Nice. I first read about it in "Hitler's American Model," press.princeton.edu/books/hardco... but I am adding the others to my (much too long) to read list. ;)

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Yikes. Giving me flashbacks to driving through middle of nowhere Kansas to get to grad school. I guess when you just have huge swaths of grazing land you spontaneously develop the desire to create a billboard yelling at you about either abortion or right wing political candidates

If recent years should have taught folks anything, it's that you should inform yourself about a thing thoroughly before you assume that people raising the alarm about it are fear-mongering or overreacting.

For a lot of reasons, survivors of assault choose not to speak up about their experiences, and the voices and perspectives of survivors are so rarely centered. I'm working my way though "Not That Bad," 29 essays on the same topic, all from different authors.

Since sexual assault is in the news again (forever) I want to recommend a great memoir by Chanel Miller, "Know My Name," chanel-miller.com. It feels strange to call a book that spends a lot of its time discussing the impact of sexual assault "beautiful" but it is beautifully written.

This is fairly typical for our chatter, which I like to keep up because every once in awhile he'll say something bonkers in a completely even tone, like "J. Edgar Hoover was a clerk at LoC."

Like, yeah, I think it’s gross and creepy for an older man to start a relationship with his nanny. I also know it’s actively harmful for survivors to dictate what their experience was rather than allowing them to name it.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

In yet another piece of evidence that librarians can't be trusted, J. Edgar Hoover was a clerk at the Library of Congress 😄

Happy 4th, #AboloshICE and also blow up DHS. Before this we had the INS and it wasn't great but it was far less prone to funnel immigrants into a private prison system, among other things.

There were so many better reasons to find Quayle unacceptable other than a nonstandard spelling. Also I keep thinking of Dukakis riding around in that tank looking like a weenie as the thing that mostly *tanked* his presidency 🪖

When I worked in Minnesota in the legislature, there were bills every year to legalize fireworks. And there would be hearings. And people would be like, “Pfft, who testifies against this? Busybody neighbors?” The actual answer was firefighters and doctors, mostly. Especially eye doctors.

Basically, most of us would rather prepare for a shitty situation we understand (or think we do) than fight for a potentially better but uncertain future. Worth remembering.

The study this article cites is that the people tested in a particular study would rather be given an unpleasant but not life threatening electric shock at certain intervals than potential shocks at uncertain intervals.
