Donald Trump’s crackdown on antisemitism seems to have strangely missed all of his appointees and allies who associate with a range of unabashed anti-Jewish bigots. It almost makes you suspect the White House’s charges of antisemitism are purely cynical.
In Romania’s integration into European capitalism, the tough years after the 2008 crisis broke the illusion of continuous progress. The losers of that period are today swinging to far-right parties who tell a story of national victimhood.
Public pools are a vital resource in the United States. We need more of them.

Former Colombian president Álvaro Uribe was convicted this month of bribing witnesses, making him the first head of state in modern Colombia to face a criminal conviction. The case is roiling the country’s political landscape.

The lack of popular rebellion in Russia is often cast in terms of mass depoliticization. Yet working-class Russians do express political attitudes, often voicing a familiar frustration that the future has been taken from them.
