Walt Whitman would have approved. Sounds like a Leaves of Grass stanza. https://t.co/1zKuXCll0j

U/Penn's Kathleen Hall Jamieson says consumers of Fox & other conserv sources also see mainstream media-but in different way. An "echo chamber" doesn't "mean u only watch 1 ideological view. It is that you watch 1 ideological view & it creates the frame for everything else u see" https://t.co/KdcNWHAIB4

I hope @PreetBharara noticed when they pulled back on the shot tonight w/ @thelauracoates that we both had Caro’s classic Master of the Senate in pride of place. For my money the best non-fiction book about modern US politics (yes, edging The Power Broker re my native NYC)

Lessons teachers have nixed: “Excerpts from Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.” Passages from Columbus’s journal describing his brutal treatment of Indigenous peoples. A data set on the NYPD’s use of force, analyzed by race.” https://t.co/17zAMLca2S

FL GOV DeSantis has censored how teachers talk re sexual orientation & how teachers & employers can discuss race. He's eased way 4 critics to ban books & upped criminal penalties for disruptive protest. His new fund-raising email says Biden's DHS is "The new face of censorship"

Out of stock

Amazon gets it right when they pick as their favorite history book of 22 “The Escape Artist” by @Freedland. A gripping work of witness, it’s told with a journalist’s urgency, a historian’s rigor and a novelist’s eye for character and detail. Brilliant and moving history
