Some people have reacted to the post I published on racism in law enforcement earlier this week and the conversations I had with them have convinced me that I should write a follow-up to clarify some points. First, some took issue with…

It’s really amazing, although not surprising, that Democrats spend most of their time and energy trying to oppose people whose nomination to the Cabinet would be relatively benign, even from a liberal point of view, but almost completely ignore those who are…
There is apparently a university in the US which is considered a paradise for conservatives. If you ask me, this kind of bubble sounds more like a nightmare. I’m sure most liberal academics who read this will agree, but instead of making fun…
After the death of Laquan McDonald (which for what it’s worth strikes me as being murder pure and simple, but this has no bearing on what I’m going to be talking about), the Mayor of Chicago created a task force, with the…
