Instagram - it's fun, but Facebook, no, just here and there. I use Instagram as a kick, like when somebody tells me to check out so-and-so's Instagram account to check out their French toast or a trip to Tanzania. But I don't have an account.

Capitalism in Russia has spawned far more Al Capones than Henry Fords.
David Remnick
Clearly independent journalists - domestic journalists - run a high risk if they dare to take on serious investigative work.
David Remnick
There is no single field of activity, not a single institution, free of the most brutal sort of corruption. Russia has bred a world-class mafia.

The minority vote is growing, which is part of the alarm of so many Republicans and why Trump constantly whipped up their alarm with his racist statements.

Disaster can take a nation by surprise, slowly, and then all at once.

What about our refusal to look squarely at the degradation of the planet we inhabit? In the last election cycle many candidates refused even to acknowledge the hard science, irrefutable science, of climate change. The president, while readily accepting the facts, has done far too little to alter them. How long are we, are you, prepared to wait?

A huge constituency, such as Hispanics, is not 100 percent Democratic.

Being nervous, first of all, puts you at a distinct disadvantage, and if you've really prepared and if you've really thought through how to start the conversation, things start to fall into place. There are other things I get nervous about, but not that.

David Remnick
I actually have great hopes for the future.

From a personal point of view, I'd like to interview my great-grandparents because I barely knew them, and I know next to nothing about my family beyond 100 years.

There are two forms of populism, left-wing populism and right-wing populism. Right-wing populism requires the denigration of an Other. Left-wing populism tends to be about the haves and have-nots.
David Remnick
Trump's election is part of an international trend that's no less alarming, in Britain, in France, in Germany, in Austria. Vladimir Putin wanted to see this outcome no less than he would like to see nationalists and anti-Europeanists win in France.
David Remnick
I don't think there will be fascism in America, but we have to do everything we can to fight against it.
David Remnick
What I object to is tricking the reader and blurring the lines so that unsuspecting readers, thinking that they are getting something that is assigned and edited by the editorial side, are getting something quite different. They are getting an advertisement.

The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes.

Donald Trump lies with astonishing frequency and in stunning volume.
David Remnick
Donald Trump appoints people of low quality, to say the least.
