When did college go from maker of the American Dream to breaker? What really caused the hatred of college/non-college divide between Dems, GOP? Is it fixable? I put everything into these questions and my book, After the Ivory Tower Falls. Preorder it now

From the Orwellian lies to the military intimidation targeting Black people that will soon clash with dissent, everything about Trump's D.C. police takeover reeks of hardcore fascism. Not a distraction. The plan from Day One. My new column

The press freedom crisis in America isn't capitulation at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state. My new column

It used to be a conspiracy theory: Trump will cancel the 2026 midterms. But the Texas remapping outrage is a plan to do exactly that, as gerrymandering spreads to multiple states. The next election will be decided by a computer, not a campaign. My column

Brown's liberal, open curriculum taught me higher ed wasn't just career prep but reading the great books and learning to be a good citizen. My alma mater's capitulation to the Trump regime makes me wonder if my dream was a mirage. A personal new column
