@willdalrymple.bsky.social I finished reading you epic book, The Golden Road. I enjoyed the unique journey it took me on through trade with India, spread of Buddhism, Hindu and Islam, and the science & math connections to West

@empirepoduk.bsky.social here is how Persia got a name changed to Iran. Or was it always Iran and the west just called it Persia? youtu.be/MfWiqXcOQJI?...

I'm old enough to remember when Carter had to sell his peanut farm to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) saying Trump’s threatened new tariffs on wine imports could personally benefit him because he’s also in the wine business. Below the text is a photo of four bottles of wine with large “TRUMP” labels.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

@willdalrymple.bsky.social I love the detailed history of Buddhism, especially Mahayana that you’ve provided in The Golden Road. I obviously knew of the decline of Buddhism in India and you explain how that happened in detail.

Everyone everywhere should call out Trump for his erratic behavior. Expecting the military to shoot civilians in the legs. Expecting someone to arrest and murder veterans in Congress for reminding the military that not all orders are legal to carry out.

The result of the antivaxx movement is death for kids. Whooping cough can be fatal for young infants - it causes them to stop breathing. Kids can only be vaccinated at 6-8w of life. Before then, protection is provided by vaccinating mum during pregnancy.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
