Mitchell also was a major propagator of Lost Cause myths, of course. In many ways, she is a sort of neo-Confederate literary response designed to bury the harsh portrayal of slavery depicted by Harriet Beecher Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

HOW LONG IS IT? Christopher Nolan's new film is SO LONG that the only way people can watch it is while in a three-layer inception. https://t.co/2aNvqXxffu

@AbdullahIbnal That's interesting. Their full name is "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine," so I guess it checks out.

Even some modern scholarly works are quite biased, such as the very pro-Ukrainian book The Culmination of Conflict: The Ukrainian-Polish Civil War and the Expulsion of Ukrainians After the Second World War, by Stephen Rapawy. https://t.co/6ktEnadS2E

@sarcasmlemons I've never heard of "Red Rising." However, as a long-time sf fan, I'll suggest Revelation Space, by Alastair Reynolds Norstrilia, by Cordwainer Smith Ringworld, by Larry Niven Stand on Zanzibar, by John Brunner Her Smoke Rose Up Forever, by James Tiptree Jr (aka Alice Sheldon)

Connecticut man lights car on fire allegedly because he didn't like the fact that the owner of the car belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). He's been charged with a hate crime. https://t.co/mPNjpX5Y9f

Gee, one of the books that had been removed was “They Called Themselves the K.K.K.: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group,” by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. https://t.co/cVkLycMfVb

Extremists have power far beyond their numbers in times of high polarization, bc of the pressure they can exert on the more moderate. Those w/the fortitude (it is *not* an easy read) might be interested in William Freehling's The Road to Disunion, Vol 2: Secessionists Triumphant.

If you are interested in the Ruby Ridge event, the best book on the subject is still Jess Walter's Ruby Ridge: The Truth and Tragedy of the Randy Weaver Family (originally published as Every Knee Shall Bow). https://t.co/4SmRmLfNH0 https://t.co/pDTt00Exz3
