WASHINGTON â Alien. Origin: Latin. Definition: a foreigner.
When it first appeared in an English treatise, the term applied to anyone born outside the British Isles, including those in the Colonies that would become the United States. The first uses of the word were technical, but it took on a pejorative meaning in the early 1970s, when Mexican Americans became the racial targets of xenophobic politicians
and trade unions, right-wing groups, and federal immigration agencies.

âThe 82-year-old hands that used to pick someone elseâs cotton went to the polls and picked her youngest son to be a United States Senatorâ –
The Reverend Raphael Warnock, on his mother.
Last week, Democrats Jon Ossoff and The Reverend Raphael Warnock narrowly defeated Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler on Tuesday, January 5 to create a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate and a Democratic Trifecta on the federal level, meaning they will have control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Presidency, for the first time in a decade.
 When each Senator-elect is seated, the Senate will be deadlocked in a 50-50 tie, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in position to cast the deciding vote on key legislation for the next two years.Â
Last week’s convulsive events gave Joe Biden the keys to unified control of the government, and laid bare the depth of the division in a country the incoming president has insisted he can bring together.
On December 8,
Boston Review and Harvard Book Store co-hosted a conversation on the Green New Deal and other strategies for dealing with the existential threat posed by climate change. The participants including Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey knew we would have a new President on January 20. They did not know that we would also have a new Senate. Early in the conversation, Senator Markey declared that he was more optimistic than ever before. The other participants shared Markey’s optimism. With the Georgia results in, that optimism can only grow. So read what the participants have to say about how to address the threat of climate change, and get to work.
