Nothing whatsoever unless the author was time traveling to let us know that things were better under FDR than the present regime.

Ok NYT wut does the second sentence have to do w/ the first

“The shooting of two National Guard members on Wednesday was not the first time there was violence near the White House.

During World War II, a stranger slipped into the White House to watch a movie with President Franklin D. Roosevelt.”

This David Mastio? The Hillsdale-educated guy who backed Trump, writing in your paper last Thanksgiving about why he was thankful for Trump? He couldn't vote for the smart, experienced Black lady? @kansascitystar.bsky.social, do better.

History says the Austro-Hungarian army was starving in 1918, but what does that actually mean? What was the effect of starvation on frontline soldiers? The Minnesota Experiment gives some answers, but few historians have attempted to analyse the effects of starvation. So I’m doing some science…

Long ago and far away, in a galaxy called graduate school, I wrote a paper on the use of Munich in political rhetoric. You know, like "the Munich of Morningside Heights." The attempt to force Ukraine to surrender is far worse; it bears no comparison. Dear Mango, You sir are no Neville Chamberlain.

The Czech ruling elites absolutely knew it was not a nation state, which is why there was early postwar violence, etc. Why the entire discussion of how many Germans to permit in the new state, blah, blah, blah. My big question is how much the Slovaks were in on the national "joke." 🥰

Nancy Wingfield @nmw1.bsky.social · 5d

PSA: Czechoslovakia was not a nation state, but a multinational state governed as a nation state. 🙄it's not even clear that the Czech Republic is a nation state. Ask the Moravians!🥰 End of rant. 😆🤣😆
