of the recent speculation that George W. Bush might endorse Kamala Harris. Sure, there is a non-zero chance of that happening, but I suggest you place your bets elsewhere.

A Summertime Dream

"It's hard not to feel hopeful on days like this and it is just as difficult to avoid thinking about how little America has changed since that Dallas gunfire took us off course. We have had our victories, but they feel now as if they are dissolving in the old anger and we are back where we started."

July 1, 1916

“Boys were falling on either side until there were only two of us left. He got it. He was killed. Then I got it. I got two bullets in me. I dropped. Blood was coming out of me...I stopped the blood as best I could...I said my prayers and I seen my mom, as far as I knew, but I knew she wasn’t there.”

The Burning Man

“Free Palestine, free Palestine,” he screamed as the fire brought him down. Colleagues who knew him in the military described him as kind, soft-hearted, and caring, the diametric opposite of the angry radical that he is being portrayed in widespread reporting.

Oppenheimer and Me

Humans continue to live with the same fear that has haunted us since we initially split the atom. Robert Oppenheimer, a brilliant and heroic man, was just the first scientist to accomplish the inevitable. There tends to be little moral calculus to science.
