Someone on TikTok repeatedly messages me with, “do a TikTok on each of your books, what they’re about!”
You mean like…the books I’ve written, in which the words sort of (hopefully) explain what the book is about?
I am happy for people who can do all that work but Jesus the internet has worn me out

“Russia is not a country seeking a “reset” or compromise — it is conditioned to view us as an existential enemy. In the 1990s…70 percent of the population thought America was a friend and 15 percent a foe. Under Putin, those numbers have flipped.”

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

If I went to a doctor complaining of back pain and he took a sledgehammer to the spot, telling me it’ll hurt a bit longer but eventually get better, I’d probably sue him and find a new doctor.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

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.
