Even with the blood of defenseless children flowing along the corridors of schoolhouses, the U.S. government has abdicated its duty to protect. And that, it bears repeating ad nauseum, is a national disgrace.

The bewitching splendor of an eclipse, in 13 vintage photos

On August 21, 2017, millions of Americans will get the chance to see a total solar eclipse. Technically, this cosmic phenomenon isn’t all that rare — an eclipse can be seen from somewhere on this planet every 18 months or so. But to be able to watch the moon blot the sun right out of the sky from your particular spot on Earth? Well, that happens only once in a lifetime.

Watch people watch the eclipse here.

El internet, en lugar de llevar a una cultura global de masas, ha ayudado a "democratizar" la música permitiendo a los músicos de países más pequeños hacer y distribuir sus productos más fácilmente.

The fears of political journalists run much deeper. There is a legitimate concern that a Trump administration will work to intentionally deceive the media, blacklist reporters it doesn’t like and incite violence against them by calling them out in public. Why do reporters have those fears? Because that is exactly what Trump did during the campaign. There is no reason to believe that will change. We may be in a honeymoon period of unity and compromise now, but honeymoons don’t last for four years. They usually last for two weeks. In May, after a particularly nasty round of name-calling and stonewalling by Trump, one reporter asked: “Is this what it’s going to be like covering you if you’re president?” “Yeah, it is,” Trump said. “I’m going to continue to attack the press.”

In late October, Donald Trump released an action plan for what he hopes to accomplish in his first 100 days in office. Below, NPR reporters and editors from the politics team and other coverage areas have annotated Trump’s plan. We’ve added context on several of his proposals, including whether he can really repeal Obamacare and what a hiring freeze on the federal workforce would actually look like. You can see a nonannotated version of “Donald Trump’s Contract With The American Voter” here.

El entorno que ha hecho posible el alza de Trump tiene más en común con Tailandia en el 2000 y Turquía en el 2010 que Italia o Alemania en 1933, y el planteamiento político de Trump está más cerca al de el presidente de Turquía, Recep Tayip Erdogan, el presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, el expresidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, o el primer ministro de Tailandia, Thaksin Shinawatra
