The end had me shaking with emotion. I see there's a PBS film based on the book. I wonder if LTU wrote about the experience of seeing her Martha come to life on the screen after bringing her voice forth on the page

If 330 voters had gone the other way in 2022, Michigan would have had no trifecta. No free lunches. No Roe codified. No green energy leaps. Please consider giving to targeted state legislative races in my home state through my Giving Circle to help win the whole damn state.

If you are a manifestly unqualified Federalist Society judicial saboteur, you need only learn two things and ignore all other facets of actually acting like a judge: (a) Democratic Presidents/legislatures cannot enact policy (b) Republican Presidents can commit whatever crimes they want.

They’re invoking a case that said the Constitution barred African Americans from being citizens to persuade a court with two African American justices and the sad thing is one of them will absolutely agree with them.

Sadness at realizing that the next frontier ("A people's history of the polis") is difficult to write because the very thing that makes the polis exciting (civic democracy) gets in the way of radical rewrites
