Sycophants and conspiracy loons praising the ass-kissing of a Russian mafia dictator by a US president and his envoy. This is Trump's America, and they want you to be as proud of it as they are. And on the day of Russia's bloodiest civilian attack of the year in Ukraine.

I have to say that Russell Shorto's new book, "Taking Manhattan," is magnificent. I'll never think of NYC (or the Puritans, the Dutch, the Stuarts, or Peter Stuyvesant) the same way again. Shorto is such a great historian and storyteller.

Beneath New York's foundation lies a complex history—one shaped by colonialism and Indigenous dispossession. This dialogue contends that understanding these hidden layers is crucial to grappling with the present. Feat. Russell Shorto at Room for Discussion buff.ly/VTUUeXN
