Banning smoking in public housing sounds unobjectionable, but subjects poor people to increasing surveillance and criminalization...

It is understandable, given everything else going on, that there has not been much controversy around Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) new plan to ban smoking in all public housing. And after all, why should there be controversy? Liberals like the smoking ban because it’s a public...

It's Noam Chomsky's 88th Birthday! To celebrate, here's a piece from our latest print edition, in which Norbert Hornstein and Nathan Robinson defend Chomsky against some scurrilous criticisms.

Nearly everybody who ever writes about Noam Chomsky badly misstates his beliefs. That’s somewhat predictable, since the moment you discuss him to begin with, you’ve already rejected one of his most important principles, which is that when it comes to politics and science, the ideas advanced are far…

Amber A'Lee Frost tries to find a decent meal in Times Square...

It’s an undignified way for an adult human being to carry their belongings. Take a cue from the locals and carry a purse (or—I’m sorry—“messenger bag,” if you’re really that insecure), but have some self-respect and get a grown-up bag. Moreover, wearing a backpack so guilelessly identifies one as an...

Examining why we care about public schools to begin with...

The same words can have very different connotations to listeners on the right and listeners on the left. When Donald Trump told his supporters that he would soon be sending Hillary Clinton to jail, liberals were appalled. They insisted Trump was behaving like an “authoritarian strongman” who promise...

The first step to stopping climate change is for experts to behave as if it's an actual problem... https://www.currentaffairs.org/…/11/the-climate-change-prob…

Let me make a confession to you. I don’t believe that human-caused climate change is a serious problem. Now let me be clear: when I look at the empirical evidence, I am very much convinced that it is a serious problem. In fact, every time I dig into the facts, read the reports of experts, try to und...
