I'm a historian, and I studied the fall of Rome. Here's what life is like in a dying empire. It's the little things.

The fall of an empire is supposed to be a dramatic thing. But the reality is far less exciting.

It happens in the text of legislation nobody bothered reading, in local elections nobody followed, in a thousand tiny disasters that amounted to a thousand little cuts on the body politic.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

The Adolescent Style in American Politics The version of manhood placed on display by Trump and his aides is the one imagined by teenage boys.

@mcuban.bsky.social We need the modern day equivalent of Midnight Basketball for adolescent males so they donโ€™t grow up to be like these twits. Thoughts? (And how can I help even though Iโ€™m a middle-aged female?)
