Pessimists may see Trump’s victory as a hinge moment in history. Positive-minded people may feel that the work needing to be done is remedial and incremental. At the site where the Civil War began, @adamgopnik reflects on how we can rebuild a common life. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/TV…

The difference: The upsetting things said by Trump and Vance are not true. The upsetting things said about Trump and Vance are true. Trump really did mount a violent coup against the Constitution. He and his relatives really did take bribes in office, including from foreign governments. He really was helped into power by Russian espionage agencies. He really did steal secret documents from the US government after his election defeat. And Vance really did, and by his own admission, intentionally "create stories" for political advantage that put residents of his state at risk of physical harm.

Will you join me in giving a voice to #ArezooBadri, paralyzed after being shot by Iran’s morality police for not covering her hair? Arezoo needs us now. Make a video or write a statement asking, #WhereIsArezoo and why the government is silencing her family. Her sister is under pressure to do forced confessions. An international investigation is urgently needed. Together, we are a stronger 💔

Willie Mays, who died this week at the age of 93, embodied a fleeting form of prophecy—and this made him famous in ways that transcended baseball, @adamgopnik writes. nyer.cm/VNn5nqu

In France, as in the U.S., the real divide is cultural: country against city, old against young, people with diplomas against people without them, Adam Gopnik writes. nyer.cm/bicCrTl

Come per i libri e i film, anche gli incontri più belli sono quelli capaci di farti commuovere e divertire allo stesso tempo. Così è stato questa sera al MAXXI il viaggio tra letteratura e cinema de @LeConversazioni con protagonista @adamgopnik insieme a @FChiamu e Antonio Monda.

BREAKING: President Biden just slammed individuals suggesting our court system is rigged or political. President Biden is the only candidate running for President who is defending our Constitution. Retweet so all Americans see this powerful moment.

The beauty of @adamgopnik’s ALL THAT HAPPINESS IS “is that it just might be enough to inspire the most timid among us to pick up a paintbrush or a guitar purely for the fun of it." @LiverightPub @wwnorton Check out our review! bookreporter.com/reviews/all…
