I’m a modern US diplomatic and cultural historian, and currently writing a book on emo bands and fans protesting the Iraq War. Prepare to see photos of my dogs and cross-stitch projects.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

if polling is so tilted against DHS/ICE that Laura fucking Ingraham is calling the post-9/11 creation of DHS unnecessary bureaucratic overreach on Fox News, the Democrats shouldn’t be aiming for moderate reforms as a negotiated compromise position - they should be pressing this advantage.
