“I thought I was to blame,” Corletto added. “I was brainwashed to think that my deliverance was wrapped up in him.”

Believe it or not, independent journalists can get our own frontline sources.
It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

Guess I have to do a class on the Monroe Doctrine now
I am unusually excited to teach the first half of the US history survey in the spring. I haven't taught it in a long time and it feels timely and urgent. Weird, huh?

Heard NPR’s correspondent, who is not in Venezuela, explain that people in Venezuela woke up to this news. Yet everyone I’ve heard from was up all night.
Intense observation on what the U.S. state is and isn’t doing requires critical attention to what the U.S. press is and isn’t doing, too.

Creepers actually come on here to defend Bill Clinton, yammering about how we don’t have all the facts to condemn him of abuse. Um, I spent all of 1998 listening to the press luridly describe how he sexually harassed a 22 y.o. when he was 49…and the mofo admitted to it.

One of the biggest epiphanies I ever had that made the world make more sense is that people who abuse their power aren’t happier for it.
They’re trading their happiness for that power. That’s part of why they cling to it the way they do—and it’s also why they can see themselves as victims.
