Gracias por su reseña tan detallada y amable, Norberto!

"Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill / Shall come against him"

“God bless America” and then stating as many countries in the Western Hemisphere as he could.

The kids are alright...now if only I could say the same thing about their country... www.rgj.com/story/news/l...

Episode 5 of my audiodocumentary on the Cuban Missile Crisis is live! In this episode, Dustin Walcher and I *finally* get around to discussing the crisis itself, yay! Please share and give it a listen! #history 🗃️ @shafrhistorians.bsky.social soundcloud.com/historiaspod...

So excited/giddy to return to my hometown to share The Fate of the Americas at the Tucson Festival of Books! Can't believe I'll be at the same event as Salman Rushdie, TJ Klune, Yuyi Morales, @exlarson.bsky.social, @alixeharrow.bsky.social, + more! (1/2) tucsonfestivalofbooks.org?id=676&utm_s...

You’ll be glad you took a few minutes to read Texas Judge Fred Biery’s decision: “In under 500 Words, a Judge Weaponized [wit & wisdom, concision & incision—and feeling—not to mention CONSTITUTIONALISM] to Free the Child Detained by ICE” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Today is the 178th anniversary of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, formally ending the Mexican-American War, which dramatically enlarged the US, propelled the nation toward Civil War, & was a conflict U.S. Grant described as "One of the most unjust (wars) ever waged"🗃️... www.cfr.org/articles/twe...

I can't stop thinking about this. As a society, we talk a big game about caring about sexual violence and saying how awful it is, but in practice, y'all, we do not give a shit. The files, in general, make this clear. Electing an assaulter repeatedly shows this. And then THIS. My god.

The first journal review of my book is out! I'm honored to have one of the top historians of Cuba, @mjbusta.bsky.social, write such a thoughtful and generous review. He did an amazing job capturing the main arguments and thrust of the story. #History 🗃️

Thanks for reading--hope you enjoy it!!

One of the best AI critiques I’ve seen read.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai/...

📸 Several local businesses and hundreds of students across the area took part in the nationwide “ICE Out” general strike against the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration. Students from at least 15 Washoe County schools attended the walkouts. Report: thisisreno.com/2026/01/unpr...

Book 4 of 2026! This book was incredibly helpful and actually fun to read! Between devouring this (and re-watching all of "Younger" 😍), I now feel a lot closer to understanding the world of trade publishing. Thanks, @katemckean.bsky.social!

So proud of Reno students!!

I never, ever want to hear again from certain quarters about a free speech crisis on campus. I would accept apologies for being useful idiots.

My post-AHA @uncpress.bsky.social book order came in! Can’t wait to read these!! (Photo on my office carpet because my desk is too full of random stuff 🤪) #History

@draftingthepast.bsky.social has the best swag!! Thanks again to @katecarp.bsky.social for the great conversation and beautiful mug. And for those of you who may have missed our convo, you can check it out here: draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis...

So Qatar will manage Venezuela's oil revenue, huh? 🤦‍♀️ www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

100%

Today is the official opening day of the photography exhibit that I participated in at the Lilley Museum of Art at UNR! Stephanie Gibson and her team did an amazing job printing, mounting, and exhibiting some of the beautiful photos that Prensa Latina provided me for my book. (1/2) 🗃️

...and if it's the same "prison" or detention center in Texas where ICE has been sending people, there isn't enough food, and everyone is crying and screaming, and people can't get their medications, and no one can get in to help them. A FIVE YEAR OLD.

It isn't just Bovino. This is the same playbook we've seen in Portland and Chicago: ICE comes in, hurts people, generates outcry, pulls out again and heads somewhere they can pick on people who are less organized and less angry.

"I really wish this wasn’t happening, but it's nice to see so many people are willing to come out here and freeze our butts off to show people we’ve got their backs" - Julia, who works at a business nearby and didn't share her last name because she doesn't want to be targeted by ICE.

I really enjoyed sharing some of my 🔥 takes on current events and the history of US-Latin American relations with Andrej! Give it a listen (and don't report me to the State Department 🫣...)

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Book 3 of 3026! Can’t wait to discuss this beautiful, touching book with students in my Cold War class. Also very excited that its brilliant author, Alexis Peri, who will be joining us virtually! 🗃️ #History

Vigil held in downtown Reno for #AlexPretti, who was killed by #ICE today. Photos: @marctiar

"it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice"

Historian of fascism here! A citizen was murdered today by a wannabe fascist regime!

Thank you to everyone who worked hard to preserve this video. It shows ICE murdered Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse. Watch, save, and share. 💔

The courage of the people in the streets of Minneapolis and the cowardice of a political opposition that has no leader willing to join them, in that city and across this country, is awe-inspiring in every possible sense of the term

US is considering replicating the naval blockade part of its Venezuela strategy but against Cuba; the island country produces almost no oil of its own and solar panel transition is still tiny fraction of consumption. Also, truck transportation of food and water 🗝️ www.reuters.com/business/ene...

“The lack of humanity at every step of this process of what the govn’t has been doing & how they have been unlawfully detaining people, incl. toddlers..it’s truly unimaginable..& yet this is where we find ourselves. There has to be an end to this type of cruelty.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The next episode of our SECOLAS audiodocumentary on the Cuban Missile Crisis is live! In this episode, Dustin Walcher and I dive into the Bay of Pigs Invasion, speaking with experts including... (1/2)🗃️ soundcloud.com/historiaspod...

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

The phrase “arrested four children” is so gut-churningly evil

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

I just fucking lost it. This picture man, with his cute little hat. The fuck man

Heartbreaking cruelty visited upon children in our name

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This episode had so much helpful advice about book promotion. A few bits I would add from my recent experience: 1. Pay attention to what other authors do and take notes! I've been copying what I saw my friends doing! (1/3) 🗃️

Relevant for Latin America, too ⬇️

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

I had a great time--looking forward to hearing the rest of the podcast!
