A special moment for Joni Mitchell's Blue 🎵

We were delighted to receive this photo of Joni Mitchell with Lloyd Whitesell's recent addition to the Oxford Keynote Series.

The book explores the lasting impact of Blue and how it has inspired listeners, performers, and scholars for over five decades.

"Trump didn't create MAGA. He got in front of it."

Don Kettl tells @markhamhislop.bsky.social that the Canada trade war reflects deeper forces explored in 'The Right-Wing Idea Factory'—resentment, culture wars, and distrust.

🏛️📚 oxford.ly/4xL8LSa
Why Trump And MAGA Are So Angry At Canada
Why has the Trump White House turned so much anger on Canada? Political scientist Donald Kettl says the answer goes much deeper than Donald Trump himself. Kettl, author of The Right-Wing Idea Factory, argues that MAGA is a grassroots movement rooted in years of anger at government, Congress, cultural change and what supporters see as a hostile political establishment. Trump did not invent that movement. He got in front of it, learned how to channel its anger and built a political strategy around conflict, punishment and sharply defined enemies. Canada has now become one of those enemies. Kettl explains why the breakdown in Canada-U.S. trade talks was followed by escalating attacks from Trump and senior administration officials, why Christian nationalism matters to MAGA’s political culture, and why Trump’s power depends so heavily on creating conflict and forcing the world into simple categories of good guys and bad guys. We also discuss Mark Carney’s refusal to play Trump’s political game, the role of Stephen Miller and other senior officials in shaping the administration, and Kettl’s warning that American politics may not simply return to its pre-Trump norms even after Trump is gone. Chapters 00:00 Why is the Trump White House attacking Canada? 01:10 MAGA came from the grassroots, not Trump 02:49 The anger goes well beyond economics 05:44 How deep MAGA runs in local institutions 08:19 Christian nationalism and political identity 12:20 Why Canada became a target after trade talks collapsed 13:32 Trump, Christian values and political aggression 15:23 Is Canada a political smokescreen? 16:15 Punishment and MAGA politics 19:54 Who shapes Trump inside the administration? 21:31 Why Carney’s response enrages Trump 25:19 Trump built his career on conflict 28:54 Why American politics may not go back #DonaldTrump #MAGA #CanadaUS #MarkCarney #TradeWar #USPolitics #CanadianPolitics #DonKettl
