    Mark Zuckerberg’s Social Reckoning (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and C.E.O. of Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, has tried to defend his business to the public, it’s generally gone poorly. (“I think I’m actually well known to be sort of bad at this,” the billionaire confessed, while giving testimony at a trial in February.) Confronted with leaked internal documents showing that Meta’s products made body-image issues worse for one in three teen girls, and that many of them blamed Facebook and Instagram

    What Francesca Hong’s Defeat Means for Democrats (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Outside of Presidential elections, most political races—even those on which the future of a party is said to hinge—are fiercely contested by only a small number of people. Last night, in Madison, Wisconsin, I pulled up a little late to what was supposed to be a victory party for Francesca Hong, a democratic-socialist state legislator whose rise in the state’s gubernatorial primary was understood to portend a major breakthrough for the left. There was no trouble getting inside. A music venu

    Max Miller’s Victim Mentality (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In June of 2025, five days after two Democratic state legislators in Minnesota were shot on their doorsteps by a man posing as a cop, Max Miller, a young Republican congressman from Ohio, said that he, too, had been the victim of a startling act of political violence. Miller, who comes from a prominent Jewish family in Cleveland and is avowedly pro-Israel, said in both a call to 911 and then in a defiant social-media post that, while driving on Interstate 90, a man in a Tesla waving a Palestinia

    Which Way Should the Democratic Party Go Now? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    At seven-fifteen in the morning on Monday, July 13th, when Democrats in Maine were in the midst of a hastily created process to find a replacement for Graham Platner, who had just withdrawn as their nominee for the U.S. Senate race, a security camera in the city of Biddeford captured a white Kia circling slowly through an intersection. The driver, a twenty-five-year-old immigrant from Colombia named Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, had been shot and killed by an ICE agent. This winter, after feder
