As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

(I suppose there may be one “good” - tho dubious - in our having had a Trump presidency - is its revealing just how racist a country we really are - from the least of us all the way up to the Supreme Court - something that’s not news to about 40% of Americans of color - who deal with this daily.)

Reading much tonight on Charlie Kirk, who he was, what he said and believed -- from both admirers and those deeply opposed. It does not matter. None of it. What matters is that political violence made routine against any voice, left or right, marks us as a failing, dying republic. This is horror.
