Trump Has Won. Now What?
The Nation will continue to repeat and suggest, nurture investigative reporting, and stand together as a neighborhood to withhold hope and possibility alive.
Final evening, we gathered at The Nation—journalists, editors, chums, and allies—as election outcomes rolled in.

The day is darkish, the forces arrayed are tenacious, but as the gradual Nation editorial board member Toni Morrison wrote, “No! Here’s precisely the time when artists high-tail to work. There might be rarely any time for despair, no location for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for trouble. We say, we write, we attain language. That is how civilizations heal.”
