A Startlingly Vivid Portrait of El Paso, and of America

An extraordinary review today.

It recognizes what fronterizos have long known: El Paso isn’t peripheral to the American story. It is the story — of migration, identity, memory, survival.

Deeply honored, grateful, and proud to see the border centered, not sidelined. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/b...

Two Books on El Paso Two new books explore the past and present of the Texan border town of El Paso.

A short write-up of "El Paso" in Foreign Affairs calls it a “beautifully woven history”: “A journalist with deep roots in El Paso, Ulloa weaves together the history of the southwest U.S.-Mexican border with the stories of five families, including her own." www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/two-...

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Elon Musk has said it loud and clear: He wants to gut Social Security. In December 2024 alone:

👉 51.8M retired workers relied on benefits
👉 7.2M disabled workers depended on support
👉 5.8M survivors—widows, children, & parents—counted on it after loss

Social Security is a lifeline, not a luxury.

Marine Le Pen timidly distances herself from Donald Trump After several weeks of silence, or even enthusiasm, regarding the actions of the new US president, Le Pen condemned the 'brutality' of the freezing of US aid to Ukraine.

Europe Gets Serious About Defense Thanks to Trump’s Retreat The U.S. president has unified Europe like few since Charlemagne. Now comes the hard part.

The Trump administration’s sharp turn away from Kyiv and toward Moscow might have just sent European leaders into a frenzy of rearmament.
