Important new article from Tara Inniss www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Yes, she really is saying that rich people making lots of money is more important than children being raped.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Today I learned that my first book, SURVIVING SLAVERY IN THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN, has completely sold out of the paperback print run. (Print-on-demand copies should be available very soon.)

Thanks to everyone who ordered or read the book!

Large containers of sulfuric acid Epstein had delivered to his island after being tipped off may point to atrocities that prove too much for the public to handle. There are mentions of murder involving Trump and disposing of bodies in the files. Sulfuric acid takes care of dead bodies, incl bones.

now that's the power of a union

Looking forward to my first FEEGI conference this spring. Program here: feegi.org/uploads/3/5/...

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Pretty sure one was consulted, definitely was for the album

Seems like we are weeks away from universities touting "0 faculty members named in the Epstein files!" in their recruitment pitches. And in all seriousness, is anyone (Chronicle?) writing about all the academics who colluded and corresponded w/ Epstein in different ways?

Do you mean searching for a keyword while previewing a book? I just tried it with one of mine and it worked.

Imagine the courage it takes to assault children and then run back to your lifted truck away after they kick your ass.

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Congrats to @brookenewman.bsky.social on the publication of her fantastic THE CROWN'S SILENCE. I read an advance copy and it's a devastating analysis of the British crown's role in slavery and the slave trade.

In the midst of the violence, let’s allow ourselves to be inspired by the heroism that is on display here.

Right now, it is not an exaggeration to say, Minnesotans are putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Our president has taken this approach thehill.com/opinion/educ...

My fellow university presidents have displayed cowardice in their appeasement of Trump A Reagan-appointed judge called the Trump administration authoritarian for its mistreatment of students who expressed views the government opposes.

Just found it www.ms.now/opinion/will...

Thanks -- good to know

Have any university presidents spoken out against ICE?

There is far more outrage from tech leaders over a wealth tax than masked ICE agents terrorizing communities and executing civilians in the streets. Tells you what you need to know about the values of our industry.

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
