It's naive to think Trump would lock up his kith and kin.

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Parsability of a thread is good: multiple convos, like reader footnotes, plus ability to reshare specific insights.

I make this point all the time. As historians, we know nothing lasts forever. It’s a bit disorienting to live through the decline + fall of the American public research university (and it’s maddening that said decline has the causes it does) but history is about change—in all domains and directions

It was Joe Biden.

Was base language English? I'd assume more words would be needed in other languages to approximate base's nuances.

So deeply perverse that Miller expresses exactly the racism that some Americans expressed towards his great grandparents in 1924.

Just finished American Psycho last night, and it's worth remarking that when Ellis imagined who the idol of a murderous, soulless, psychopath might be, he picked Donald Trump.

As I think @calliope5431.bsky.social pointed out, Bateman is obsessed with Trump. His name prob comes up 50 times.

I was wondering why he was standing and then I got to the end and... I really like this dude.

Our photographer Alex Kormann captured the exact moment the presses stopped for the last time in Minneapolis, ending a 158 history of locally printed newspapers.

… and when it went “coed” in the 70s the plan was to only do so gradually “over the course of 10 years capping [women’s] enrollment at 35%” by 1980. Due to a lawsuit it was forced to go coed faster: by early to mid 70s it already had more than 35% women explore.lib.virginia.edu/exhibits/sho...

I'm a monster fan of his co-podcast The Rest is History

YouTube video by Library of Congress The House I Live In

A cool thing about "The House I Live In" is that its lyrics were written by Abel Meeropol, best known for (a) writing the lyrics for the anti-lynching song "Strange Fruit," recorded by Billie Holiday, and (b) adopting Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's orphaned sons.

That time Barbara Walters destroyed Trump. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

NYT headline from 1924 article about legislation that the slammed the door on poor immigrants from Europe to America's 'racial type'

A reminder that Miller's great grandfather arrived from Belarus, the third world America tried to shut out with its 1924 racist anti-immigrant legislation. See subhead on NYT article ...

Today in history, 1621: The governor of Plymouth colony confiscates cards, toys and games to let newcomers know Christmas is a regular work day. The Pilgrims considered Christmas a pagan festival with “fooleries,” revelry and social disorder, but some newcomers objected. /1

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches:

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

They are so, so, so incompetent

Sir Harold Evans: Crusading editor who exposed Thalidomide impact dies aged 92 The British-American journalist, publisher and author was best-known for his campaigns against injustice.

Old news? Often, powerful people just claim the horse you're beating is dead because they want you to move on. Under Harold Evans, the Sunday Times covered Thalidomide for years before anyone else realized the importance of the story. www.bbc.com/news/uk-5427...
