what the left still doesn t get about winning the atlantic

Mamdani won by a modest margin in a deeply blue city not because of his radical commitments, but despite them. Zohran Mamdani is an extraordinary political story: a generational political talent, an out-of-nowhere success, and—measured by the number of citizens he will soon govern—the most powerful elected democratic socialist in American history. But his allies have tried to turn his victory into something different: a model for the national Democratic Party. “All across this country, people are sick and tired of seeing the billionaire class get richer and richer, and the billionaire class controlling to a significant degree both political parties. What Zohran Mamdani is showing is that a grassroots movement can take them on and defeat them,” Senator Bernie Sanders, a fellow democratic socialist, told The Nation just before this week’s election. “The take-aways may echo far beyond New York,” Time’s Philip Elliott concluded on Wednesday.

The problem with telling moms “It takes a village” The aftermath of Typhoon Kalmaegi in the Philippines, Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico, a penny-farthing race in Prague, a mayoral election in New York City, and much more The showman never stopped pleasing audiences—and confounding expectations. Instead of trying to depoliticize their field, a swell of scientists want to become politicians.

Trump has presented Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum with a near-impossible dilemma. As the Arctic melts and people spend more time there, defining our relationship to sea ice becomes more necessary. The Florida-based judge is likely to once again play a central role in politics in the new year. Race and gender aren’t the only categories that determine who gets special treatment. It is impossible to take her actions at face value given the context in which she is operating. Trump is saying, essentially, If you don’t want to get hurt, you’ll do what I say.

The way the president is disrupting essential services shows the dangers of his vision for big government. And did you know that New York was once not only New Amsterdam, but New Orange too? Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye perfectly portrays an intense, fickle, painful dynamic between women.

The Atlantic is an American magazine and multi-platform publisher based in Washington, D.C. It features articles on politics, foreign affairs, business and the economy, culture and the arts, technology, and science.

It was founded in 1857 in Boston as The Atlantic Monthly, a literary and cultural magazine that published leading writers' commentary on education, the abolition of slavery, and other major political issues of that... Its founders included Francis H. Underwood[3][4] and prominent writers Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and John Greenleaf Whittier.[5][6] James Russell Lowell was its first editor.[7] During the 19th and 20th centuries,... Bradley, who fashioned it into a general editorial magazine primarily aimed at serious national readers and "thought leaders"; in 2017, he sold a majority interest in the publication to Laurene Powell Jobs's Emerson Collective.[9][10][11] The magazine was published monthly until 2001, when 11 issues were produced; since 2003, it has published 10 per year. It dropped "Monthly" from the cover with the January/February 2004 issue, and officially changed the name in 2007.[12] In 2024, it announced that it will resume publishing monthly issues in 2025.[13][14] In 2016, the...

In 2024, it was reported that the magazine had crossed one million subscribers[13] and become profitable, three years after losing $20 million in a single year and laying off 17% of its staff. As of 2024, the website's executive editor is Adrienne LaFrance, the editor-in-chief is Jeffrey Goldberg, and the CEO is Nicholas Thompson. According to a 2025 Pew Research Center study on educational differences among audiences of 30 major U.S. news outlets, The Atlantic had the highest proportion of college-educated readers, with 62% of its audience holding at least a bachelor's degree.[16] In the autumn of 1857, Moses Dresser Phillips, a publisher from Boston, created The Atlantic Monthly.
