Juneteenth Special: Historian Clint Smith on Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America

A day for the history books: the President of the United States invokes "white genocide," while the Vice President highlights "great replacement" theory, both staples of racist right-wing extremism.

The questions I asked in October have become more urgent to think about. Start thinking about them. prospect.org/politics/202...

The mighty jd Vance went to Rome to see the pope…

This piece took over my life for a few months; it’s vital and complex, please do risk some time on it!

We're live in 15 minutes. Talking about the ICE's disappearance of YET ANOTHER Palestinian student and Nayib Bukele's defiance of the Supreme Court. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVWr...

I’m on CBC’s Front Burner pod today with Jeet Heer, talking about the history and current moment of Canada nationalism — and what we might do with it. www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

This is a DEI hire, by the way.

At the risk of being a parody of myself I think the roots to the "new" misogyny lie in the theology of slavery and the rationalization of mass rape for centuries by people who thought of themselves as the most devout people in the country www.liberalcurrents.com/guys-win-and...

"As you look back, it clearly is a key moment in American history as well." Five years ago today, the NBA suspended its season because of COVID-19. Baxter Holmes and Tim MacMahon look back at the league's shutdown and how it changed sports forever.

Sarah Pinsker’s novel A SONG FOR A NEW DAY won the Nebula Award in 2020 … maybe because the story includes a pandemic that forces everyone to stay in their homes? my review: bit.ly/4kHRMKo

Every episode of Netflix's Adolescence was filmed in one take. And that's not even the most impressive part of this relentless, astonishingly acted examination of a British teen accused of a terrible crime. My review:

I wrote all about the life of Stephen Miller for the new issue of @thenation.com. The world that produced him is uncannily familiar to me, a fellow PMC millennial Reform Jew from a blue enclave. He is not typical of his background, but nonetheless he was enabled by it.

Those studies exist, both in the US and worldwide. Here's a discussion of a famous one done after WWII. www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/...

Indignity Morning Podcast No. 437: He's Wayne Gretzky. It's not just that he has an unseemly friendship, it's that his status as a public figure was used against Canada. www.indignity.net/indignity-mo...

Tuesday night at 7pm ET, @radiofreetom.bsky.social will be our guest on Strategy Session LIVE with hosts @therickwilson.bsky.social , @stuartpstevens.bsky.social & @joetrippi.bsky.social to unpack one of the grimmest days in US diplomacy.

I wrote a paper on the 1920s KKK in undergrad, and I have been thinking about it a lot lately. This is history that most people today don’t know, but which is super-relevant today. Please read!

Attention Chicago: Next Sat., March 1st at 2:30 pm, I will be leading a post-screening discussion of Satyajit Ray's indescribably beautiful debut film Pather Panchali as part of the Filmspotting film festival. Tickets (but not many!) are still available here: www.siskelfilmcenter.org/pather-panch...

In looking at the rage directed at team owner Miriam Adelson over the Luka trade, are we just amusing ourselves to death or is this kind of anger, directed at one our worst oligarchs, meaningful? www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This conversation is better than the column off of it that's coming out later today.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Important thing to remember here is fuck Harrison Butker

I remind my fellow US American friends that here in Brazil there are no tuitions in public (either federal or state) universities both for undergrad and graduate studies and that not even Bolsonaro managed to freeze federal funding on research. #academicsky

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

Constitutional experts are horrified by Trump's blatant disregard for the law. But three Republicans we met at a Waffle House outside Cincinnati have a very different view.

A reminder: “Is This Democracy” is coming back! Join us for a big-picture perspective on the ongoing struggle over American democracy as we are entering the new Trump regime. Follow us @isthisdemocracypod.bsky.social and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. A new episode will be out Friday.

Back with @charleswatts.bsky.social on Inside Arsenal: Extra Time I don’t usually get too invested in a specific player but given the news out of Napoli, Arsenal simply have to take a big swing at Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The summer market might not throw up a better chance. youtu.be/2cPg4vUM3JY?...

One of the best things about classic Simpsons is the way it does not romanticize the white working class and lower middle class of the ‘90s lol

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO

This week’s column is about Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis Skelly. History shows that Arsenal tend to mould their brightest academy talents into the positions with the most obvious gaps in the first team. Arteta’s suggestion that Nwaneri could be a 9 a very interesting development in that direction 👇🏻

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:

A big volume of Yarvin's ramblings has been on the top shelf of my local used book store for a while now. It's as thick as a dictionary. I haven't been interested enough to check the price or leaf through it I figure @iwriteok.bsky.social said it all on Behind the Bastards
