@jdietz224 @EliClifton James Blight and janet (sic) Lang. I highly recommend their book Dark Beyond Darkness. You should also look up what Robert McNamara, a direct participant in the Cuban missile crisis, has to say about it.

In his 1776 book "The Wealth of Nations" Adam Smith described the politics of inflation, and how any mention of profits is always left out of it. A leaked Bank of America memo shows just how right he was: https://t.co/UopeEcUDhE by @kenklippenstein & me https://t.co/S8Knh9OWuh

This Margaret Kimberley @freedomrideblog video includes the amazing saga of Oney Judge's escape from George Washington. I first learned about this via Kimberley's fantastic book Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents. https://t.co/MMNKrAJIKm https://t.co/KoaVCCYUKs

George Bernard Shaw did write "My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world," but as lines for a character in a play, not as something he busted out in his own voice. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this subject further. https://t.co/Ksailukl8y

In his memoir "A Moveable Feast," Ernest Hemingway said, "They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure." https://t.co/gciKm0jFGW https://t.co/E9qsqLNKqT

Timothy McVeigh & Terry Nichols killed 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. Four days later on April 23, the panelists on This Week With David Brinkley decried the "violent hatred" on the right (the bombing) & the left (the movie JFK). https://t.co/LtBjWgnQ5M

On #Deconstructed @ryangrim talks with @rachaelmbade & @karoun about their book Unchecked: The Untold Story Behind Congress's Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump. It's always amazing to see the Dem leadership's ironclad commitment to never wielding power. https://t.co/RT7ZJIHKiY

Here's Samantha Power attending a fancy party for Henry Kissinger's 100th birthday. Not many people realize that the title of her book "America and the Age of Genocide" was celebratory. https://t.co/fbxQ6G9wBy
