<\/a><\/p>\nRadley Balko: studies, surveys, and reports on the disparate ways white, Black, and Latino people are treated by police, prosecutors, courts, and prisons<\/a><\/h2>\nFirst, the main question you tend to get when pointing to this kind of research is whether it factors in the difference in crime rates between Black, white and Latino people. The answer is that many of them do. Some don\u2019t. And in some cases, it isn\u2019t all that relevant. … Second, you\u2019ll notice that this post is inconsistent about capitalizing \u201cwhite\u201d and \u201cBlack.\u201d … Third, this list isn\u2019t comprehensive. I\u2019m not sure that would be possible. … Finally, this is obviously a big undertaking \u2014 and an ongoing one. …<\/p>\n
\n- Policing and Profiling\n
- Fines and fees, misdemeanors, petty crimes, and driver\u2019s license suspensions\n
- The drug war\n
- Juries and jury selection\n
- The death penalty\n
- Prosecutors, discretion and plea bargaining\n
- Judges and sentencing\n
- Kids, school suspensions, and the school-to-prison pipeline\n
- Prison, incarceration, probation and parole, and solitary confinement\n
- Innocence, bail, pretrial detention, forensics, commutations and pardons, gangs, and other issues\n
- The rebuttal: Contrarian studies on race and the criminal justice system\n<\/ul>\n

You get to hate people who speak a language you never learned, people whose skin looks nothing like yours, people who vote the opposite of you, people who cheer for the team you swore off years ago. Hate all day long if you choose. Hate what they say. Hate what they do. Hate what they think. …

Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – July 8, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nAs Tom Nichols noted in The Atlantic<\/em>, the U.S. emphatically does not have the Strait of Hormuz. \u201cIran, Not Trump, Is in Control of This War,\u201d the title of Nichols\u2019s article reads. It goes on to say that the Iranians are calling the shots in the war and \u201care routinely humiliating the American president.\u201d The so-called ceasefire was likely intended to calm oil markets, Nichols says; neither side ever stopped shooting.<\/p>\nLike many other observers, Nichols noted that Trump was \u201cincoherent\u201d in Ankara. He referred to Iran as the \u201cIslamic Republic of Japan\u201d and referred to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky as \u201cPresident Putin.\u201d In an off-with-their-heads! moment, he also announced he had ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all trade with Spain.
\n…<\/p>\n
As economist Paul Krugman notes in his newsletter, cutting off trade with Spain is simply not going to happen. First of all, Trump does not have the authority to do any such thing. Second, the U.S. actually does a lot of business with Spain, and American businesses would not accept any such cuts. But even more, it is impossible because Spain is part of the European Union. As Krugman notes, this declaration is rather like Europe declaring it is going to cut off all trade with Florida.
\n…<\/p>\n
A German official was more succinct: \u201cEuropeans don\u2019t take Trump seriously any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Steven Rattner of MS NOW noted today that Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Trump\u2019s sons have raised about $13 billion in investment capital from foreign governments, mostly in the Middle East, even as Kushner is working for Trump as special envoy to the region.

Robert Reich: [ICE] arrests have doubled, its budget has tripled, its illegalities have multiplied<\/a><\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re like me, you don\u2019t want to think about anything Trump is doing that you don\u2019t have to think about. The horrific domestic police called ICE, for example, appears to have quieted down. So we can erase it from our minds, right?<\/p>\n
