Mr. Rogers once explained to children that in times of distress, watch for the ones going towards the danger. They are the First Responders: doctors, police, fire fighters. They are heroes. Look to them for guidance in times of trouble. RFKjr is NOT a hero. He ran away.

If this was a Confederate statue, there are so-called Americans who would be outraged.
Looks like the "removal of statues etc is erasing history" folks are actually into doing those removals if the history being erased is the history of black people
Here are the two plaques that were removed. I am so ashamed of our racist current administration.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I have also been locked in because of Outlander. In my case, by Alison insisting I watch it to translate the Gaelic properly.
The impact of filming Outlander is to be examined after 'repeated issues' affecting residents in historic villages across Scotland
Outlander filming sees village residents 'unable to leave their homes'

It has been fun seeing the reaction of the US right to Democrat victories this week, esp to Mamdani in NYC; an apoplexy over policies quite common in well-functioning, happy, productive countries around the world. US "exceptionalism" too often involves a studied ignorance of what works elsewhere.

I'd encourage writers and academics who've had a book published in the US to check to see if their work is included in the Anthropic settlement; I was surprised to find that my 2007 monograph on David Jones was in the searchable list. Here's the link:
