I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

First teaching day of the semester!

(12 y.o. made me take the pic diagonally—then she complained I “didn’t smile”)

Periodic reminder that if someone is hateful and mentally ill, it is not their mental illness that makes them hateful. And calling hateful people “insane” and “psychotic” because they are hateful is ignorant behavior on your part.

Green highway sign reads: Cuba village limits elev 6905. Surrounding ground is dry scrub. Subway sandwich ad billboard in the background

I went to Cuba yesterday.

Just read, re: Iran, that intelligence agencies assumed that an act of war combined with domestic challenges and protest movements would provoke civil unrest and lead to regime change.

Golly gee whiz where have I heard that before? Oh right. The Bay of Pigs.

Mi querida hermana from another mama has arrived at Bluesky! You want to follow her, trust me!

Latin American history! African diaspora! Emancipation! Colombia! Lots of other great interesting stuff!

Thank you so much, dear! I have high hopes!

Happy 85th birthday, Daddy! 💙

Such an excellent thread. Organizing absolutely requires nuanced conversation and open criticism. What it does NOT need is dismissive derision and aloof mocking of earnest if imperfect efforts.

Caregiving can test you, body and soul. It can also unlock a new sense of self Helping a sick family member over months or years can be an enormous strain. It can also disrupt your identity. Psychologists say embracing this change can open up new ways for caregivers to cope.

“[Family caregiving can] turn you into someone you don't even recognize. Caregivers say it scrambles old habits and patterns, rearranges intimate relationships, and forces you to confront your limits. It can excavate and reorganize the soul...”

Didn’t realize what monstrosity I had paid for until like 10 minutes later when it was cooled down enough to drink and I was long gone from Dunkin. Kept thinking the car smelled like coffee, though. Much confusion.

Right? I mean: super teeny tiny thing, but…!

I mean. I’m completely fine, all things considered. It just felt kind of like a small it’s raining frogs moment.

It feels wrong to post about personal matters these days, but this is just too much a tiny little token of how *everything* is completely fucked right now: I ordered a mint tea in the Dunkin drive thru and I got a cup of black coffee with a mint tea bag floating in it.

Ouuuuuuuuchhhhh!

This was run-of-the-mill 6 y.o. imaginary friend territory and the post totally jokey!

No no! Totally jokey! No worries!

A black and white portrait of Emma Goldman, seated, with a large book in one hand on her lap and her other hand up by her cheek. She has a stern, severe look on her face.

I wish all that money and energy around corporate DEI had been funneled into labor organizing, strike funds, and worker education instead; that’s how you actually change a workplace

They’re going to “assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants...” If RFK and his woo ghouls take away our psych meds I’m raising an army of the mad and we’re gonna eat them.

Can we chat soon? We’re overdue for a phone call!

Thank you so much, Melanie!

Queen of this @drsarahmac.bsky.social, any suggestions?

Who is blending memoir and/or their genealogy with “traditional”historical scholarship in exciting ways right now?

(Saw an amazing talk by Tomiko Brown-Nagin recently…)

I just started reading my copy and I’m already enthralled! Congrats on the book’s success!

No, I’m not going to abandon important communities I have there.
