Van Hollen: When I told him that his wife and family sent their love and were fighting for him to return home every day, he said that he was worried about all of you. He spoke several times about your 5-year-old son who has autism.

The episode of The Good Wife where Diane and Will discover that Alicia and Cary are starting their own firm and taking Lockhart/Gardner clients with them is one of the best hours of television to exist. Season 5 in general is a masterpiece.

I tell my undergrads that my 20th c lecture course revolves around two big questions — what is America and who counts as American?

You cannot make me read about these pro natalist goobers. I have a quota on how much I can know about vacuous people, it’s why I can’t with anything kardashian related or adjacent.

In any other western style democracy, views like this would put someone squarely in the most radical far right collection of parties. In the US, this is mainstream, and it’s because we didn’t appropriately punish confederates and segregationists. It all grows from the poisonous tree.
