Unlike many Southern cities, Charlotte, North Carolina embraced federally mandated public school integration in the 20th century, but Charlotte, like America, has reverted.

Banished from the White House, Bannon spends his time building a conservative alliance behind a vague, protectionist platform he calls economic nationalism, which would seal US borders, treat China as an enemy and, he believes, keep the Republicans in power for decades. But can he sell this all to the working class?

We don’t know where the world is headed, but we know where part of its problems began: in the bedroom on the second floor of a Tudor in Queens where Donald Trump was probably conceived. Now an Airbnb, one Newsweek reporter spends the night there to help understand… well, everything.

“The president has no prior experience in politics or national security. Combine that with the widespread respect all three generals bring with them, not to mention their reputations for seriousness and intelligence, and it means they possess something that Donald Trump the dealmaker understands well: leverage—leverage over him.”

Legends say that a 16th century Spanish galleon traveled into what’s now California’s arid interior and got stranded, leaving its hull and cargo buried in the desert for modern treasure-hunters to find.

Many Californians reject Trump’s values, policy and thinking about climate change, immigration and equality, and they are sending a clear message: they will resist. With the sixth largest economy in the world that contributes billions to the federal budget and huge amounts of America’s domestic food supply, California wields a lot of power and offers a vision of America’s future. But can it influence federal decisions?

While Donald Trump insists that Hillary Clinton should be imprisoned for destroying emails, he has routinely used stall tactics in order to erase records that courts have demanded he hand over.

When UC Berkeley, once a hotbed of political activism and progressive thinking, tried to stop an undergraduate peace and conflict studies major from teaching a class on Palestinian history, it fueled a hot-button debate about Anti-Semitism, academic freedom and the ways universities can foster inclusive intellectual discourse.

Before the Holocaust’s last architects can die naturally of old age, one Jewish man continues to track them down in order to bring them to justice for their crimes. Now his 40-year crusade has led him to Lithuania, a country which murdered over 90 percent of its Jewish citizens. Needless to say, he isn’t popular there.
