The most insidious element of the new political order -- the so-called "alt-right" -- needs no introduction. Just deletion, and we can get on with resetting our discourse to higher grounds.

There was a time when the United States of America was intent on building bridges - literally - with our international partners, to unite and accelerate our collective economies and cultures. The International Gateway Bridge, an example of the divide-spanning region-building drive, spanned the Rio Grande between the cities of Brownsville, Texas and Matamaros, Mexico. Opening to tourism and trade at the height of the roaring twenties, it underscores the power and promise of the bold connections that made America great in the first place -- and the insecurities of a retreat behind our walls.
Sold Out
Another instant classic rallying cry that promises to outdistance the election cycle from which it was born - and continue in the defense of our fundamental -- and increasingly threatened -- civil rights. But take heart: love, as always, trumps hate.

The Arabic phrase - بارك الله امريكا - or "bark allah 'amrika" - translates literally to "God bless America," a song and sentiment unrestrained by notions of ethnicity, creed, or culture. Though in recency it has edged into a rallying cry of the right, if ever there was a time to reclaim its universal appeal to a power even higher than the governments of men, it is now.
Irving Berlin famously changed his original lyrics to "God Bless America" calling on God to guide America "to the right" to avoid any confusion with the political right -- asking instead for aid "through the night." And though that night may be upon us, the star and crescent embody the proverbial "light from above," as well as the union of Islam and traditional American patriotism, beyond any parochial notion of either, and a call to solidarity: as Americans, we can and must do better.
