I Want You to Understand Chicago
"I want you to understand the historical danger of a secret police. Left unchecked their mandate will grow; the boundaries of acceptable identity and speech will shrink...I want you to understand that every issue you care about—any hope of participatory democracy—is downstream of this."

Is Plato woke? Texas A&M professor speaks out after being banned from teaching the Greek philosopher
The Greek philosopher's writing explores themes of sexuality and gender, making it susceptible to the university's new rules adopted in November that ban the teaching of “race and gender ideology”.
There is an irony here, which is that many who consider themselves conservatives frequently call for the reinvigoration of classic texts in univeristy curricula. Except when they are so indecent as to question modern gender norms. You want the classics, but edited. Like the Epstein Files, perhaps?

Further Back to the Future: Neo-Royalism, the Trump Administration, and the Emerging International System - Volume 79 Issue S1
There's a lot of talk of the Trump admin.'s foreign policy harkening back to Metternich or Westphalia. This article makes a good case for an alternative understanding. The mafia boss-style system of patronage, and dealings with individuals rather than sovereign states is something quite different.
