The US has a long history of ideological exclusion/deportation (barring/expelling based on political beliefs, expressions, & associations) including excluding/deporting professors & students. I wrote about that history in "Threat of Dissent." @harvardpress.bsky.social www.amazon.com/gp/product/0...

Unveiling the official U.S. cover for WEARING THE LION! My next book, about the messy relationship between Hera and Heracles. So glad to finally share this with y'all. I love its striking colors, and the creatures it hints at--each is a huge part of the book. The art is by Adam Auerbach! #BookSky
A fancy book cover! Against a nocturnal background of teals and purples, we see two Greek columns, done in black. Between them walks the silhouette of a bearded man in a tunic, carrying a lion across his shoulders. The man's head is tilted so he can smile into the peaceful lion's face; their look into each other's eyes like they share a secret. Around the right column, several serpentine heads of a hydra are watching them. From beneath the left column, a deer is watching them. In yellow text, the cover reads WEARING THE LION. JOHN WISWELL. AUTHOR OF SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN.

It doesn't surprise me that privileged men are more likely to believe (incorrectly) that they're worse off than women or to blame feminism for the challenges they face. As I show in Holding It Together, dude-fluencers push this view to keep us divided. 2/ www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...
