I will without a doubt be back but I don't yet know when. I will happily reach out when I do, and see if the offer still stands!

Good lord, I'd be delighted and honored! But I'm back in New York now.

I will look that up

Thank you! Yes, I wanted to make that clear. It was no Renn fair

I was curious, from the reviews I’ve read I had the impression there was nothing new in terms of scholarship. Of course I’m still interested to read it myself, but don’t like hearing that he’s ungenerous too LGBT scholars!

I’ll be looking at all the other recommendations in these comments!

I came to recommend The Reckoning by Charles Nichols though I see someone else already has. A prime resource for me, and a thrilling read! Also Dark Renaissance, also already mentioned, though I have only just gotten it and haven’t read it yet.

Thank you!!

Thank you! This is a nice reminder to me to visit this site once in a while!

This is a play explicitly about how artists survive – or don't – under authoritarian regimes. I started working on it during 47's first run, when the threat began looming. I hoped the fears were unfounded. But here we are. I'm glad I get to tell this story though.

Exactly. As one admitted non-expert to another, perfectly expressed

Vittoria Elliott Leah Feiger Feb 7, 2025 2:47 PM A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis Designates DOGE Staff as ‘Insider Threat’ An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately."

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

FOURTH: Indivisible will be holding a protest this TUESDAY at 5PM at the Treasury Department.

We Choose To Fight: Action Call · Indivisible This Sunday night, February 2 at 8pm ET/5pm PT, you’re invited to join Indivisible, MoveOn, Working Families Party, and a coalition of other organizations for an action call. During the call, you will...

In a few minutes, if you could use a sense of solidarity

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

The UK election is giving me hope... I hope justified!

Me too!

Absolutely agree. I was just thinking that Vico Ortiz would be perfect, so this news is jarring.
