Given that most photos of the Hiroshima bombing are from the air, it's important to remember there were actual photos from the ground that day. Here, survivors line up for relief, dazed and horribly burned. Photos by Yoshito Matsushige. #hiroshima #ww2 #worldwarII #atomicbombs

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

🚨 NEW: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went to California for a photo op against a state-federal high-speed rail project. Instead, he was drowned out by boos as crowds rallied for the project. Maybe he should focus on keeping planes in the sky instead of staging stunts for the Dear Leader.
