Suppression of dissent hopefully moves the protests into consumer spaces, that would be cool

I'm sorry, motherfuckers, is your argument that the structure of the Constitution in 1792 should be used to interpret the meaning of the 1868 14th amendment?

That Joseph Story's commentary on the laws of the United States in 1833, which I notice you don't actually cite, is somehow meaningful?

Charlie Jane always goes on the most interesting side quests 👀
Historians have long believed that native Hawaiians greeted Captain James Cook as a god... until a spicy debate broke out 30 years ago.

In my newsletter, I look into why neither side of this infamous debate included any Hawaiian perspectives. And why it matters.

I must not fear
Fear is the mind-killer
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing
Only I will remain
