Lost City of Z!!!
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov more police don’t make us safe. Why are Illinois State Police allowed to brutalize peaceful protestors?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov more police do not keep us safe. I’m relieved that they’ve been called back to the bounds of proper behavior.
last night, state and county police hung back and didn’t engage.

and then the protest ended and people went home.
