Steve Dinoman' Springer turned his suburban home into a makeshift carnival and public education center: You come here to get away from the world'Amid the endless winding streets of Henderson, Nevada, one house breaks the mold. Its front yard - no grass, just desert rock - is home to 62 rainbow-painted dinosaurs, dragons, turtles and spiders. A sign on the garage reads: Shan-gri-la Prehistoric Park", complete with visiting hours.On a recent spring Friday at noon, the garage door hums open, letting in the harsh sun. Steve Springer, or Dinoman" as he's lovingly known by regulars of the park, ties a short black apron printed with cartoon dinosaurs around his waist. At 72, he likes to wear flip-flops with black socks and round glasses that make his eyes look tiny. Continue reading...
California's governor has responding forcefully to the many threats Trump has imposed upon his state - and the countryWhen Donald Trump landed in Los Angeles to tour the ruins left by January's devastating wildfires, just days after being sworn in for a second term, California's governor, Gavin Newsom, was waiting on the tarmac to greet him. The surprisingly warm exchange between two longtime political rivals seemed to reflect a new reality: with a vengeful Trump back in the White House, fire-ravaged California - and its Democratic governor - had a great deal at stake.In the weeks that followed, Newsom met with Trump at the White House to lobby for federal disaster relief, then approved funding to strengthen the state's legal defenses against challenges from the Trump administration. He invited Maga-world fixtures on to his podcast, including Steve Bannon, and infuriated progressives, and even some allies, when he said that it was deeply unfair" for transgender athletes to compete in girls' sports - a wedge issue central to Trump's conservative agenda. All the while, his state was suing the Trump administration - over executive actions on immigration, federal funding and tariffs - at a rate of more than one lawsuit a week. Continue reading...

A president who vowed to end global conflicts has instead presided over their escalation - his agenda is in disarrayIn his inaugural address this January, Donald Trump declared that his proudest legacy would be that of a peacemaker and unifier", pledging that US power would stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable".Five months later, his second presidency is witnessing the spectacular unraveling of that lofty aspiration.

If Trump wants to be the peacemaker he claims to be, he must negotiate a new deal with TehranBefore dawn on Friday, Israel unleashed a wave of air strikes against more than 100 targets in Iran, including nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and air defense systems. The surprise Israeli attack also killed some of Iran's most senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. The Iranian regime called it a declaration of war" - and western powers raced to prevent a wider regional conflict that could draw in the US along with other countries in the Middle East.While the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claims that he's trying to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, the attack is as much intended to blow up ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Donald Trump's administration. While Trump's overall foreign policy has been a disaster, for months he had resisted Netanyahu's pleas to give Israel a green light to attack Iran, with US assistance. Trump insisted he wanted a chance to negotiate a deal with Iran's leaders that would compel Tehran to give up its nuclear program in exchange for relief from US and other international sanctions.Mohamad Bazzi is director of the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies, and a journalism professor at New York University Continue reading...
Eight women have appealed the NCAA's antitrust deal, arguing it violates Title IX and unfairly favors men's sports. Here's what the settlement does and what's nextCollege athletes spent decades fighting for the right to make money from their name, image and likeness (NIL). In 2021, they won. Now, a $2.8bn NCAA settlement is set to compensate hundreds of thousands of current and former athletes who missed out on those earnings. But not everyone thinks the deal is fair.Eight female athletes filed an appeal this week, arguing the agreement violates Title IX, the US law banning sex-based discrimination in education. They say the way the money is divided, largely favoring football and men's basketball players, shortchanges women by more than $1bn. Continue reading...

Sam Burns shot 65 on a day Oakmont took a chunk out of the rest of the fieldBrooks Koepka finds the par-five 12th in two big bloots, then nearly makes the eagle putt from 26 feet. Not quite, but that's back-to-back birdies for Brooks, a fine response to that opening bogey. He closes in on the lead at -3. But not such good news for his playing partner Justin Thomas, who three-putts from three feet and chalks up a double bogey. JT shot 76 yesterday, and surviving the cut is already looking like a pipe dream. He's +9.Jordan Spieth can't make his par putt on 2. He slips back to +1. Also heading in the wrong direction is his playing partner, the 2021 champion Jon Rahm. The 30-year-old Spaniard is busy rediscovering his major-championship form after some mixed experiences of late, and opened with a fine 69 yesterday. But his first shot this morning found a fairway bunker and led to bogey. He's level par now, and has just hit another wild tee shot, this time so far left at 3 that he clears the Church Pew bunker and ends up on the 4th fairway. No real harm done there.

