His mother was addicted to drugs; he never knew his father. He grew up shuttling among foster homes, where he started drinking beer around age 5 and smoking marijuana at age 9. At age 17 he watched a drunk friend kick a dog off a cliff and knew he had to escape. Henderson found that these ideas came to serve as status symbols for the privileged while they, ironically, kept the working class down. He came to call these ideas luxury beliefs.

If you live in one of America’s cities, you probably see homeless people all the time. That’s what Mark Horvath discovered firsthand in 1995, when he lost his job and wound up homeless for eight years. On April 22, the Supreme Court is set to hear the case of Johnson v. Grants Pass, the most significant case in decades about homeless people’s rights. The case will determine whether cities can arrest or fine the homeless — even if there’s no other shelter. As the homeless plaintiffs wrote, this would be “punishing the city’s involuntarily homeless residents for their existence.”

As America closes in on a major election, mistrust is brewing around the mysterious government entity that’s now denounced in scary-sounding terms — “the deep state” and “the swamp.” What do those words even mean? As we met the Americans who are being dismissed as public enemies, we discovered that they are … us. Sure, our tax dollars pay them, but as you’ll see in the video above, what a return on our investment we get! When we hear “deep state,” instead of recoiling, we should rally. Even though their work is often invisible, it makes our lives better.

This is no ordinary “Shut up and play.” What they really seem to be saying is: Just shut up. In that way, the experience of the U.S. women’s team reflects the confounding experience of so many women trying to make a case for their callings and careers around the world. That was the setting chosen by FIFA, world soccer’s governing body, for the first Women’s World Cup. Instead, it got the consolation prize of women’s soccer, a sport nothing like the glory of soccer played by men. The male organizers of the tournament seriously considered having the women play with a smaller ball — a size used by children.
