As the great Suketu Mehta wrote in the accompanying essay, "By 1643, only nineteen years after the first Walloon settlers founded New Amsterdam, 18 languages were already being
spoken in the city—among a population of a mere 500." To hell with fictions of a homogenous past, linguistic & otherwise.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

So Trump’s Mar-a-Lago actively sent employees to a known predator.
"Mar-a-Lago spa’s practice of dispatching workers to Epstein’s home has not been previously reported ... The Mar-a-Lago bosses told the message therapist Epstein preferred spa services in the privacy of his own home, and warned the employee Epstein sometimes exposed himself during massages."
Exclusive | The Incident That Prompted Trump to Ban Epstein From Mar-a-Lago’s Spa
Mar-a-Lago sent an 18-year-old spa worker on a house call to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. She complained to her bosses that Epstein pressured her for sex.

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

So the “closed” daycares…were closed during the last week of the year, during which most daycares are closed. And the doors were “locked,” which they are at every daycare. And they wouldn’t let in a “journalist” with a camera…which they wouldn’t do at any daycare. Got it.

Illinois and Chicago have reduced crime with smart investments in police and community violence reduction programs. Meanwhile Trump cut federal support for both.
No matter how many lies he tells, we will keep standing up for truth and against his abuse of power.

At the start of 2025, we knew this movement would play a pivotal role in the fight against authoritarianism.
Still, we’re blown away by the level of commitment and dedication you have shown throughout a difficult year.
