Once you get a friend-enemy politics rolling—once mutual expectations are aligned around doing politics in that mode—enemies must & will be found, no matter how marginal, inoffensive, or defenseless. Their persecution will become the routine business of more and more serious political actors.

As historians, can we please at least settle on a definite method to determine, once and for all, which centuries were long and which were short? That’s the least non-historians can expect from us.

Endlich! SPD, Grüne und Linke empfehlen heute ihren Mitgliedern, ihre Accounts auf "X" still zu legen. Bleibt die Frage: Wann folgen die anderen demokratischen Parteien? Und was ist mit der Bundesregierung? Musks Plattform ist kein Forum, sondern ein Verstärker für Hass & Hetze. #WirVerlassenX

"Paranoia, cruelty and the faux-knowing cynical cluelessness of conspiracy theories all extend far beyond the Magaverse now. They are qualities routinely displayed across the political spectrum… "This might be Donald Trump’s lasting legacy: he has already reshaped America in his own image."
The Trump shooting conspiracy theories show America has gone mad
Paranoia and cynicism are no longer just for MAGA - and that might be the president’s lasting legacy

This is the exact same RFK saying the exact same stuff he does now. The big bad corporations are doing vaccines and stuff to make you sick and all the experts and agencies are corrupted by them, and they're like Nazis really, so I'm gonna go clean house and stop them. It's the same shtick.

China’s Great Leap Forward caused a dramatic spike in child deaths— Child mortality rates in China have fallen from more than 20% in 1950 to less than 1% today. But this steady progress was interrupted in the late 1950s during the “Great Leap Forward”.
As someone who studies politicization of democratic militaries this statement on X is a five- alarm fire. It creates an undeniable permission structure for overt partisan behavior by mil. It's part of a concerted effort by civilian leaders to turn the U.S. military into a partisan aligned force.
Waitman Wade Beorn, PhD, FRHistS@waitmanwbeorn.com · 4mo ago🧵 A masterclass in creating a dysfunctional command climate. Also, just existing in the military is dangerous business. And it's why we take safety so seriously. And when the SecDef reaches down and cancels a subordinate's investigation out of hand, brother, bad things are happening.
But instead they just don’t care. They don’t really bother to push back. They don’t worry how it will be perceived. They know they can do anything, no matter how bad, and their insensate numbskull supporters will never question it, nor will the opposition or media ever truly push the issue.

We see this in every war, images and videos that serve as stark reminders of how life carries on, even in a war zone. An Iranian girl plays on swings at a beach in the city of Bandar Abbas as smoke rises into the air from a nearby naval base that was targeted by US strikes.
