If a US president wanted to make millions of people around the world hate America, personally interfering in the #WorldCup officiating process would be perfect. So naturally #Trump did just that.

My reaction exactly.

Everything he touches turns to shit. I love the U.S. team but cannot root for them tomorrow. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

Neo-Nazis in Washington DC for Trump July 4 event. What a photograph.

We shouldn't need to say this, but Venezuela is not--and should not be--a colony of the United States. We are so many people in the media acting as if it is? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/27/w...

We should be clear: The Trump administration does not seek democracy in Venezuela. It seeks a colony. Colonialism and democracy don't mix.

Yglesias: "The 2024 election showed that the party is simply not large enough to command a majority of the country." Gaslighting. Democrats won popular vote in 7 of 8 presidential elections before 2024 and Senate popular vote in EVERY 6 year cycle since 2000 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/o...

Fujimorismo wins in Peru. This is the biggest threat to Peruvian democracy since...Fujimori.

I'll take that marginal change. We also hope this will have at least a modest signaling effect. But I long for those A-/B+ days.

It's 20% + 4, so if you have a class of 10 and have an exceptionally strong set of papers, you can award up to 6 As. That seems reasonable to me. We estimate we will award 30 percent As, which is where we were a decade ago (and higher than when I started). Students weren't so demoralized then.

I voted for it. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Corruption without parallel. Outside of dictatorships in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, this could not happen in any other country in the hemisphere. wapo.st/4wB2OqJ

Grading final exams for my Latin American politics class, I encounered a reference to the human rights activism of the Mothers of the Cinco de Mayo.

I don't share her political views, but Maria Corina Machado is the unambiguous leader of Venezuela's pro-democratic forces. She needs to go back to Venezuela
