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.

I also found this Woolf interview powerful in the way that plain English and objective truth are the face of a propagandist firehose.
And e has some important observations about Pritzker, and Chicago vs. Portland's resistance to ICE. (You're up next, Charlotte).

Schrodinger's illegal alien: Stealing SNAP and Social Security benefits because they refuse to work, while at the same time buying all the houses and driving up costs so American citizens can afford houses.

With this betrayal by a handful of Senate Democrats tonight, on the heels of a great election night, I feel almost as deflated as I did after the joy of the Cubs finally winning he World Series, and then less than a week later the Orange Turd became president.
