A flip of blonde hair. A flash of bright blue eyes. With this grounding imagery, the camera pans slowly across her body, and then an abrupt order—“Hey! Eyes up here!” The camera sharply jerks up to encounter actress Sydney Sweeney. She smiles a...
President Donald Trump came to power with “Make America Great Again” as his central slogan. It is a rhetorical move that is premised on a past of greatness. America’s past, however, was not great for many groups. For Indigenous people and Black...
