A useful thing to know about me is whether you're paying big money for a uni course I'm teaching or $55 dollars on a year long exploration of 18th century literature with me, I put in the same amount of effort and research because my off-switch is missing. So, a bit of a steal really!
First up, I have a whole year course! 1 book a month. We're reading our way through the long-eighteenth century, concentrating entirely on women's writing.
The course is through the Regency academe and costs only $55 for non-members! For a whole year!

Following very closely the situation in Venezuela.
We stand by the people of Venezuela and support a peaceful and democratic transition.
Any solution must respect international law and the UN Charter.

My entire LIFE has seen a retreat of the left. We own this. I wanted to believe Biden when he said he was fighting for the soul of this nation, but as many have pointed out, what Trump has done, is doing is only procedurally inconsistent with “American” values. Which is not a call to give up.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
