Margaret Somers has a really moving chapter in her book Genealogies of Citizenship called Genealogies of Katrina that I think is an excellent companion read to any of the documentaries people are mentioning here

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

Fascism was bad in the 1930s and 40s. Could it be better this time?

Looking for reccs of historians that have written about their relationship to their source/subject explicitly. Have included @tricksterprince.bsky.social and Caroline Steedman re sourcework - any other? Not so much theory (I have a lot of that re emotion and positionality) but in practice. Thanks!

I miei concittadini armati - Limina | Rivista
Nel volume “Il braccio armato del potere” Di Giorgio affronta storie e idee per conoscere la polizia italiana
A great review of my colleague’s new history of policing in Italy. We have lots of work in the pipeline together, in English, but if you read Italian this is a good antipasto:

That would be amazing thank you! Last year we did Frank Shimer, this year What Another; what I appreciate about the work is not just the content (so important!) but the fact that the way that the writing is organized is very valuable as a model for helping students think about making arguments!

a transgender day of remembrance poster with three candles and a pink ribbon
Alt: A Transgender Day of Remembrance gif with three white candles and a pink-and-blue ribbon on a black background.
It's Trans Day of Remembrance, which can rightly be a very sad day due to its nature, and, at the moment with things appearing as bleak as they are, it feels like this year's is greyer. I don't have a solution to the present or future. But I do want to quickly remind you that the past is vibrant. 1/
