My reading assistant enjoying @ronajohnson.bsky.social’s new book Entangled Alliances. He was struck by how intertwined events in Saint Domingue were with the American Revolution and vice versa.

A friend reminded me this weekend that it’s been 10 years now since Christian Imperialism came out in August 2015. It’s been quite the decade! Happy birthday, book.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

It would be helpful now if more Americans knew more about our history, and were ready for its myths to be punctured. Seems like the myths continue to do their work.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.
