vox.com
Tradwives are everywhere on social media. Their allegedly dominant spouses are invisible.

With all the talk about the East Wing demolition and the now-$300 million ballroom, here's a piece I wrote about why Trump is so obsessed with aesthetics and projects just like this:

The president’s tacky aesthetic is a window into his quest to become the single most enduring symbol of America.

A few narrow pathways still exist to hold ICE accountable for its illegal behavior — but thanks to SCOTUS, they are unlikely to provide a meaningful check on the agency’s behavior.

Read @joshuakeating on the Israel-Hamas deal. As welcome as an end to this is, there are grim lessons Israel and other nations could learn from its war of annihilation.

No beards, a warrior ethos — and loyalty to the president.

Life in Tel Aviv feels almost normal - while, an hour away, my government starves and bombs children my kids’ age. As the UN debates Palestinian statehood, I wrote in The @BostonGlobe about complicity, resistance, and why silence is not an option: https://t.co/bHvvG37fWn

What’s happening in Gaza is sickening. How do I reconcile the fact that life goes on as normal in Israel?
