This is how #blooddonors are treated in France. A soggy biscuit and warm orange juice are not enough reward for the service we provide. Every time I donate I feel loved

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

UK: fetch the cctv
India: break down a door
Norway: bring the sniffer dog
Australia: ask about the family feud
USA: read the case report 3 years later

If you want to know why Trump has betrayed Ukraine, one suspects it’s partly the usual reason: his ego wants to destroy everything that reminds him that he is a weak coward.

I guess it’s outrageous that the American people want to know who is inside the government seeking to dismantle it and gain access to their data and a host of other sensitive info. We aren’t allowed to know who they are? Why not?
