Helen!!!! Great to “see” you and this looks fantastic—thanks!

Am thinking about historians who write about ways folks in the past have imagined the future. Published or work in progress — is that a thing out there?

Hey, for any particular thing you're furious about, one good way to channel that energy until April 1 is to do some phone banking to help Judge Susan Crawford beat the Trump henchman that Elon Musk has spent about $18 million to put on the WI Supreme Court

Delighted to convene a new series at Resonance: The Journal of Sound and Culture (UC Press), where I’m founding associate editor. Articles written by the giant national team who collaborates to research sound history through the Library of Congress RPTF. online.ucpress.edu/res/article/...

Wisconsin: Early voting starts today. Please vote for Susan Crawford for State Supreme Court.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Crafting a Better World - Tatter A Virtual Panel with Diana Weymar, Sara Trail, and Jayna Zweiman

This seems like it would be of interest to #DHmakes folks! tatter.org/events/craft...

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world:

1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control

2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research

3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest”

All three are under threat.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
