I just watched a documentary on BBC Select and had to write a blog post about one particular image that we're introduced to in the piece.

What does this tell us about conflict imagery?

This grist mill, near Vineland, Ontario, helped feed British troops in the area during the War of 1812. Go check it out at the Ball's Falls Conservation Area!

Another must-read from the desk of @thejauntycrow.bsky.social!
open.substack.com/pub/thejaunt...
The Visual and Rhetorical Cruelty of Trump's Immigration Policy
President Donald Trump’s immigration policies thrive on spectacle, both in public statements and in imagery—and that imagery is the visual language of cruelty.

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.
Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny

In a generation, when young historians ask you how you handled this moment, or what you did within this era, will you have to lie to them to have the appearance of being on the right side of history? I ask myself this question often to keep my mind clear in times of bitterness and strife.
