I have a new article on depression and critique out in Constellation - in case anyone needed more depression on their timelines! I discuss to what extent, and how, feelings of depression can be politicized and channeled into resistance.

Continually thankful for resources from @zinnedproject.bsky.social Teaching early American history (for the first time in my career)… the resources on the Indian Removal Act & Mexican-American War are fantastic!

The government literally wants to create thought crimes as a category. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
