The US has had 130 mass shootings since the start of 2023 and 13 occurred at schools. In 86 days, 63 children have died from gun violence. To paraphrase Mandela, there is no keener revelation of the GOP’s soul than the way it treats its guns versus the way it treats its children.

“Our tomorrow is the child of our today. Through thought and deed, we exert a great deal of influence over this child, even though we can’t control it absolutely. Best to think about it, though. Best to try to shape it into something good.”

THREAD. One of the news outlets most subtly committed to spreading misinformation about police is NPR. Yesterday, NPR editors allowed one of their reporters to do something egregious.

Highly recommend this story about an incredible woman - Betty Reid Soskin - from my little corner of the world. A woman who has lived "nine lives" with different identities, her thoughts on race, memory, and history are particularly interesting

If anyone out there is in the NYC area in the coming months and interested in rare books or just early American history generally, you might find it interesting to check out this @NYHistory exhibit of rare 17c and 18c books on which I served as a consultant and writer.
