Tearing down existing government processes and workforces wastes institutional knowledge. It does not increase government efficiency; it only increases the power and wealth of those individuals choosing what to destroy.

Kamala Harris: You inspired us in 2024.
If Vice President Harris inspired YOU like she inspired 74,749,891 Americans, it's worth a solid "all the way re-post!"

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

EXCELLENT AMA.
Some assume American exceptionalism is the simple fact that the US is exceptional
It’s the opposite, in a sense. It’s a belief that—somehow—things that happen elsewhere won’t happen here. That the US is uniquely virtuous
It’s powerful & blinds us to what’s happening in open view…

If you are doing an AMA, I would like to know what it is that people tend to get wrong about the meaning of American exceptionalism.

Just taught my last class of the semester.
Early National America
And my last lecture ended by urging students to remember that there is no endpoint to democracy. You have to work at it.
Always.

If you're wondering where the fuck are the democrats during all this..you're not alone. The Bulwark is wondering the same thing.
"The half of the country that voted against Donald Trump is left standing alone. Who in the Biden administration is shoring up whatever guardrails remain?" You know, someone can do something about that.
