For consumers, it’s a solidarity boycott. “Crossing the line” can mean either working during the strike (otherwise known as scabbing) or continuing to buy goods and services from the place where workers are striking at. Read more

Last spring, a producer for Tucker Carlson invited my former colleague Brendan O’Connor onto Fox News to discuss a recent encounter between the Democratic Socialists of America and Milo Yiannopoulos. For a couple of hours, Brendan seemed into doing it, if only to make fun of the host. I decided it was my job, for a… Read more

I talked to several developmental psychologists for this story--all agreed that these sorts of “fantasy movies” are a dangerous barrier to maturity. Perhaps you should heed their warning.  Read more

I realize at this point, it’s really low on the things that we should care about, but, do you think anyone could explain to him how quotations work?  Functioning government, world respect, we’ve lost all those things, but we should still care about the grammar. Read more

Powerful piece, Nick. Thanks for writing. Read more

This is not a game of Who’s More Native? It is a simple question of to whom Elizabeth Warren feels responsible to when she travels to Washington. If her record is any indication, it is not Native peoples. Read more

Gotta say, as someone agnostic on Warren, I am astounded that she was tone-deaf and ignorant enough to go full Blood Quantum/Race Science on this. What an absolutely embarrassing own goal. There were people defending this here on the original piece, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how/why. Read more

There’s really no positive spin on this. I never thought she was going to be a real serious candidate in 2020 (because she’s old and not a very good politician), but holy shit, this was a terribly dumb thing to do. Even as a cynical ploy to troll the president it makes no sense that she thought she would come out of… Read more
