“The lesson I take is that we will all have to be historians now, to remember that things were not always this way and to see through the growing morass of lies our government is propagating in public. There is no choice but to enter the breach, and we have to do it together.”

On the Responsibility of Historians - Boston Review

The university is now center stage in not just antiwar protest, as in the 1960s, or the culture wars, as it was during the early 1990s, but in politics itself.

"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed."

Why Shame No Longer Works in American Politics

While it once played a role in binding society, shame has lost its power—and so have the liberal tools that depend on it.

I've been sitting with this piece of @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social for two days, reading it, re-reading it. You should too. #EzraKlein is the avatar of a new kind of liberal indulgence for the worst of the far-right, embracing bad-faith as a practice. www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...
