Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

Last night we saw Kings of Leon for the first time. So glad we went, absolutely stellar concert experience 👏🏻💥

No, tropical reptiles love the heat but they’re not fond of traffic.

It is now officially “Park in the shade no matter how far away it is” season in Florida.

So, today is raccoon penis Wednesday, which follows on the heels of lecturing the Pope on theology Tuesday, that was really a doctor with a halo Monday and the President is Jesus Sunday. America the Bonkers.

“RFK Jr. & his team have been wrong repeatedly over the last
14 months issuing ridiculous medical claims without any evidence.” They are now facing backlash & issuing retractions, but the damage has been done. Take a listen to Dr. Vin Gupta!👇🏼

We deserve a good lotto ball after we got Lamelo Balled.

Marred by Lamelo Ball taking out Bam with a wrestling move. Disgraceful. And then he hits the game winner. Karma was absent.

People forget that Amazon Prime has broadcast some of the greatest moments in NBA history.

Dania Beach center and museum commemorates the Holocaust as a teachable moment Also known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the museum brought a dozen Holocaust survivors together with 130 students from Christa McAuliffe Middle School in Boynton Beach.

It was so appropriate that I had a chance to do my last dance with Doris Burke. My long time partner. She’s family.

Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate

A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane comments capped by threatening to wipe out Iran and attacking the pope have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power and revived the debate about Trump's mental health. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

Farshad Mahmoudian is an Iranian medal-winning boxer.

He was arrested during protests for freedom and is now imprisoned and tortured by the regime in Iran.

Farshad is at immediate risk of execution.

How many more names before people start paying attention?

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

I'm been off social media for Passover, so am late to this, but just wanted to highlight some excellent recent work by my @theatlantic.com colleagues: First, Amogh Dimri on how online clipping culture sanitizes Nick Fuentes for mainstream audiences. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Illiberalism Is Not Inevitable If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Congratulatory messages have been coming in for Hungary's new leader, Peter Magyar, including from EU chiefs.

A huge sigh of relief in Brussels, but also for millions of normal, decent people, not least the younger generation in Budapest.
