- Description
- In the 1930s, a radical conservative faction almost pushed Finland into full authoritarianism. Called the Lapua movement, it was a far-right group of Finns who sought to overthrow the republic, marginalize communists, and install an authoritarian government. They managed to disrupt Finland’s political order through threats of violence and symbolic kidnappings, in which they would capture political rivals and drive them to the Soviet border.
They earned the support of center-right and moderate politicians who believed they could harness the passion and support of this radical nationalist group. The movement also included prominent businessmen, newspaper owners, and key members of the military.
But then… something happened. Almost overnight, the Lapua movement collapsed. Within three years of its founding, this far-right faction was banned from Finnish politics, and democracy in Finland has been stable ever since.

- Description
- Americans are increasingly living in two different realities when it comes to immigration and ICE enforcement — realities shaped by the social media platforms they use. On TikTok and Instagram, left-leaning content often frames ICE encounters as abuses of power, while on X and Facebook, right-leaning narratives portray the same incidents as justified law enforcement responses to obstruction or violence. In this Reporter Extra, Vox correspondent Christian Paz, who recently reported on right-wing ICE narratives online, explains how social media is deepening polarization and distorting our shared sense of the truth.

Why do we love football so much? Why does this sport dominate American culture in a way nothing else can? Why does it feel essential even to people who barely like sports? And what does it say about us that we keep watching, even as the risks and contradictions become harder to ignore?
Today’s guest is Chuck Klosterman, cultural critic and bestselling author, whose new book Football tries to explain the game at the height of its power. Sean and Chuck talk about how football became the defining spectacle of modern America, why it’s easily the best television show we’ve ever seen, and why it presents a ton of moral dilemmas we can’t really solve.

- Minnesota has become ground zero for the biggest federal immigration operation in US history. Thousands of immigration officers are patrolling the streets of Minneapolis, leading to the death of one anti-ICE protester, Renee Nicole Good, and setting off a massive swirl of protests.
Vice President JD Vance visited Minneapolis late this week — showing his support for law enforcement, and sending a political message at the same time: that this White House is doubling down on its war against blue cities, and Minneapolis specifically.
Now, President Trump has subpoenaed the state’s top Democratic officials, alleging they were impeding federal immigration enforcement actions. The Justice Department has promised to arrest anyone who impedes the immigration enforcement actions, and a Trump official accused some state officials of “terrorism.” With Minnesota now in a full-blown conflict with the Trump administration, the Democratic state leadership is front an...

- After returning to the White House, President Trump signed an executive order stripping birthright citizenship away from the children of undocumented parents and temporary visa holders, which set in motion a series of lawsuits blocking its enforcement. And now, it’s headed to the Supreme Court in a case called Trump v. Barbara.
For well over 100 years, birthright citizenship has been enshrined in the Constitution,with the understanding that anyone born on US soil is granted citizenship.
But in Trump v. Barbara, the administration claims that the law applies to those who are not just born in the United States but also “owe allegiance” to it.
The plaintiffs represent a group of people affected by Trump’s executive order, and their argument is simple: Leave birthright citizenship alone.

Bridges take years to construct. Housing costs are soaring. Transit systems are crumbling. And we’re struggling to update our infrastructure to prepare for the climate crisis. Even when there’s broad agreement that something needs to be done, collective action feels impossible. Why is that?

- The town of Oswego, New York, has three nuclear power plants within 10 miles — and it wants another one. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul recently announced a commitment to add a gigawatt of nuclear power to the New York state grid, partially to meet the electricity demands of the booming AI industry. And Oswego is vying to be chosen as a site for this new power plant.
To find out more about why Oswego is so eager for nuclear — and what would happen next if it’s chosen — Vox video producer Nate Krieger traveled there to meet with the mayor of Oswego and see the nuclear power plants up close.
There are a lot of benefits to adding more nuclear energy to the grid: The average US nuclear power station can provide enough electricity to support 1.4 million homes. Nuclear power operates 24/7 and doesn’t generate carbon emissions or traditional air pollution. Plus, these plants create hundreds of jobs.
But disasters like Three Mile Island, Chernoby...

Every December, we’re told to be merry and stay positive. But a lot of us don’t feel that way. And when we don’t, the pressure to be happy makes everything worse. Sadness feels like failure. Grief feels like a personal mistake. Depression becomes something to hide.
But what if dark moods aren’t problems to fix? What if they’re part of being human?
Today’s guest is philosopher Mariana Alessandri, author of Night Vision, a book about how to honor the emotions we usually try to outrun. It’s not a celebration of sadness, but Alessandri instead challenges the culture of toxic positivity and the idea that happiness is something we’re supposed to choose on command.
Sean and Mariana talk about why Americans are addicted to the light, why “cheering peo...

- It’s no secret that student loan debt and the cost of attending college are national problems. In the last 30 years, the average price of four-year public and private college tuition has nearly doubled. Along with it, federal student loan debt has skyrocketed to $1.8 trillion. You’ve probably heard a buzzworthy solution: make college tuition free.
While voices pitching “free college” programs tend to be the loudest on the progressive left, it’s actually a red state that was the first to enact a statewide Promise Program.

The world is filled with injustice and wrongdoing, and to live in the world — to not be consumed by anger — forgiveness is necessary. At least that’s what we’re told over and over again: By forgiving, we can set ourselves free.
But is there a cost to forgiveness? Are we forgiving too quickly and too often?
Today’s guest is philosopher Myisha Cherry, whose book Failures of Forgiveness critiques our cultural obsession with forgiving those who have done us wrong. She’s not against forgiveness — that would be weird — but she says we ought to be more intentional about why we do it, more aware that the expectation to practice forgiveness often lands on the most vulnerable people, and more concerned about what gets lost when we treat forgiveness as the only path to hea...

While some Trump administration hawks have wanted the US to force Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro out of office for years, the ostensible justification for the military buildup in the Caribbean — and the related ongoing campaign of strikes against alleged drug boats — is that the US is under siege from deadly narcotics pushed by Venezuelan “narcoterrorists.” Senior correspondent Joshua Keating breaks down what you need to know. #venezuela #narco #narcoterrorists #war
