Conservatives: What makes America great is its creativity and vitality, ever striving for the next new thing.
Also Conservatives: English departments are teaching books I’ve never heard of and from perspectives I’m unfamiliar with? SHUT IT ALL DOWN!!!!
Here’s a good piece on Roger Kimball, the author of that bloviating and hyperventilating article. You will be surprised to learn, I’m sure, that he’s been saying this for decades. thebaffler.com/latest/decline…
Basically, Kimball has been these guys since the 1990s, yelling “boo, you’re terrible” at every new development in American culture and academia. Now he’s feeling his oats because he can hitch his reactionary wagon to a movement with enough pitchforks to make his dreams reality.

65 years ago: the founder of modern conservatism, William F. Buckley, published a book about how awesome Joe McCarthy was.
Today: the President beloved by conservatives is Donald Trump, whose lawyer and mentor in the 1980s was Roy Cohn, McCarthy’s right hand man.
The Harvard Crimson review of Buckley’s book. thecrimson.com/article/1954/4…
And also, Buckley’s co-author, L. Brent Bozell, ghost authored Goldwater’s Conscience of a Conservative (1960), a key foundational text in the American Conservative tradition.

Highly recommend this podcast on Selma, AL, the civil rights movement, and the murder of white minister James Reeb. It testifies to how forcefully and violently some people have fought (and will fight) to protect white supremacy in America. npr.org/podcasts/51034…
One moment in Episode 2 stood out to me. When a group of white men in Selma were arrested for the murder of Reeb, the county's leading white men bailed the murderers out of jail and began raising funds for their defense. Note how they justified it...
“It is the duty of every white citizen to see that those white citizens have legal help. Selma is fighting almost alone, but Selma is not fighting for itself alone, it is fighting for everything that stands for decency and Western Civilization.”

Are BTS about to become America's "New Sweethearts?" If so, what that might mean.

A [LONG AF] THREAD.
PART I - INTRODUCTION
Following the Grammys (and an annoying toothache), I suddenly felt there was a shift in how Americans saw BTS as artists and as people. A *big* shift. After Sunday, there's a collective adoration in the American atmosphere.

I saw George Takei speak last night about his life and career.
A life that has seen Japanese internment camps, the violence that accompanied the civil rights era, the struggle for LGBT recognition and basic dignities.
And a career that saw him offered roles as humiliating stereotypes and having to keep his most important relationships a secret to protect it.

(1) #PhotoThread: 2018 Midterms - High Energy Trump Rallies!

Below: Recent #TrumpRally in Washington, Michigan.

#MAGA #Midterms #KeepDiggingDemocrats
(2) Covering Trump rallies live always creates a dilemma for me: High quality photos after the event, or lower quality photos during it?

As an #entrepreneur (which makes #America great) I found a solution: A running thread for ALL rallies.

Washington, MI:
(3) Tonight's rally is in Elkhart, IN, right after the primary which saw #BraunForIndiana win the nomination for the Senate race in November.

Signs of #HighEnergy momentum with a big overflow crowd before the rally - venue only holds 7,300.

It's going to be like this all year

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
