Mayor Zohran Mamdani charged Benjamin Nentayahu with genocide, said he is unwelcome in New York City, and called for his arrest. Two years ago, that would have been unimaginable. Going forward, it should be a litmus test.

I know I’m in the minority here. I really did try to like it. But Christopher Nolan has taken the wiliest, most delightful hero in Western literature and turned him into one more Nolan sad sack, trudging guilt-stricken through a gray and godless world.

The Soviet collapse in 1991 was so sudden and comprehensive that it came to seem inevitable. New work by historians of the USSR asks whether the system’s crisis could have ended in reform of its structures rather than disintegration.

Right-wing and centrist pundits, and even House Speaker Mike Johnson, have rushed to denounce the Democratic Socialists of America’s new “Workers Deserve More” platform. But the platform’s central insights are hard to dispute.
