Here I reflect on how Baldwin's writing unsettled my fixed idea of linear European time, which traps us into repeating history's evil patterns. 'Instead of speaking about the civil rights movement, let us pretend that I am a survivor of the latest slave rebellion.'

Last week's elections showed the power of women voters, who delivered decisive wins for Democrats across the nation. Now, there's a surge in calls to repeal women's right to vote. Could this radical Christian nationalist agenda splinter the MAGA movement or pull them further toward extremism?
