a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Trump smile like that. hell, I’d be willing to bet several American dollars that his own children haven’t seen him smile like that

This is exactly why his viziers work so hard to insulate him from any voices but those that agree with him.

I am looking for a good book on the Etruscans. Ideally more general audience than scholarly. I read some academic history writing but for what I want endless "more/less significant than previously thought" arguments with the previous generation of historians are not it.
Recommendations appreciated!

The word Diaspora was essentially invented to describe Jews.
there never was a Jewish "diaspora." Judaism spread by its merits, not because "Arabs drove us out of our homeland"
there sure as hell is a Palestinian diaspora
calling global Jews "diaspora" is a little antisemitic ("wandering Jew"), and it is genocidally Islamophobic

Every day it becomes harder for my trans friends to get the care they need explicitly because Dems did jack shit while in office and now Republicans are free to push all the anti-trans laws they want, so don't fucking tell me that "democrats have done a lot actually," because they've done *nothing.*
