  • First They Came for the TransgenderMay 26, 2025
    On May 6, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to allow President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender military service to go into effect.

  • After the Bunker: What We Know, and Why It MattersMay 1, 2025
    Over the last eleven posts, I have retraced the final eleven days of Adolf Hitler’s life—from his 56th birthday in a burning Berlin to his final breath in a concrete bunker.

    In the charred, flickering world beneath Berlin, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun were married.

Walter Wagner, a minor Nazi official, was called in to perform the brief proceedings.… Read more: Part 9: April 28, 1945 – Wedding Day
