Hey Carl. This is Brian from the channel Bookish_Texan. Just wanted to reach out and say that I hope you’ll come back to Booktube. It’s up to you of course, but I will miss your content if you don’t.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.
If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.
🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

If you are interested in the story of a group of soldiers fighting their way across the Pacific during WWII you can hear me discuss my book MacArthur’s Bloody Butchers on the Heroes Behind Headlines podcast.

Men are pretending to be ICE to abduct women as if this wasn't the most predictable thing to come out of allowing masked goons with no ID to snatch people off the streets.

If your Dad is into history, particularly WWII history, my book MacArthur’s Bloody Butchers might make a great Father’s Day gift. #booksky

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

If Trump's "big, beautiful" reconciliation bill goes through, 13.7 million people will lose their health insurance & even more will become underinsured.
Make no mistake, thousands of low-income & working class Americans will die unnecessarily if it passes. We must not allow it.

It’s V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day). The end of World War II in Europe.
The U.S. and its European Allies defeated fascism in Germany and Italy.
Don’t surrender to fascism here at home 80 years later.
