9 h. ago Ice is about to become the biggest police force in the US | Judith Levine

Trump’s budget bill is creating a colossus with more resources than many national militariesOn Thursday, congressional Republicans passed Trump’s 1,000-page budget, and the president signed it on Saturday. The rich will get obscenely richer. The poor will be hungrier and sicker, work more precarious, and the planet unrelentingly hotter. The symmetry is elegant: cuts to healthcare and food programs average about $120bn each year over the next decade, while the tax cuts will save households earning more than $500,000 about $120bn a year.Trump got what he wanted. But enriching himself and his wealthy friends at the expense of everyone else has long been his life purpose. It was not until he became president, with the Heritage Foundation’s wonks, the deportation czar Stephen Miller, and six loyal supreme courtiers behind him, that he could reshape the US in his own amoral, racist, violence-intoxicated image. In fact, the latter goal may be dearer to him than the former. Continue reading...

12 h. ago Noughts & Crosses review – Malorie Blackman’s thought experiment confronts the audience anew

Regent’s Park Open Air theatre, LondonCallum and Sephy are a modern Romeo and Juliet, forced to grow up fast as they wade through the crushing racial and class structures that pin them in their opposing places‘Do you ever wonder what it would be like if our positions were reversed?” Callum asks his prison guard. “If we whites were in charge instead of you Crosses?” Malorie Blackman’s seminal 2001 novel flipped racism on its head. Bringing the story for young adults to life on stage, Tinuke Craig’s zippy, large-scale production confronts the audience anew.This modern Romeo and Juliet remains one of the most striking tales written for teenagers. The production is well suited for schools, giving young people the language and imagery to talk about racism here and now. But adapted by Dominic Cooke in 2007 for the RSC, the choppy script favours faithfulness to the book over inventiveness in exploring its new form. Continue reading...