Trump claims they signify a foreign invasion' but experts say they're flown by US citizens proud of their heritageAt the White House on Wednesday, the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told reporters Donald Trump's decision to dispatch the military to Los Angeles had been triggered by something he'd seen: images of foreign flags being waved" during protests over federal immigration raids.Leavitt did not specify which images the president had been so disturbed by, but the fact that some protesters denouncing his immigration crackdown have waved Mexican, Guatemalan and Salvadorian flags, or hybrid flags that combine those banners with the American flag, has been taken as an affront by supporters of his mass deportation campaign.

After Israel's attacks on Iran and Ukraine's on Russia, it is time the administration finds discipline and focus to regain authority of its foreign policyIran and the US have stood at a crossroads in recent weeks. Down one path lay negotiations that, while difficult, promised benefits to the citizens of both countries. Down the other path, a protracted war that promised little more than destruction.Back in 2018, Donald Trump had blocked the diplomatic path by tearing up the existing nuclear agreement with Iran - the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. But since beginning his second term in January he has been surprisingly open to negotiations with Tehran. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, seemed ready to go along. Continue reading...

War is the prime minister's doctrine. Israel's strikes on Iran - falsely described as pre-emptive - are the latest exampleBenjamin Netanyahu must be stopped. The Israeli prime minister's lust for war as a solution to his myriad problems is nothing short of a threat to us all, one that extends far beyond Israel's neighbors. Netanyahu knows no other way. War is his doctrine. War is his reflex. War is his answer. He believes the power of war will unite Israeli society and will stifle any American criticism of him, necessary since the machinery he needs to make his wars comes mostly from Washington. And, with his aggression against Iran, he seeks to drag the United States further into another endless military quagmire in the region and light the world on fire.Early on Friday morning, Israel launched a series of unprovoked strikes against Iran, targeting Iran's nuclear energy facilities, its top scientists, its military commanders, and parts of its military and civilian infrastructure. Television images show a residential building in Tehran damaged by what looks like a missile attack. Iran, which has not suffered an assault this severe since its war with Iraq in the 1980s, is reporting at least 70 people killed and 320 injured thus far. Meanwhile, Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza continues out of the public eye, as an internet blackout halted most aid operations.Moustafa Bayoumi is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...

The Trump administration's immigration raids in Los Angeles prompted mostly peaceful protests, which escalated when the president sent in the national guard - and then the US marines. Here is a video timeline of how the crisis has unfolded so far
For the past decade, the US press has fueled a moral panic over leftists on campus while failing to report on the right's assaultUS universities are facing the Trump regime's fury. The justification given by the regime is that universities are run by leftist ideologues, who have indoctrinated students to adopt supposedly leftist ideological orientations, as well as hostility to Israel, anti-whiteness and trans inclusivity. Donald Trump and his allies believe the election gave them the mandate to crush America's system of higher education. But what may be less clear is that it is the mainstream media's obsession with leftists on campus that has led to the current moment.The US mainstream media has waged a decade-long propaganda campaign against American universities, culminating in the systematic misrepresentation of last year's campus anti-war protests. This campaign has been the normalizing force behind the Trump administration's attack on universities, as well as a primary cause of his multiple electoral successes. Unless the media recognizes the central role it has played, we cannot expect the attack to relent.Jason Stanley is Jacob Urowsky professor of philosophy at Yale University.

Imagining how the media would cover the troops in Los Angeles or the detention of a sitting senator is a useful exerciseAt times the gesture can seem like a cliche, but I like to imagine, for the sake of perspective, how political developments in the United States would be covered by the media if they were happening in any other country. I imagine that Thursday's events in Los Angeles might be spoken of like this:A prominent opposition leader was attacked by regime security forces on Thursday in the presence of the national security tsar, as he voiced opposition to the federal military occupation of the US's second-largest city following street demonstrations against the regime's mass deportation efforts.

