Former “free speech” crusaders have ushered in an unprecedented campaign of censorship in Texas universities, resulting in pulitzer winning books being banned, medical and scientific facts being suppressed, and entire fields of study deemed “woke” being eliminated www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

...to Seoul, South Korea where I sat alongside former “comfort women,” women who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military; to Nagasaki, Japan where I learned from atomic bomb survivors; to Bariloche,Argentina where I followed the trail of Nazis who fled to South America after the war...

...and to Germany where I spent time with Holocaust survivors and people who built the memorials to that violent past. Each of the people and places I visited reminded me that how we tell the story of the past shapes our understanding of the world today.

Over the course of the past five years, I traveled to a dozen countries across four continents. I visited the Navajo Nation where I spent time with surviving Navajo Code Talkers; to California where I spoke with people who were held in Japanese American incarceration camps...

A good World Cup was the best thing that could have ever happened to Odegaard. Man has been on fire since.

If Saka, Havertz, and Odegaard can stay healthy this year it’s basically like new signings

That might be the best defensive tournament of all time by Spain. 1 goal conceded is nuts.

KING JUDE

Can’t believe I was talking trash about the 3rd place game. I was wrong

TAKE DECLAN RICE OFF THE FIELD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

All the more baffling that Saka didn’t touch the field in the semifinal against Argentina…

Wonderful now get Rice and Saka off the field please

This is 1000% on Tuchel. Just cowardly tactics after the goal. Horrendous.

Unreal

It was coming

I am a certified Rodri hater, but he was phenomenal today. I hate that he’s back to his best.

Spain’s midfield has been in complete control of this game. It’s not even really been close.

Spain doing this to France *without* Pedri on the field is wild

Wow France crumbling
