The closure of the Iowa State Historical Society archive in Iowa City is a travesty. And part of a now-decades-long campaign of resentment and retaliation by state government against Iowa City and the University of Iowa 🗃️

Marian Wilson Kimber: It’s painful to realize the people in charge of Iowa’s history apparently have no idea how history works. If they did, they'd know there is no way to predict what parts of the collection will be of interest 5, 20, or 100 years from now. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/10/10/t...

Stephen Wertheim's article, "How Neoliberalism Shaped the International System," (2019) said that Friedrich Hayek "theorized a system of rules without politics," prior to WWII. My impulse is to say we are there. However, these new trade wars & tariffs seem counter to Hayek's vision. Thoughts? 🗃️

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.
