This gripping yet matter of fact report from Kyiv-base @monthly correspondent Tamar Jacoby about life under bombardment by Russia’s new jet-powered Banderol drones reminds me of George Orwell’s dispatches during the the blitz of London. https://t.co/0fKsh42RGi

Imagine you hear a speech in which a ruler boasts that he has secured the borders, imposed tariffs, purged the civil service of corruption, eliminated Marxism, and protected Christianity. Any guesses who it could be?

Very smart take on the deficit problem Trump is ignoring and the Clintonian solution Dems should not be ignoring from @robshapiro in @monthly https://t.co/VEw3K63LYA

A college degree is costly, to both students and taxpayers. The Washington @Monthly college rankings has the only list that shows which institutions provide good value to both.

Nonstop attacks by Russian jet-powered drones are emptying supermarket shelves and terrorizing Ukrainian civilians.

Fairfield University's @rich_greenwald explains how the tidal wave of disappearing colleges will reengineer America’s class system.

[Watson School at Brown @Watson_School]

A recent @monthly opinion piece includes a mention of research by @John_N_Friedman showing that children from families in the top 1% of the income distribution are more than twice as likely to attend an Ivy Plus institution.

Comparing Trump to Hitler is considered facile, a trivialization of genocide. But their rises to power are frighteningly similar.

Socialist and left populists have argued that a Democratic big tent should include figures like Hasan Piker. But the Democrats’ best coalition builder of the last 60 years, Barack Obama, had a different strategy.

My latest for @monthly, in which I explore the difference between the Obama/Dean big tent strategy and the Platner/Piker big tent strategy

I was lucky to grow up in a rural college town, and honored to write about rural colleges like the one keeping my hometown afloat for the @monthly's College Guide.

The Last Man Comes Full Circle
From Allan Bloom’s lecture halls to the

Iraq War’s intellectual wreckage, a memoir of how a neoconservative movement insider became a dissenter.

This is excellent.

I look at Fukuyama: The Last Man Comes Full Circle https://t.co/vxuGPfrndE

[Matthew Cooper @mattizcoop]

If you look up best rural colleges in a search engine, you get names like Bowdoin and Oberlin, elite schools that happen to be in rural areas. @gillenTmartin sets a rich tableau of the rural schools that are best for rural students and rural communities.

[Washington Monthly @monthly]

In 1989, @JacobHeilbrunn delivered copies of "The End of History?" to a DC newsstand — where it outsold the pornography. Now he reviews Fukuyama's memoir and explains how the neocons' favorite thinker became their most clear-eyed apostate.
