2026 is off to an intense start, but many of the events we’re seeing play out today come out of dynamics that have been building for years. Jelani Cobb, a journalist, historian, and the Dean of Columbia’s journalism school, talks to us about his new book, Three of More is a Riot (Notes on How We Got Here: 2012-2025), which analyzes some of the major events of the United States’ past decade and a half, and how they’ve set the groundwork for much of what’s happening now.
