I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.

I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.

That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.

What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.

Why are Harvard’s slavery researchers quitting or being fired? The school’s $100m project to examine its slave ownership in Antigua is mired in controversy as academics allege obstruction

"DeAngelis said while she was at Harvard, the president’s office told her not to discuss her research with students & that a course she was teaching called 'Slavery at Harvard' was changed in the course catalog to include abolition without her consent."

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

If you don’t know about this, you need to read up. It’s the single bloodiest massacre in the history of Reconstruction, and it was perpetrated to overthrow the results of an election. It was emblematic of the sabotage of Reconstruction. And SCOTUS nullified the prosecution of those responsible.

Man, we have the same conversations every time a major story like this breaks. It’s exhausting. It is SO HARD to publish a story about gendered violence for a whole host of reasons, a main one being that victims (rightly so!) don’t want to talk.
