Pastors at a protest? That's the scene at anti-Trump rallies across the US.

These two people cared so much about our state and our country that they were willing to serve in office. They have families and friends who love them, and are in shock.

"The abuse of the word 'antisemitism' is meant to generate a sense of plausibility, confuse opposition, and create more space for the actual phenomenon of antisemitism. And this misdirection is an integral part of the effort to replace a constitutional order with an authoritarian one."
Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

Just finished Jane Eyre. I had never read it before, and really enjoyed it. The 596 pages never felt like a slog. Up next is Wide Sargasso Sea. I’m also going to start the audiobook of Brother I’m Dying on the recommendation of Ann Patchett.

I just finished the audiobook of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present by Ruth Ben-Ghiat. I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to understand what is happening now. Reading is resistance.

I learned that this image of me from 1926 made it on a book cover.

My non-fiction reading from 2024 included Naomi Klein's No Is Not Enough, Doppelgänger, and The Shock Doctrine. Some other standouts were Kiese Laymon's Heavy, and Tim Alberta's The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory. What are you reading?

I read fewer books in 2024 than in 2023, but many were gems. In fiction, I read Tana French and Paul Murray for the first time, and more by Lydia Millet and Lauren Groff. Prophet Song by Paul Lynch had me waking up in a panic. Might not recommend it to a sensitive friend, but it’s a timely story.
