While walking through Times Square, I passed this group of K-pop dancers moving confidently beneath a giant wall of illuminated stars and stripes. The contrast struck me — a symbol of the USA glowing behind a group shaped by Korean pop culture.
This moment felt like a celebration of what makes the U.S. unique: a place where influences from around the world collide, remix, and create something new.
It’s this multicultural energy that always drew me in — open, evolving, real.
Now in 2025 I worry that this openness, this beautiful cultural blend, is under pressure. That what once made this place vibrant is being challenged — by fear, by division, by politics, by facists …
I still believe in the potential of diversity — not just as a buzzword, but as a way of living and growing together. And I hope that images like this one continue to be possible in the future, not in spite of difference, but because of it.

The Eurovision Grand Final will hit screens Saturday. The long-adored Song Contest is known for its fun and often ridiculous performances but is often marked by protests, boycotts and controversy. This year's event in the Swiss city of Basel has been no exception.

"Trump bedrijft de meest openlijke, veelzijdige en schaamteloze corruptie uit de moderne geschiedenis", zegt Matthew Dallek. Hij is politiek historicus aan de George Washington-universiteit in de Amerikaanse hoofdstad. "Er is geen equivalent in de presidentiële geschiedenis." Dallek is allerminst de enige die zich grote zorgen maakt over belangenverstrengeling in het Witte Huis."

> Salvo braves a ravaged Buenos Aires to reach Elena and Clara's apartment, discovering that human survival instincts can be as deadly as the toxic snow.
The image depicts a snowy scene with a blue and white train on a railway track. The train has the text "Trenes Argentinos" on its side, indicating it is an Argentine train. The train is stationary, and snow is visibly falling, covering the ground and the train's surface. A person wearing a brown coat, a green helmet, and carrying a backpack is standing on the left side of the image, facing the train. The person appears to be observing the train. The snowflakes are large and numerous, creating a wintry atmosphere. The train's windows are frosted, and the overall color palette is dominated by cool tones, with the blue of the train contrasting against the white snow. The ground is covered in a layer of snow, and the tracks are visible beneath the snow. The scene conveys a sense of cold and isolation, with the person and the train as the main subjects.
