"The Declaration’s significance extends far beyond the aims of the American Revolution or an expression of American nationalism," writes Robin D.G. Kelley in Issue No. 11. hammerandhope.org/article/robi...

Let's go Bosnia!! 🇧🇦

A great deal ($12.22) for anyone who is interested in my book that came out last month. And a great deal for any other SUP titles!

stopping research will not, in fact, do anything at all for "the classroom" creating tenure-line faculty positions, reducing class sizes, and funding libraries will each do a lot, though

@ceu-press.bsky.social shared this new book on their Instagram this morning. 😍

Violent Interests examines processes of capital accumulation in the Eastern Mediterranean & the dynamic relationships of Beiruti entrepreneurs with centers of capital in Western Europe to reveal the inner workings of capitalism on local, regional, imperial, & global scales https://ow.ly/jXmP50Zc6RE

The total cost of the Iran war and the reparations to Iran ($375B) would cover California High Speed Rail from Anaheim to San Francisco (via Los Angeles Union Station) three times ($125Bx3).

We are hosting a "Comment-a-thon" Zoom workshop with Dr. Elizabeth Ginexi, former NIH Scientific Program Official. New OMB federal rule change would severely affect federal grant process. Written comments from UC faculty can still stop its adoption! Join us! members.cucfa.org/omb-comment-...

The Berlin Social Science Center (@wzb.bsky.social) is looking for a new director for the study of international relations. The director will establish and lead a new research research department. I am happy to chat with interested candidates. www.wzb.eu/en/jobs/dire...

My heat pump inverter A/Cs use as much electricity as three old-style lightbulbs. They can be powered by a single, standard, home solar panel. And guess what? They heat in the winter without producing air pollution that kills 11 000 Serbians every year.

New Guns of Brixton lyrics just dropped.

As the ceasefire with Iran is in the air, on the other end - imperial aggression. I fear it will not get nearly as much attention as Notre Dame. Rashk-e Jenan’s destruction got none. Heartbreaking, reminds me of the shelling of Dubrovnik. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

“This is bigger than birds. A protected wetland belongs to everyone. It is not an asset a government can sell to a foreign billionaire in the dark.”

this is legitimately one of my favorite posts of all time

Knicks team are incredible, sweet people who deserved their wins. Knicks fans violence + celebrity glazing that’s happening is just the worst. Really ugly way to approach sports.

This year, FAs successfully defended trans care, HIV research, and community health programs at the UC from feds' illegal attacks. Yet, political interference in higher ed continues, shuttering programs and censoring what we teach. As we celebrate Pride, we must remember that the fight continues.

Peak Yugoslav shopping.

We want preemption!!! (and crossing gates).

Other interesting results in latest LA count: —Mayor: Bass 34.2%, Raman 29.0%, Pratt, 25.5% —Controller: Kenneth Mejia now at a 63% —Sheriff: Luna 44%, Villanueva 22%, Strong 15% —Council: Eunisses Hernandez at 58%, Hugo Soto-Martinez at 68%, Traci Park at 60%.

Nithya Raman took 40% of the votes in today's drop & has overtaken Spencer Pratt for the second spot. She's now up close to half a point. Bass: +15,691 (32.81%) Raman: +19,096 (39.93%) Pratt: +8,489 (17.75%) Pretty safe to say Raman has unlocked a spot in the runoff.

120 years ago, Belgrade police arrested two “grannies”, Ana and Marija, for being drunk with rakia and “embracing” on the fields of Vračar outside the city. The report of their arrest was published in the daily Pravda (16.8.1906, p. 3) Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 #QueerHistory #Balkans #Serbia

“As the annual Pride parade weaved its way through Durham… the rainbow flags were almost matched in number by trade union banners, as miners, postal workers, and train drivers swelled the parade’s ranks in solidarity, making it the biggest in Durham Pride’s history.” Solidarity is our strength. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

History vibes and "uncritical fabulations." Scholars analyzed 1,000 LLM responses to queries about the Holocaust, confirming in great detail what many feel upon reading suspected AI slop. A brilliant research project digitalmemorydialogues.com/editions/dia...

Papazjanija reči bez smisla. Ajde do glupog teorisanja nego materijalnih grešaka. Nema šanse da republikanac bude guverner Kal. ili gradonačelnik LAja. Prat se neće ni kvalifikovati za izbore. “Vouk” kandidati bukvalno osvojili dve trećine glasova. Milić lupa gluposti iz neznanja.

Massive protests right now in Albania over Kushner-aligned firm’s plans to build on protected coastline. The rapid build up of the country’s coast, one of the last relatively untouched parts of the northern Mediterranean, has had profound effects on cost of living and environment.

Dashboard updated for today's drop. Raman was +20 over Pratt, well above what she needed. Projection now has her beating Pratt in the final score by ~2 points.

What a game. Knicks and Spurs playing like basketball is meant to be played. Neutrals heaven.

USC part-time, adjunct and full-time non-tenure-track faculty have vote to unionize -- forming one of the largest private campus faculty unions in the U.S. But USC is challenging the result, asking the National Labor Relations Board to review the vote. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Reminder as always, Los Angeles late ballots are left ballots – the sealed ballots turned in at drop boxes in the last three days of the election. Younger and more progressive voters overwhelmingly turn in their ballots this way (myself included).

at this point just rooting for Jalen Brunson to make it to the end of the game

Rough take at these election results is that the NIMBY coalition between working class and landlords is winning in California. Left response to this cannot be “abundant housing” model. Reads as corruption+gentrification. How do we create a left YIMBY platform that works for working people?

It gets a little more wild each time they say it. So if every single Black person votes one way, and every single white person votes the opposite way, every election, that's not even RELEVANT to whether voting is "racially polarized"—as long as this durable disagreement is organized into 'parties.'

This series looks so great. Balkanists, send them your stuff!

My excitement for this book cannot be contained!!! 😃🦄👻🪅🕺🏼🤩

Subhed from the NYT article on CSU adoption of ChatGPT: “California’s public universities spent $16.9 million on A.I. during a financial crisis, and the result has been chaos.” Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/m...

Guilty.

#OtD 31 May 1921 the Tulsa racist massacre took place leaving 300 dead and 10k homeless after a fake allegation of a Black boy attacking a white woman was used to stir up white supremacist violence.

Incredible game, well deserved win by the Spurs. So much heart.

As of this morning, @thenewschool.bsky.social is de facto replacing its History department with a “Center for the American Experience,” which is funded by private and undisclosed donors. The New School has been New Colleged, and there’s no GOP to blame here. Our anti-fascist identity is over.

Hey labor comrades, CUCFA is looking to hire a part-time field organizer for the Bay Area region: unionjobs.com/listing/3062.... Feel free to share in yr networks!

A vote for Rae Huang is a vote for Spencer Pratt.

“Central to LaRouche’s management of his cult was the idea that they constituted a political elite that would oversee the creation of a new golden age, if they could overcome the evil “counter-elite”— in this case, those inspired by Marcuse, Adorno, and other members of the Frankfurt School.”

Airbnb is the biggest funder of a PAC spending $1,000,000 to keep Karen Bass in office. Right there in the fine print.  Bass delivers the policy Airbnb wants. Airbnb spends millions to elect Bass. Angelenos pay higher rents. Pay-to-play. In the open. With receipts.
