The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

I put out a longer video episode today. It’s an interview with my drag queen friend. Please have a look! youtu.be/95w0vUoPjNQ?...

Weather unfollowed is a danger to all Americans. NOAA faces proposed budget reductions of about $2 billion, and one proposal would eliminate NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research entirely, shutting down all research laboratories across the country.

My latest: I wrote about Trump's Golden Statue. And as a former Christian, let me hold y'all's hand when I say...the Trump figure is not the modern version of "golden calf". If you know your Bible, the statue represents something far worse. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

There sure are a lot of folks with strong opinions about bronze age literature! I'm sure that all the folks angry about a black Helen of Troy were equally upset at the Coen Brothers for their adaptation of the Odyssey.

Set in Russia in the years following the fall of communism, The Wizard of the Kremlin doesn't always work dramatically. But you leave with a better understanding of how Vladimir Putin came to power. n.pr/4wC58hu

The maker of jets that crashed and killed everyone onboard and the carmaker fined tens of millions for mishandled recalls have suddenly decided to sponsor their top regulator's reality show purely for the love of the open road www.wsj.com/business/boe...
