@sotsogm @SethCotlar I'm thinking of Give Us the Ballot by Ari Berman, where Goldwater's quoted as saying things like "We're not going to get the Negro vote as a bloc in 1964 and 1968, so we ought to go hunting where the ducks are." See full excerpt attached. https://t.co/rVRZLtmPf4

@soledadobrien Yeah, the guy comes off as a complete psychopath. "Shame I choked a man to death. Well, what are you going to do in a system as bad as this one!? I can only hope my killing a man inspires us all to come together and pursue real systemic change."

@evansquilliams I think you'd like Junji Ito if you've never gotten a look at his work. Tomie and Uzumaki are great places to start, if you haven't.
