2/2 Brad is co-host of the incredible podcast Straight White American Jesus, which is a cheeky name for a very liberal podcast about Christian nationalism. I’ve learned so much from him and Dan Miller and would heartily recommend their work if you’re unfamiliar with it! They’re extremely knowledgeable, both work as college professors in related fields.
It’s available for preorder now: - https://static.macmillan.com/static/essentials/american-caesar-9781250427922/

His new book, American Ceasar, is about the death of democracy and the different attacks on it and how we got here.

Time for some #requiredreading. Have just begun Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny.”
Although as it was published in 2017, it now reads like a grim playbook for every lapse that created a second #TrumpWhiteHouse.

Gifted article-real worth reading this. [NYTimes]: Harris Cracked Down on Violent Offenders; Showed Leniency on Less Serious Crime By Robert Draper (the esteemed-Robert Draper!)