As in 1925, when Mussolini was in power, we must openly defy the brutal imposition of the fascist ideologyOn 1 May 1925, with Benito Mussolini already in power, a group of Italian intellectuals publicly denounced his fascist regime in an open letter. The signatories - scientists, philosophers, writers and artists - took a stand in support of the essential tenets of a free society: the rule of law, personal liberty and independent thinking, culture, art and science. Their open defiance against the brutal imposition of the fascist ideology - at great personal risk - proved that opposition was not only possible, but necessary. Today, 100 years later, the threat of fascism is back - and so we must summon that courage and defy it again.Fascism emerged in Italy a century ago, marking the advent of modern dictatorship. Within a few years, it spread across Europe and the world, taking different names but maintaining similar forms. Wherever it seized power, it undermined the separation of powers in the service of autocracy, silenced opposition through violence, took control of the press, halted the advancement of women's rights and crushed workers' struggles for economic justice. Inevitably, it permeated and distorted all institutions devoted to scientific, academic and cultural activities. Its cult of death exalted imperial aggression and genocidal racism, triggering the second world war, the Holocaust, the death of tens of millions of people and crimes against humanity.Defend democratic, cultural and educational institutions. Call out abuses of democratic principles and human rights. Refuse pre-emptive compliance.Join collective actions, locally and internationally. Boycott and strike when possible. Make resistance impossible to ignore and costly to repress.Uphold facts and evidence. Foster critical thinking and engage with your communities on these grounds.Nobel laureates: Eric Maskin, Roger B Myerson, Alvin E Roth, Lars Peter Hansen, Oliver Hart, Daron Acemoglu, Wolfgang Ketterle, John C Mather, Brian P Schmidt, Michel Mayor, Takaaki Kajita, Giorgio Parisi, Pierre Agostini, Joachim Frank, Richard J Roberts, Leland Hartwell, Paul Nurse, Jack W Szostak, Edvard I Moser, May-Britt Moser, Harvey James Alter, Victor Ambros, Gary Ruvkun, Barry James Marshall, Craig Mello, Charles RiceLeading scholars on fascism and democracy: Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Timothy Snyder, Jason Stanley, Claudia Koonz, Mia Fuller, Giovanni De Luna and Andrea MammoneThe full list of signatories can be found here Continue reading...

Protest actions like Hands Off' and No Kings' are sweeping across the US. But the media is barely paying attentionWhen hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered across the US on 5 April for the Hands Off" events protesting Donald Trump and Elon Musk's governmental wrecking ball, much of the news media seemed to yawn.The next day, the New York Times put a photograph, but no story, on its print front page. The Wall Street Journal's digital homepage had it as only the 20th-most-prominent story when I checked. Fox News was dismissive; I stopped counting after I scanned 40 articles on its homepage, though there was a video with this dismissive headline: Liberals rally against President Trump."Margaret Sullivan is a Guardian US columnist writing on media, politics and culture Continue reading...
Four years after the January 6 attack, the president is toying with invoking the Insurrection Act to respond to a conflict he provokedDonald Trump's stages of insurrection have passed from trying to suppress one that didn't exist, to creating one himself, to generating a local incident he falsely depicts as a national emergency. In every case, whether he inflates himself into the strongman putting down an insurrection or acts as the instigator-in-chief, his routine has been to foster violence, spawn chaos and show contempt for the law.In his first term, Trump reportedly asked the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Mark Milley, Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?" Trump was agitated about protesters in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. On 1 June, Trump ordered the US Park police to clear the park. Some charged on horses into the crowd. Trump emerged after the teargas wafted away to walk through the park, ordering Milley to accompany him, and stood in front of St John's Church on the other side to display a Bible upside down.Sidney Blumenthal, a former senior adviser to President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, has published three books of a projected five-volume political life of Abraham Lincoln: A Self-Made Man, Wrestling With His Angel and All the Powers of Earth.

After the US pipped France in the final, Haliburton posted a selfie with his gold medal. When you ain't do nun on the group project and still get an A," he wrote. Continue reading...
