Dangerous Ice by Roger Berkowitz

ICE is expanding into something colder, harder, more dangerous. Disappearances. Masks. Silence. Hannah Arendt warned what comes next.
Read my latest: Dangerous Ice, featuring Sophie Cabot Black’s haunting poem. @sophiecabotblac medium.com/p/ed9c707ad212

In amor mundi we kid poetry and horror. Arendt and Ice.

How to be Decent in an Indecent society.

You need to listen to Ian Buruma on this essential question.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social @marcishore.bsky.social

Samantha Fazekas' "Hannah Arendt's Unwritten Chapter on Judging" is fantastic. The inaugural volume in the new Series "Thinking With Arendt". Absolutely essential reading.

It was excellent! Just the right pitch and tone. And, kudos to @samantharhill.bsky.social @lyndseystonebri.bsky.social & @rogerberkowitz.bsky.social They were great and are great guides to discovering Arendt! Thank you to PBS and everyone involved. Now,… where to begin with reading Arendt?

Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny - About the documentary | American Masters | PBS Discover Hannah Arendt, who transformed her time as a political prisoner during World War II into daring insights about totalitarianism.

I had high expectations for the PBS documentary on Hannah Arendt, which premiered last night. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

They were exceeded. "Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny" excelled in doing just what the title says. Facing it.

If you watched last night, feel free to share your reactions.
