one thing I'll add is that monuments can be taken down, buildings can be renamed, but we will NEVER get back the trans lives that are endangered from withdrawal of care as proposed in the US house bill, or the lives across the global south that were lost from USAID being illegally terminated.

Crabgrass Frontier (perhaps oddly, the most self-radicalizing book I've yet read), and Mason & Dixon (carefully delineating the bounds of my pretentiousness).
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)
Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion
