He's right, and it's not just Brazil.
Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway.

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US
The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

Frustrating to hear liberals use "misinformation" as an excuse for being so late to realizing that the genocide is a genocide, or at the very least a terrifying attempt at ethnic cleansing (ahem, The Atlantic).

Something many do not know: The Biden administration engaged in a public and private pressure campaign to compel Netanyahu to reject the ethnic cleansing calls of his far-right allies. It worked. Then Biden lost, the pressure stopped and Trump reversed everything.

Biden could have stoped it in one phone call -
A president can initiate the sale of Arms to allies, such as Isreal, but once the value of those arms hit $25mil, Congress has to approve. And plays a significant role in the oversight of the entire "deal". Can't point blame at one when all who voted in favor of the sale hands are dirty.

I genuinely think what we’re seeing is the Big Sign that the traditionally liberal establishment (both the Dems and media) are owned by exactly the same people as the conservatives. If they’re willing to dive this far headfirst into open racism, there’s nowhere they aren’t willing to go.

I cannot fathom any reason to speak positively about the Biden administration on anything, including the IRA which made it more expensive to buy EVs, at this point. Everything he did, no matter how good it was overall, was always at least one or more steps back on something important.

Looking over microfilm while doing some research was one of the coolest things I did in law school, and everyone should do this even if they aren't writing a book or a paper.
Here’s the thing.
If you don’t like the fun and the challenge of
1. Reading widely
2. Going to archives
3. Searching for new sources
4. Playing around with book structure
5. Writing and revising
Why are you even writing a nonfiction history book?
Fame? 😆
Money? 🤣
I just don’t get it.

Lots of commentary on this piece already, all of which I agree with.
For historians, research is a fundamental part of writing.
To farm it out to AI changes the nature of this intellectual process in fundamental ways.
And as Stacy Schiff points out, it also takes all the fun out of it.
