I was recently interviewed by @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social for my book, Encountering Race in Albania. Check it out! newbooksnetwork.com/encountering...

Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.

Love the Internet Archive.

just like Ben Carson

NEW: When Biden nominated Scott Colom to a federal court, U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith used the Senate's "blue slip" tradition to block his nomination. Now, instead of a federal judgeship, Colom is aiming to unseat her in the Senate. @heatherharrison.bsky.social reports on his campaign launch:

tbh i'm deeply amused how we went from accusations of welfare queen stuff in the 70s/80s to this

exactly!

Oooh I love doing this too in my med humanities and social medicine courses

And when people read my book and ask how ideas of "West" and "white" are related, I'll just show them this...because if people are migrating then populations are increasing right???

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Imagine you gotta be really dedicated to the white community to want to meet with the third paragraph people

Breaking news: The White House will launch an aggressive review of Smithsonian exhibitions, collections and operations ahead of America’s 250th birthday celebrations next year.

Dr. Anna Willow is doing an exploratory research project to understand the impacts of policy changes on anthropologists and their field of study. She is seeking US-based anthropologists to participate in online interviews over the next several months. For more info, contact [email protected].

honestly I hate the whole framing that a woman choosing not to sleep with or go out with a man is “rejecting” him it makes it sound so active, like the default is to say yes when in actuality we all walk by hundreds of people every day that we’re not going to sleep with

Wow, ok this is loud: "Perfectionism perpetuates an endless state of striving. It’s an affliction of futility, an addiction to finding masochistic refuge in the familiar hell of feeling insufficient. It might not feel good, but it feels like home."

Just when I get excited about getting my inbox to 0, here comes another one...

A Russian missile killed a pregnant woman in the Ukrainian hospital where she was being treated. “We were waiting for a son and then in one minute, the ... Russians,” her husband Oleksandr said.

too real this morning

You know I've been recently wondering if apps like Google Maps have made this worse? That maybe people used to miss their exit and just find a way to turn around but now they have a voice that prompts them to hurriedly exit so people make more rash and often more stupid exit attempts...

And I immediately heard both of these, with distinct emphasis and tone, in my head as I read them 😂

Fighting antisemitism by increasing it, because this was never about antisemitism

I've done it too, often, and pride myself on it, only to receive...another email 😩

Thrilled to learn from DOJ's argument that the 14th Amendment applied to the "children of former slaves, not illegal immigrants, who didn't exist as a class yet" that modern firearms are not protected by the Second Amendment!

bringing the mississippi smoke and she don't want it!

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

Exactly, this is what I've been screaming for so long now--this attack on universities is such garbage

My older daughter was wearing a shirt this morning that read CULTURE, and my younger daughter, who's now learned how to read asked, "What is culture?" Finally, my anthropology moment has arrived!

1955: Whites-only water fountains 2025: Whites-only immigration.

what Tressie said...

Even screaming the alphabet at him would have been enough to arrest her. Calling him the n-word and then proudly going on to describe herself as a white supremicist is actual terrorism. But after that Kyle nonsense, we knew what it was. The bugles had been sounded.

reposting this to make sure I can save it cause wow (is there not a bookmark feature on bluesky???)

thinking of the n-word lady and all she'll do—media deal, n-word coin rug pull, apology tour, inspirational journey to space—by friday.

😩

i want to hear more things like this from others. i will say that i have recently incorporated in-class written essays and now more oral presentations and finals.

love

I want to see (and maybe teach) this movie asap!

Good morning, Bluesky.

can't wait to read!

NEW: State offices in Mississippi are closed to commemorate the men who died fighting the U.S. government to protect the institution of human slavery. The majority white Legislature once again killed a Black lawmakers' bill to end Confederate Memorial Day and replace it with Juneteenth Freedom Day.
