Today, we take for granted the ability to send photos halfway around
the world in an instant. (Which is probably why that popular
smartphone photograph service is called Instant-Gram™.) But a

Last month, near the smouldering wreckage of a house in Aitou, a

armfuls of cash in an effort to demonstrate that, despite the war, the

2016 and 2024 - The New Yorker [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=90833&nl=daily]
Eight years ago on Election Night, as the returns came in from North
Carolina, where I was reporting, I made a panicked phone call to a
friend. I told him that I feared the country was sliding into the
hands of a demi-fascist, and that it might even be time to start
considering an exit plan. My life, like those of many Black people of
my generation, was shaped not by the brutality of segregation, as my
parents lives had been, but by the success of the battles of the
nineteen-fifties and sixties to uproot it. The prospect that a
Presidential candidate could be embraced not only by white
supremacists but also by one of the two major political parties and
almost half the electorate triggered an enduring dread that the
progress we had made was fragile and impermanentand that, with the
right incentives, the old order could resurrect itself in the present.
