Fantastic essay.

Everyone who has written at any substantial length, whether prose or poetry, knows that the process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts. Or to be more precise, writing crystallizes previously half-formulated or unformulated thoughts, gives them form, and extends chains of thoughts in new directions.

i will say that although this is the beginning of the right’s assault on birthright citizenship, one difference with roe v. wade is that the latter was fueled by a mass movement with a broad, institutionalized base in the nation’s evangelical and catholic churches. the question, i think…

The fact that russia refuses to end the war despite huge military and economic losses (both relative and absolute) for zero strategic gain underscores that the war was never about security in military terms, but always about imperialist conquest driven by identity delusions.

An actual war hero from Maine, Joshua Chamberlain, quit his job at a college and learned how to defeat Lee by reading a book about how to be a military officer. He read a book. Anyway. They should have hanged Lee outside the White House.

I want the world to know how ashamed I am. This is not what Americans want. I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent. If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do. I'm sorry.
