A photo of a commemorative ground plaque in Lower Manhattan shows the various burial sites of New Amsterdam, later New York. It reads The African Burial Ground 1712-1794

Im simultaneously SOBBING and trolling the governor on Twitter.

ALL. FOUR. AMENDMENTS failed tonight. Louisiana I am SO PROUD.

Fuck Jeff Landry was the RESOUNDING message from the entire state

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

A copy of the proposed temporary restraining order submitted by the plaintiffs is shown. It has been handwritten over in blue ink. Certain words have been cut out. The ultimate text reads "TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65, and having reviewed Plaintiff-Petitioner's Proposed Order to Show Cause for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction, Plaintiff-Petitioner's supporting Memorandum of Law with attached declarations and exhibits, and any response thereto, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that: 1) Plaintiff-Petitioner's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is granted"

A copy of the second page of the proposed temporary restraining order submitted by the plaintiffs is shown. It has been handwritten over in blue ink. Certain words have been cut out. The ultimate text reads: "2) Defendants-Respondents are enjoined from detaining the Plaintiff-Petitioner pending further order of this Court; 3) Defendants-Respondents are enjoined from transferring the Plaintiff-Petitioner from the jurisdiction of this District pending further order of this Court; 4) Should Defendants-Respondents seek to detain Plaintiff-Petitioner on any asserted basis other than pursuing her removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a) (4) (C) pending the Court's decision on a preliminary injunction, Defendants-Respondents are ordered to provide sufficient advance notice to the Court and counsel, in order to enable Plaintiff-Petitioner an opportunity to be heard regarding whether any such asserted basis for detention constitutes a pretext for First Amendment retaliation; and 5) The bond requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c) is waived. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: March 25 New York, New York 2025 The Judge's Signature United States District Judge

Update in the case of Yunseo Chung, the green-card holder who the Trump admin is trying to deport for her protest activity: a few hours ago a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order barring ICE from arresting her.

Discovering Family Roots in Brooklyn Slavery (Gift Article) “Trace/s,” an exhibition at the Center for Brooklyn History, highlights the borough’s neglected story of slavery — and the Black genealogists helping to unearth it.

So grateful for the time I got to spend with Jenny Schuessler. She did a beautiful job capturing the essence of our new exhibition at @brooklynhistory, and centering the voices at the center of the story:

Tonight 🫶🏾 @bklynlibrary.bsky.social

Seriously considering making it an annual read if I can- it’s historical material I mostly know well but the way it’s written re-grounds you in the meaning, and also re-inspires you through the prose. It’s marvelous.

EVERYTHING is there, all laid out in the perfect words. It’s unthinkable how good that book is.

DAMN, Freedom Dreams by Robin DG Kelley just SEARS, don’t it?

I totally get why I was assigned it as an undergraduate student, but I am in SUCH a better position to sit with it now, almost twenty(!) years later.

was finally able to catch up on the recorded talks at the Belle da Costa Greene symposium at the Morgan held in late October. *wonderful* papers by @petrinajackson.bsky.social, @grubstreetwomen.bsky.social, @dominiquejl.bsky.social and others.

watch here:

I’ve gotten into a lovely routine of brewing up a mug of Teecino tea (a caffeine-free chicory-based coffee substitute) with oat milk and flavored coffee syrup (hot tip: add a sprinkle of salt) at night before bed. Highly recommend a cozy lil night latte.

CBH Discussion | Reflections on the Religious Poetry of Jupiter Hammon | Brooklyn Public Library Jupiter Hammon was born into slavery in 1711 on the Long Island estate of Henry Lloyd. In 1760 he became one of the earliest if not the very first African-American to be published when his poem, An Ev...

We're doing something a little bit different over at the Center for Brooklyn History, on 12/5. Poet and activist Jonathan Walton will be on hand to discuss America's first published Black poet, Jupiter Hammon, and his legacy in faith and poetry today. Join us! www.bklynlibrary.org/calendar/cbh...

So glad it wasn't worse- hope it heals quick!

NO EXCEPTIONS.

One of my longest-running and most meaningdul scholarly communities is the History of Education Society, and I'm thrilled to have a review up in their latest quarterly journal, reviewing a very useful volume on teaching public history. Have a read! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Did this at the beginning of this year, won’t ever look back. Easy to migrate your data, and it’s better in every way! (I’m the same user name over there, btw)

Flinging a heartfelt thanks to the very nice strangers who helped me after absolutely bodyslamming myself onto the train platform running to catch the 4 train.

I made the film screening! It was excellent! You were very nice to me! It was very embarrassing! Everything hurts!
