This one was personal: I had people in Patton’s Third Army and heard stories about the Battle of the Bulge and Bastogne as a kid, but it’s only with this series the pieces are falling into place.

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century.
People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

Trump tapped white nationalist Jeremy Carl for Assistant Secretary of State for International Orgs.
He called the Civil Rights Act an “anti-white weapon,” pushed the “great replacement,” called Juneteenth a “race hustle,” and compared J6 defendants to Black defendants in Jim Crow trials.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
