OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?

Le Monde breaks it down amazingly well:
—Left candidates:
132 dropped out
5 did not drop out in districts with an RN threat
—Macronists:
81 dropped out
16 didn't in "threat" districts
—Conservatives didn't care:
3 dropped out
12 didn't

Kevin Roberts believes he’s a noble defender of “real America” against a totalitarian “woke,” “globalist” assault from without and within.
“Project 2025” is his declaration of war on multiracial pluralism.

Private equity is claiming the few specialties it hasn't already ruined, to fill space left by the systems they've bankrupted, and there's at least one data hostage situation affecting care somewhere in the US every week. Learn everything you can about low resource care or at least first aid.

workplaces come in a lot of flavors. And at the end of the day, the folks who are making the money, even when they start from a good-ish place, struggle to do the right thing by their employees. Profit is a hell of a drug.

so here's the thing. when my dad retired? he was doing workplace safety. A thing he was entirely well suited for, because when I was a kid he was a machinist. He's done a lot of jobs, and... it wasn't about following the rules for rules, but about using the rules for people.

Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.

I would never favor Trump as President. Didn’t the first time and don’t now. But I was also quite stunned by how quickly so many of the white people who Really Cared about our suffering just… stopped paying attention anymore after he left office. Fascists in many communities noticed & acted swiftly.

The biggest gift you can give yourself & your community is building local relationships. That can look lots of ways (yes, it is hard. Y'all, I live in Seattle, we're like individual ice cubes in the deep freezer). It is the important work. Because neighbors standing up for each other is how we win.

Maybe the most important thing to know is - things have already been moving for .. some time. And so, what you're doing is likely what you *will* be doing, unless you make some actively different choices right now.

I know, I'm an academic, reading a book isn't a magic solution (unless the question is dinner and the book is a cookbook). But I think truly understanding where we are, what situations have been analogous, and how we personally are going to navigate the next little while - that's important.

Barbara Walter wrote a compelling book called "How Civil Wars Start - and how to stop them"
It isn't short - here is an hour long podcast from this year. She makes the argument that civil war is much closer than most people think (hope).

There have been... more civil wars than one would like, and there is research and journalism - we have a pretty good idea how stuff goes, and ways one can fight - and signs for how far down the road we are.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

We've been fighting a lot of fights over many decades - sometimes we win in ways that help people, and sometimes we don't. But what these guys have been doing is building up the infrastructure to start a civil war, and absolutely part of that is building up white nationalists cells for violence.
