Update: Trump thinks that the mayor is arrestingly handsome
Personally my big hope for the mayor meeting the president is that the mayor doesn’t get arrested

there are lots of people who write "big history" books - even as non-historians! - who are liked and respected and engaged with by historians because they did the work! a couple of examples off the top of my head: James C. Scott, Charles Mann.
People say it's impossible to write a responsible "Big History" book but I think that's false! You would just have to be diligent in reading the literature and systematic in contacting academics to stress-test your conclusions.
The Ted Talk crowd would rather pontificate than do actual work.

I was a faculty member at IU in 2016, and after the election that year, I had to change the way I taught my 200+ student Intro Sociology class, because a handful of students started flooding the class whiteboard app by posting "MAGA" over and over again.
"The professor will no longer be able to teach a class on diversity after she showed students a diagram that included the 'Make America Great Again' slogan as an example of white supremacy."

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

The elimination of the filibuster at the start of the Trump administration would be the most disastrous thing to happen for trans people federally.
The policies it would usher in would make what we've seen the first 11 months feel like a cakewalk.

If they eliminate the filibuster, it means national bans on gender affirming care, bathroom bans, a sports ban, gender marker bans, elimination of legal recognition etc. It will make life unlivable for trans people in the US, even in blue states. It's a worst case scenario.
Trump: “…BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY,” THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
