Octavia Butler Predicted Our Dystopian Present. What Can a Futurist Learn From Her Chilling Accuracy? 

/

When the Los Angeles fires began last January, the designer and futurist Tracee Worley was re-reading Parable of the Sower, Octavia Butler’s chillingly prescient novel, written in 1993 but set in the 2020s.

A Photographer’s View of ICE’s Relentless Courthouse Arrests

/

When it happens, it’s so much quieter, so much quicker than you expect. Each weekday immigrants make their way through the halls of 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, uneasy and confused, searching for the right courtroom for their asylum hearing. Most carry a handful of documents and dress in their sharpest outfits. They turn a […]

An Economy Based on Carbon Waste? Don’t Laugh. It Might Just Save Us.

/

The US government is a big-time hoarder. At last count, in three locations—Denver, Fort Knox, and West Point—it had socked away 248,046,115.696 troy ounces of gold. One might think to round that to the nearest ounce, but at today’s prices, that extra 0.304 ounces of gold would fetch about $1,060 and the entire hoard is […]

Dr. Phil Opens Up About His Role In Trump’s Police State

/

Dr. Phil McGraw, the daytime television psychologist-turned-Trump surrogate, really wants you to believe a ludicrous claim: He is just not that into politics. “I don’t think I’m qualified to talk about politics,” he told the New York Times, in a new profile published on Sunday. This is absurd. As my colleagues Inae Oh and Isabela […]

Anti-Immigrant Language Is Rising—Even on the Left

/

During the 2025 Grammy Awards—the same night he made outdated quips about Colombian cocaine when speaking about Shakira—host Trevor Noah joked that 13,000 members of the Recording Academy had voted for the night’s winners—before adding, “and 20 million illegal immigrants.” The joke led to massive backlash online and an eyeroll from Doechii on the night.

How a Nazi-Obsessed Amateur Historian Went From Obscurity to the Top of Substack

/

Nearly a decade ago, Darryl Cooper, then a little-known amateur historian, agreed to appear on Rebel Yell, a self-described “Southern Nationalist podcast of the Alt-Right.” Cooper’s decision to come on the show was not the norm. The show funneled donations to Jason Kessler, the white supremacist who organized the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. […]
