When we were studying the rise of fascism, one thing that the history books never quite captured was the extent of the cowardice.

The astonishing thing is just how quickly many people have rolled over for this stuff. Either they agree with it or they’re cowards, which these days is just as bad.

@minneapolisfed.bsky.social’s recent Beige Book reports on some of the economic shock experienced in Minnesota during the recent immigration operation. Read more and watch this short recap from our regional econ team members @erickgarcialuna.bsky.social and Haley Chinander. #beigebook #econsky

One worked as a groundskeeper and janitor in the 🇺🇸; previously in the Philippines 🇵🇭 he owned a tailoring shop in Manila and possibly fought as a guerrilla against the Japanese occupation in WW2.

The other (whom I did not know well) was a philanderer. Lola divorced him when she became a US citizen.

Not sure in what sense @sodrock.bsky.social thought it was insane, but to me it is striking that it is as low as 40% for a strike against a long-term enemy and a brutal regime, which at least appears to be 'going well' if you are paying only limited attention.

I'd expect higher, to be honest.

Their book, published in 2016, told the history of the club ...

On my latest @spursnostalgiapod.bsky.social I was honoured to be joined by @martincloake.bsky.social and @spursblogger.bsky.social to look back at the issues that most affected Spurs fans in the 80s and 90s.

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

One year later, seven fired federal workers share where they are now The Trump administration fundamentally altered the trajectories of hundreds of thousands of lives.

“They unleashed an army of highly talented, skilled, and competent public servants that now have the motivation and the time to fight back. They've tried to break our souls. They tried to break us down, but they're not going to take that fighting servant spirit. They're really not.”
