I’m a history professor focusing on 20th-century Europe, with a particular interest in the comparative history of nationalism and of responses to Nazi aggression. My most recent book is Occupied: European and Asian Responses to Axis Conquest, 1937-1945 (Camb. Univ. Press, 2023).

Fun fact: half of the “experts” who wrote RFK Jr’s new food guidelines—which push people to eat more red meat, saturated fats, beef tallow, & full fat dairy—have financial ties to the livestock & dairy industries

Looks like RFK Jr & Makary CREATED a corrupt food pyramid

It’s crucial to target the most altruistic immigrants first, as they cause the worst damage to the regime’s xenophobia campaign.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

notice that in the video quoted here the person who said he is engaging in protest for the first time in his life says, with emotion, “that’s not who we are,” in reference to ICE terrorizing grade schoolers.

think about this person every time you see someone scolding someone else for saying that

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
WaPo article excerpt including the sentence: “Democrats demanded new accountability measures for field agents, including requirements that agents wear body cameras and don't wear masks, and that agents get judicial warrants before entering people's homes.”
