I like to show students the cover of this 1975 board game, which postulates a US-Israeli joint invasion of Iran, Iraq, and the Gulf. Says a lot about the culture of the era!
I can think of Eric Hobsbawm, Andy Bacevich, and Stephen Kotkin as all arguing for 1973 as a major turning point.

No, this cannot possibly be. I was told that we were not allowed to do large-scale, non-universal redistribution, because it was unaffordable, unfair, un-American, fraught with moral hazard, & fiscally irresponsible.
Oh, so that only applies to student loan debt relief? 🤔

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

Effective solutions depend on knowing exactly how things are going wrong, and I think clear structural analysis is the first step toward changing the direction rather than accepting it.

After a year in which Trump has bombed ...

It’s really gutting to read such a brief and horrific sentence that sums up what RFK Jr. did to the United States of America in the year 2025.
The United States was the gold standard for science and technology for decades, and there was never any reason that had to end.
Canadian officials are correct, and it’s truly a tragedy.

It is outrageous for a President who is tanking our economy here at home to suggest that the American taxpayer spend a fortune to “run” another country while doing nothing to make life better in America. I opposed the war in Iraq from the outset—and the parallels here are glaring.

It's also wild that this hasn't ended Trump's presidency immediately. We used to be a serious country, where things mattered. Or maybe we never were, & it's just the mask being fully ripped off. Hard to tell, frankly. Observationally equivalent.

A reminder, as Trump is illegally attacking other countries & musing about occupying & taking territory from them, of how mind-blowingly unserious the Paper of Record’s coverage of this has been in the last twelve months:
