They have forgotten — again — that this great nation will endure and will prosper only if we all prosper together.

Or — worse — Mr. Trump’s vow to end “political correctness” and make this, at least rhetorically, the same white man’s America it was in Jackson’s time?

I don’t buy it. Hillary Clinton’s campaign wasn’t that bad, and Mr. Trump was exposed enough for any thinking adult to see exactly what he is.

a man who says he has never asked God for forgiveness, who refers to the Eucharist with characteristic humility (“I drink my little wine, which is about the only wine I drink, and have my little cracker"), who mocks our military heroes, who lumbers about a stage proclaiming, “I alone can fix it!,” who dismissed a working man after the election with a tweet that read in part, “Spend more time working — less talking”

I mean a greater, almost spiritual faith that I had in my fellow citizens and their better instincts,

It’s inescapable, considering what we are: the first republic of the modern age, a nation of immigrants, haven to so many peoples from around the world. We have, like no other country, for better and for ill, dominated the modern world through both our hard power and our soft, our weapons but also our ideas.

“let America be America again/The land that never yet has been, and yet must be”

NO, I’m not over it.

“There is a real problem with the elite privates and flagship publics in not serving as many low-income students as they should,

On several dozen of campuses, remarkably, fewer students hail from the entire bottom half of the income distribution than from the top 1 percent.

Lower-income students who attend elite colleges fare even better on average than low-income students elsewhere

Pavia’s story is the classic story of the American dream.

But the success stories are real, too, and they’re fairly common.

Improving higher education should be a national priority.

Dropout rates are high, saddling students with debt but no degree.

These students entered college poor. They left on their way to the middle class and often the upper middle class.

The most comprehensive study of college graduates yet conducted, based on millions of anonymous tax filings and financial-aid records.

"I accept this award on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere," he joked later.

Jimmy Fallon, who has been dinged in the past for being too soft on the future president, took a few swipes at Trump

Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas appeared to come to Streep's defense early on Monday, tweeting: "Entertainment figures have the right to use their fame to express political opinions; we have the right not to patronize them."

It was real life

he was "not surprised" he'd been the subject of anger and butt of jokes by "liberal movie people."

Our writing is more relaxed than it used to be — that’s intentional. I actually think some newspaper writing of a generation ago was too stilted, was too hard to follow, too hard to understand

I sat down with the executive editor, Dean Baquet

“It’s scary to say it, but maybe companies will have to be the standard-bearers for morals right now,”

it’s about using corporations as shields to protect vulnerable people from bullying and hate crimes.

I expected that other companies would want to trumpet their own Breitbart departures. It seemed an easy win for corporate P.R. to distance itself from Klan-rally-like riffs like this one — “every tree, every rooftop, every picket fence, every telegraph pole in the South should be festooned with the Confederate battle flag.” (Telegraph poles!?)

Programmatic ads can also follow individuals around the internet, based on their browsing history, as happened with Mr. Philips. A single targeted ad could cost just a fraction of a penny, but the pennies add up to a billion-dollar industry.

“We are trying to stop racist websites by stopping their ad dollars,”

Within hours, they received their first response, and they realized that they had stumbled across a potentially powerful tactic.

Mr. President-elect, are you listening?

In the short and medium term, we must step up assistance to climate refugees and sufferers, both to provide relief and to assist with new livelihoods that adjust to new climate realities

She broke off cactus pads, scraped off the thorns and boiled them briefly, and the boys ate them — even though they provide little nutrition. “My heart is breaking because I have nothing to give them,” Fideline said. “I have no choice.”

The World Food Program

Those of us in the rich world who have emitted most of the carbon bear a special responsibility to help people like these Madagascar villagers who are simultaneously least responsible for climate change and most vulnerable to it.

the United Nations says.

Trump has repeatedly mocked climate change, once even calling it a hoax fabricated by China.

overseas governments that don’t want to curb carbon emissions.

For the next half century or so, we will see students learning less in school and economies held back, because in 2017 we allowed more than a million kids to be malnourished just here in southern Africa, collateral damage from our carbon-intensive way of life.

Now they understand there is a far broader toll: When children in utero and in the first few years of life are malnourished, their brains don’t develop properly. As a result, they may suffer permanently impaired brain function

Sonjona realizes that it is wrong to marry off a 10-year-old, but he also knows it is wrong to see his daughter starve.

Not one of the children in the village has ever had a bath.

In America, climate change costs families beach homes; in poor countries, parents lose their children.

The immediate cause of the droughts

a related drought has devastated East Africa and the Horn of Africa and is expected to continue this year. The U.N. World Food Program has urgently appealed for assistance, but only half the money needed has been donated.

“I feel so powerless as a mother, because I know how much I love my child,” she said. “But whatever I do just doesn’t work.”

Trump should come and feel these children’s ribs and watch them struggle for life.
