"Don't join the book burners." These words from President Dwight D. Eisenhower are just as relevant today. We don't preserve democracy by hiding difficult history or silencing ideas, we strengthen it by confronting them. The freedom to read protects our freedom to learn. #FreedomToRead

Dwight D. Eisenhower: Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed.

We’ve had presidents who didn’t understand economics, foreign policy, diplomacy, and lacked knowledge of historical lessons. But they were advised by people who did and listened to them. Now we have a president who doesn’t understand anything and won’t listen to people who do.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.

the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.

that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

This is an important piece. Epstein was a consummate social climber and courted academics as a way of building social clout. Brockman and “the edge” illuminate just how that worked.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
