Remembering keenly a NYT article in which this question was posed: "if men are not breadwinners, and they're not caregivers, what are they for!?!?!?"

Rick Steves is an American treasure. Just all-around, one of the absolute best of us.

This makes me physically ill. I suppose a particular type of American will hold their wedding at a plantation before honeymooning in Gaza.

the vice president is a klansman

People on 60 Minutes have pretty consistently been brave and willing to give a damn to the point of losing their job rather than sell out their soul and this email is sadly probably going to be a part of that

My brother in Christ, who cares? Any amount of "fraud," has got to be so miniscule as to be completely outweighed by the benefit of FEEDING THE MANY PEOPLE IN NEED

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Will someone in history or another social science share their teaching statement with me? I'm struggling a bit to wrap my mind around it as I write one for job apps.

Real Duterte-level BS here.

Honestly, the way these criminal wackadoos are behaving, they must know doomsday is coming. They're definitely treating this planet like they got another one to go to.

Exciting to hear as 1. Someone who is fascinated by all the moving parts of nyc governance shaping our lives and 2. As a parent of a public school student myself ##uha2025LA

Ansley's paper explored control of NYC schools and where city and school policy intersected when the city's mayor was in charge of the system

Brian's been working on a massive book project on the over 400 year history of Black folks in NYC, inclusive of Caribbean and African migrants, and how they've shaped the city, the U.S., and each other's cultures.

Brian Purnell and Ansley Erickson gave great presentations on their panel New Histories of New York #uha2025LA

#uha2025LA was a wonderful conference. Was so glad to see Latinx history centered in a non-ethnic studies conference setting. Many kudos to @aksandovalstrausz.bsky.social Daniela Sheinin and the programming and local arrangements committees for their amazing work!

The toxic behavior I'm always here for

Bumping this

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

With the solemn acknowledgment that the world is indeed on fire, would anyone have a good spreadsheet template for tracking job and post-doc applications?

We're not free until we're all free. These people are a joke.

I'm so embarrassed to still be a registered Democrat.

I joked a few weeks ago that Columbia’s initial concessions meant that Trump had acquired a university. I do not want to have been right. But…

Although this letter is not an official statement by the Columbia History Department, it was signed by 41 members of the department.

Letter signed by members of the Columbia History Department urging resistance to the Trump Administration's efforts to dictate university policy.

"Should this control be realized, here or elsewhere, it would make any real historical scholarship, teaching, and intellectual community impossible."

Dems stood by and did nothing while a Black man was forcibly ejected from the chamber. What a fucking shock. Pathetic cowards.
