The scattershot and continued unconstitutional moves different states and municipalities are making has got me thinking about local colonial legislation against enslaved people in the Spanish Americas (regulations that prohibited types of employment, dress, sale of various goods etc etc)

Honestly thinking more about this I think including Ernest Renan in VB’s catalog is at once a legitimizing gesture to balance out some of their more odious (and obvious!) offerings while also still platforming an author who serves the same Western Civilizational supremacy ends

The NARA II archives on the first US Occupation of Haiti (1915-1934) are just folders and folders of US importers and incorporations soliciting the American Consul. Desperate to enter this new “market” once the US had taken over. And I was just looking at the Cap-Haïtien correspondence!

Love to see it. Also confirms the Super Bowl performance became a perfect screen onto which bigots couldn’t help but project (publicly!) their worst, ugliest racism and “fears.” They dont know what BB was singing but they’re sure he was talking about hating them. He wasn’t talking to you at all…

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
