If you haven’t picked up this book on #American #history by #ThaddeusRussell, you should.
It explains a lot of how we got here, this deep, in this timeline, and presents models for how we have always advanced, whether we like to admit it or not.
No sleep ‘til Brooklyn.
No sleep for the heretics.
No sleep for the renegades.
I just finished a book by #ThaddeusRussell on #American #history and he has hosted #CurtisYarvin more than once on his podcast.

Finished “A Renegade #History of the United States” by #ThaddeusRussell.
A fascinating and revealing read.
Highly recommend.
"White supremacy is not creative..." Whoo! She said a whole word. If this makes some folks squirm, I wonder why that is. #WhassupMyDEIs #BlackMastodon https://www.tiktok.com/@mspackyetti/video/7351596934005525802?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=6892183009032128006

I have never followed / consumed anything from Grayzone, but I listened to one podcast convo with #ThaddeusRussell and he didn’t… smell fashy.
Can you say more? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unregistered-with-thaddeus-russell/id1227060738?i=1000644019032
“In 1876, the demoralized Republicans agreed to withdraw federal troops from the south in exchange, giving the presidency to Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, in an election that had gone to Congress because of a dispute over which party had won the most electoral votes.”
- #ThaddeusRussell
What concession will the batshit crazy MAGA movement get from the federal government to resolve the dispute in 2024?
#ThaddeusRussell in A Renegade History of the United States:
“The lesson that the government secures our rights only if we abide by democracy's demand to sacrifice and restrain ourselves had been broadcast to…citizens since the Revolution.
“All citizens and potential citizens were told that the more they worked and the less they lived for themselves, the more they were entitled to protection.”

I co-sign #Godfrey’s thesis here in convo with #ShannonSharpe.
Black #American #culture is the most subversively obvious on the planet.
I have a feeling #ThaddeusRussell would agree.

I’m reading #ThaddeusRussell’s book about renegades of #American history.
I thought I knew the backstory of minstrels, but it’s wild.
Highly recommend the book.
