This week, Brooke decided to go deep on a topic she skipped in the newsletter. Baltimore. And specifically, the reaction online to Baltimore’s mayor. Specifically on X, let’s be honest. She also tells us about her experience walking across the border from Juarez to El Paso, which was not at all like it's been shown to us on the news. Then, of course, she gets to Beyoncé and the cultural chokehold Cowboy Carter had on the nation. Finally, Brooke looks at the wildly viral recent stories from New York Magazine. Happy Thursday!
