Just finished this book - such a compelling read. I was 18 and being Canadian I have vague recollections of the story…it saddens me as to the direction the US has drifted. Thank you for the work.
Next week: Detroit
Scan for tix here!

Sadly, yep
Thank you!!
The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon?
- Cancelled his July 4th US visit.
- Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore.
- Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war.
The first American pope.
He will NOT be bullied by Trump!
He literally said *yesterday* that he was considering a “joint venture” to help Iran charge people for using the Strait.
He said the day before that he didn’t care if they made a little money off of it.
Someone give pawpaw his dementia meds.
Join me in Detroit! Get tickets here for 4/23 at Michigan Central, or join me in Ann Arbor at Literati on 4/24! www.eventbrite.com/e/book-event...
The cover of Heather Ann Thompson’s book on Bernie Goetz
I’m reading @historianheather.bsky.social ‘s latest (on Bernie Goetz and RW rage) and I totally get Trump’s assertion that he could shoot someone on Fifth A and not lose a single vote; Trump knew who his voters were, and they were the type who supported Goetz.
RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕
Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us
Tonight at IPK: @historianheather.bsky.social discusses her new book Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage with Nicole R. Fleetwood.
Really appreciated @historianheather.bsky.social on @radioopensource.bsky.social this week.
Heather pinpoints Bernie Goetz getting away with murder as the point where white America gave up on equality in America in favor of right wing violence.
When all feels doomed, i am so deeply grateful for the reminder of those beautiful folks i know who are not just determined that the future can be just, but who are so extraordinarily inspirational that i am certain it will be.

Very VERY powerful.
And humbling. heartbreaking.
And also she's made it clear that those feelings have never gone away
wow! Rand Paul begins Markwayne Mullin's hearing by confronting him about comments he made describing Paul as a "freakin' snake" & "celebrating" Paul getting assaulted
"I wonder if someone who applauds political violence is right to lead an agency that has struggled to accept proper use of force"
Truly honored.
Truly honored 🙏🏻♥️
