The cliché says we study history to avoid repeating history. The reality is that those most invested in suppressing the history of past evils are also the most actively invested in perpetuating and repeating those very evils.

This is another reminder about my new book. I hope you'll take a peek. It is playful, and I'm told it's a lot of fun. We need fun these days. I am very proud of it and excited for its publication (thanks to Geoffrey Gatza at BlazeVOX -- thanks, Geoffrey!): www.blazevox.org/shop-1/p/the...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

I honestly never would have guessed that after a mob tried to overthrow the government; and then the ringleader was somehow allowed to run again, and then he won, and he started tearing the whole thing down, there'd be basically no resistance from the opposition besides fundraising emails

I knew about the horrible shit victims go through, but Turnage should be pilloried, and by that I mean stuck in a public square to be abused and beaten at the whim of the public. Same goes for all cops like her. Cops are garbage people, by and large.
