Portrait of a No Kings Rally
I want to share a few photos of Saturday’s No Kings event in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Yes, to the critics, I share your concerns. These things are full of more U.S. flags than a Trump rally, and stacks and stacks of signs promoting patriotism, and a whole forest of signs telling people to do nothing for years and then “Vote!” — an absurdity that I don’t think you could find in any other country.

Let me do something I seldom do and briefly predict the future in an up-close-and-personal fashion. Count on this: on November 4th, Zohran Mamdani will indeed be elected mayor of New York City.

Albert Einstein and the Problem of War
Although Albert Einstein is best-known as a theoretical physicist, he also spent much of his life grappling with the problem of war.
In 1914, shortly after he moved to Berlin to serve as director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics, Einstein was horrified by the onset of World War I. “Europe, in her insanity, has started something unbelievable,” he told a friend. “In such times one realizes to what a sad species of animal one belongs.” Writing to the French author Romain Rolland,
