On this International Women’s Day, I make one solemn promise: there will never ever be an episode of TGS that doesn’t feature a woman, because you are always gonna have to listen to my voice πŸ₯°

Also, here are some thoughts on being a woman general history podcasting:

I had to inform my students that we are at war with Iran and several US soldiers are already dead because they had no earthly idea what is happening right now.

If there was a reason to turn out for this protest, the #PedoInChief just gave you one.

Might I suggest researching some old protest signs from the Vietnam war.

Iran Tests the Trump Doctrine Donald Trump didn’t campaign on non-intervention. He campaigned on a different kind of war.

New from me: the war with Iran is showcasing the Trump Doctrine - regime change without occupation or nation building. It shows the unfortunate advantage an authoritarian has in foreign policy, and reinforces why it's more important than ever that Congress reassert their constitutional authority.

During his campaign for president Donald J. Trump repeatedly said he would not start any new wars. He specifically said he wouldn't start another never ending war in the Middle East. I guess he lied or didn't really mean it.

Hello Bluesky! My new book, THE FIREARM REVOLUTION, is out on 14 April. It’s about how a new technology changed society, and how hard it was to control. Here’s a little thread of what’s inside:

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority
