U.S. nuclear policy often reflects strategic interests more than consistent nonproliferation principles. Fair criticism—or an oversimplification? Where do you think the strongest argument for or against this perspective is? #ForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #NonProliferation #MiddleEast
It doesn’t matter if the Epstein files got pictures of Trump does any number of salacious things. His base doesn’t care💁🏿
Scott Dworkin@dworkin.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe wall of silence surrounding the most notorious files in modern history just suffered a massive system failure. A federal judge explicitly ruled that the regime is in direct violation of a transparency law. See the exact text they tried to hide: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-eps...
@michaelharriot.bsky.social #booksky Just finished Black AF History by Michael Harriot. Equal parts hilarious, infuriating, and meticulously researched. It doesn’t just challenge the version of American history many of us learned—it fills in the chapters that were left out. Highly recommended
#booksky #booknumber52026 The Perfect Failure” isn’t just about the Bay of Pigs—it’s a cautionary tale about imperial overreach. Overconfidence. Bad intelligence. Faith in covert action. Pressure to act. Failure to understand local realities. Lessons that remain relevant today.
#booknumber42026 Just finished reading Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary. #booksky #insghtfulreading “Segregation leads to an erosion of individual rights.” Still relevant. Still unfinished work. ⚖️📚
#booksky Just finished Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. Not a flattering look at Sheryl Sandberg’s “lean in” image—or the decision-making culture around Mark Zuckerberg. What comes through? Power, optics, and growth often outran accountability.
Just finished The New Map by Daniel Yergin 🌍⚡️A master class in geopolitics, power, and how the world really moves ♟️ Oil, EVs, China, Russia—this book connects ALL the dots. Highly recommend #booknumber22026 #TheNewMap #DanielYergin #Energy #Geopolitics #GlobalEconomy #EnergyTransition #OilAndGas
#booksky #book12026 The fragile dynamic between Ernest King and Chester Nimitz two very different leaders holding the Navy together. USN often went up against elite Japanese pilots with little experience. And : codebreakers cracking JN-25 #WWIIHistory #PacificWar #Midway #NavalHistory

#booksky Outlive by Peter Attia #Outlive #Healthspan #Longevity #WholeHealth Outlive quietly argues that the goal isn’t just to outlast disease, but to protect the parts of ourselves that make longevity meaningful — presence, resilience, and connection.
#booksky Just finished Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi. 📚 It’s one of those books that doesn’t just inform — it recalibrates your understanding of America. Highly recommend it for anyone ready to confront history with clarity and honesty. #StampedFromTheBeginning #IbramXKendi

By Hands Now Known by Margaret A. Burnham isn’t just history — it’s evidence. Jim Crow’s violence wasn’t “extra-legal.” It was the law. Burnham exposes how courts, cops, and lawmakers built a system that made racial terror routine — and how its legacy still underpins American power #booksky
#booksky book number 14 2025Brotherhood of the Bomb by Gregg Herken. A fascinating look at the tangled lives of Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, & Edward Teller—and how their loyalties shaped the nuclear age. History, science, and power collide. #History #Oppenheimer #NuclearAge
