NPR built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In "Chapter 2: Stop the Steal," we look at how false claims of a stolen election mobilized Trump supporters.
I have such huge respect for Teri Kanefield and her writing. I took some time to really read through this linked post and have learned so much from her.
This image captures Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visiting the northeastern town of Kupiansk on December 12, 2025. The tweet from the official Ukraine account highlights a series of events leading up to the visit, contrasting Russian claims of control over Kupiansk with the reality of Ukrainian presence. On November 20, a Russian general reportedly told Putin that Kupiansk was under control. On December 2, Putin invited foreign media to the town, likely to showcase Russian occupation. The image shows Zelenskyy in the town on December 12, indicating it is under Ukrainian control and reinforcing Ukraine's diplomatic position.
This man doesn't just lead from the rear.
Slava Ukraini!
What a consequential figure she has been. Such a role model for me. For all of us.
What an important, unflinching piece. A strong reminder to those of us who read and loved The Double Helix years ago that one great thing will never make Watson a worthy person.

American journalist, historian, and author Anne Applebaum on the West's biggest mistake in Russia's war against #Ukraine:
"The West doesn't understand the extremism of Putinism. They keep imagining that there's a deal to be done, that if we just give Crimea to Russia, then he'll stop fighting.⤵️

The Atlantic has been providing must-read in-depth coverage of politics for generations. It's absolutely worth a subscription. Here's an article I recall from 2016 by Rosie Gray. RFK Jr. has nothing on this terrible man.
In his Easter message, President Zelenskyy raises an existential question that many Ukrainians have had for years: “how can we not lose faith after everything we're going through?” After all the suffering and devastation. The answer is hope — something strong inside you that keeps you from giving up
As a decades-long subscriber to The Atlantic, I have the sudden urge to buy multiple subscriptions
Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Youngish male adults are about to get clobbered.
"Guys are about to lose billions and billions of dollars a year on apps designed to obscure risk and keep them coming back for a dopamine hit. Trump and Musk can afford to lose huge sums. Most young American men cannot."
Just read Paul Krugman's recent article on crypto on Substack. Reminded me of an article in The Atlantic, The Three Pillars of the Bro Economy. With the new administration we're re-entering the wild west with crypto, day trading, and sports betting.
