If last year’s exciting videos of flakka users running naked through traffic, kicking police department doors, or trying and miserably failing to climb fences made you think to yourself, You know, I’d like to try that—too bad. Flakka is over. We beat Flakka.

In March, thousands of voters in Arizona reported waiting in hours-long lines to cast their vote in the state’s Democratic primary. Over 100,000 people have signed a petition demanding a revote in the state and now, the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice has officially opened an investigation to uncover what exactly happened during last month’s primary.

When you think of protests in the United States, you probably imagine militarized cops in SWAT gear, pepper spray, shootings, and billy club beatdowns. In Iceland, they’re hurling yogurt.

As international conflict reaches dizzying levels of violence and complexity, countries around the world are spending an unprecedented amount on their militaries.

Nothing is more antithetical to the aesthetic of a French new wave film than a packet of cigarettes labeled with grotesque images of rotting body parts. Except, perhaps, a pack of cigarettes with no branding on it at all.

[This post has been corrected.] This week, California and New York passed landmark bills that would increase the states’ minimum wages to $15 an hour. Hillary Clinton joined New York governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday to celebrate the win—despite advocating for only a $12 minimum wage at the national level since at least October.

“A man who nearly drove his sports utility vehicle over a cliff in the posh beach front community of Malibu managed to escape his dangling car unharmed, only to be hit by a passing bus as he stumbled away from the wreckage, police said.”

It’s well known that police officers who commit violent crimes while on the job are rarely convicted, charged, or even disciplined by their own department. Sometimes one will get a slap on the wrist for a less serious infringement.

Ted Cruz isn’t one to shy away from cheesing up the campaign trail, but today the presidential hopeful failed to deliver.

On Monday, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected a challenge to the “one person, one vote” rule that requires states to count all residents, regardless of their eligibility to vote, when determining election districts.

Being black in most places in the world is, by and large, a disadvantage. In America, for example, police are more likely to arrest you if you are black, jobs are less likely to call you back if your name sounds black, and just about all of your cultural capital is sure to find its way, more profitably, in the hands of a white person.

Generations of first-year psych students know ‘Winston Moseley’ as the man whose savage murder and rape of Kitty Genovese in 1964 was witnessed by dozens of neighbors rendered powerless by a phenomenon called “bystander effect.” That tale, as neat and compact as it is, is incomplete.

Everyone hates being burned online, even convicted murderers. So when someone who appears to be former Manson Family member Tex Watson decided that his Wikipedia page wasn’t giving him a fair shake, he did what any currently incarcerated felon would do: Print out the page, physically mark every point of contention, and mail it in to Wikipedia.

Russian president Vladimir Putin’s official mouthpiece has some things to say about the Panama Papers. According to Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, the massive report, coordinated by 400 journalists from 100 media organizations in 80 countries is, firstly, a personal attack on Putin.

It’s barely been 24 hours since the first Panama Papers reports hit, and things are already getting fun. Assuming you’re not Prime Minister of Iceland Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, that is. Because judging by the way Gunnlaugsson stormed out of an interview with a Swedish news station, he’s got a few, uh... calls to make.

On Friday of last week, for about 40 minutes, as she rode home to Astoria from her tap-dancing lesson, I spoke to Sean Young, the actor who rose to fame in 1982's Blade Runner and then subsequently “saw my career go up in flames” in a series of professional setbacks (among them: she lost the role of Vicki Vale in 1989's Batman when she fell off a horse, and was fired from 1990's Dick Tracy).

A new ACLU report shines a light on the bizarre and troubling netherworld of South Carolina’s “summary courts,” which “refuse to provide counsel to the poor at all stages of the criminal process, and force defendants who can’t afford to pay fines to instead serve time in jail.”

In a move sure to rustle feathers on old Nassau Street and be the talk of this year’s Reunions, the Wall Street Journal this morning scooped the Princeton Alumni Weekly, reporting that Ivy Club member Andrew Casperson ‘99 and fellow Tiger James McIntryre are rousing rabble like it’s House Parties ‘97: Casperson has allegedly defrauded an unnamed victim, rumored to be his old pal, McIntryre. From the Wall Street Journal:

The NYPD uses operations including undercover officers to arrest the most minor players in New York City’s drug trade, the New York Times reports today. In several of these stings, the targets of these stings were not drug dealers, but their impoverished, addicted customers.

On top of reporting Donald Trump’s apparent knowledge of Fox News’ dirty secrets, Gabriel Sherman’s excellent piece on the Trump campaign contains another bit of media intrigue: The role of Trump’s son-in-law*, New York Observer owner Jared Kushner, in the candidate’s attempts to connect with the American Jewish community. According to Sherman, The Observer’s sitting editor-in-chief, a former Rudy Giuliani speechwriter named Ken Kurson, helped Kushner write the speech Trump delivered last month at the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee’s annual conference:
