For 15 years, I’ve been studying 1960s civil rights protests with particular attention to how nonviolent and violent actions by activists & police influence media, elites, public opinion & voters. I'm thrilled some of that work was published last week. 1/

What explains mass education? In *Raised to Obey* @aspaglayan finds it wasn’t industrialization, democratic ideals or fighting illiteracy but rather “elites’ fear of masses” and a desire to train an obedient citizenry. Out this week and highly recommended!

With RFK nominated to head HHS, a good time to revisit his environmental legacy of killing off carbon-free nuclear power in NYC area and increasing fossil fuel usage and harmful air pollution.
Once again, like clockwork, less nuclear power means more fossil fuels, more air pollution, more climate change and more death. This is the environmental legacy of Robert F Kennedy, Riverkeeper, Andrew Cuomo and others fighting to close high performing nuclear power plants.
