According to our sources in Williamsport, the vehicles have arrived.

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks. lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0...

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far). We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone. Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

YES THAT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY WE DON'T USE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tomorrow at noon I will be speaking live with @johngmarks.com about the decision to remove a slavery exhibit at Independence Park in Philadelphia. Hope you can join us. #NationalParks open.substack.com/live-stream/...

When I was studying historical linguistics, one of the most mind-blowing things was just how often we had primary texts to research an extinct language because someone found a book at a library that nobody knew was there. Many libraries are so old and so big that we don't know what's in them.

David Graham, a day later: “Remember what yesterday’s attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol was like. Very soon, someone might try to convince you that it was different. Maybe someone already has.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

A sobering reminder, Blueskis.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

Having such an excellent time at #nwsa2025

I’m so excited to be presenting at #nwsa2025 this week!

Want to make sure this letter arrives at the right place.

Day 8 of President Trump’s shutdown: I’m alarmed that federal workers, including TSA agents and air traffic controllers, will miss their first full paycheck this Friday because of the President’s federal shutdown. This is no way to run a government. https://bit.ly/4o8GVKv

“I’m proud to be one of US… I’m ready to fight for US… the 🇺🇸 House of Representatives must be centered on US…” MEMPHIS Rep. @Justinjpearson’s campaign for Congress launch video👇🏽 (which mentions #MedicareForAll as a policy priority 🏆 )

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Oh yes, this is clearly now.

Senate Republicans just voted to shut down the government — blocking our bill to fund it responsibly, protect health care, and stop Trump from getting a blank check for his lawlessness. They’d rather please their Dear Leader than deliver for the American people. Shameful.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper is 200 today! @c19americanists.bsky.social @digblk.bsky.social @ccp-org.bsky.social @blkgrlpoet.bsky.social @profgabrielle.bsky.social @npr.org She’s just as fabulous, relevant, and fiery now as she was in C19! For a sample, see commonplace.online/article/vol-...

Something I’ve been thinking about: History as a profession has long relied on affiliation. Your university or museum pays your salary, and in return, you give time to edit journals, peer review articles, write book reviews, consult on exhibits, and volunteer for institutional support. 1/

New in PN: Dems need get serious about DC statehood. For real. "Republicans act like DC residents need to earn their political rights, something they supposedly have not yet done. But consider this: If DC were populated by white Republicans, would it have statehood by now? We all know the answer."

“Mr. Van Hollen saw a different lesson [from his role in the Abrego Garcia case]. ‘This finger in the wind stuff has got to end. We also need to stop deluding ourselves that the problem is all about messaging, or about volume, or style. We don’t just need to fight. We need to fight for something.’”

Woke up early ish and set up the table to mark up a draft Dog: no, only couch with me I guess we made up the draft on the couch then 🤷🏻‍♀️

SCOTUS has allowed ICE’s discriminatory raids in LA for the time being. While I am closely monitoring the situation, know that EVERYONE has the right to: ❗️Remain silent ❗️Refuse entry without a valid search warrant ❗️Speak with an attorney Protect yourself and your loved ones by knowing your rights.

I’m having visions of bachelorette parties on pedal bars getting stopped at military run checkpoints and it’s both terrifying and hilarious to imagine

My fav part of being the unofficial neighborhood babysitter is the imaginative questions that toddlers come up with and mostly answering with “wow that’s a big/ interesting/ cool question- let’s find out together”

Blessed to live in the state of Maryland

A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

Trump is invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, which authorizes him to seize control of the entire DC police department for a maximum of 30 days. This is insane stuff. D.C. is not in the grip of a crime wave. Crime has been falling for three years now. Violent crime is at a 30-year low.

Imagine being born in slavery and living up until 5 months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Anna Julia Cooper is one of my favorite people in history. She was born on August 10, 1858, and lived to the age of 105. I can't sum her up in a single post, but she was born 167yrs ago today

Volcanos and their impact on society- took it to fulfill a science requirement and loved it

Everything is terrible and yet the flowers still bloom and the dog still smiles and the sun should still come up tomorrow so let’s fight another day

Also space! When it’s hot out we love having people over in our backyard, but our house is small and cannot feasibly host a party the way we can in the yard. Also I’ve been intentionally shifting to potluck style- food is expensive!

The only explanation I have: Racism is one hell of a drug

I was going to post something very similar to this earlier today, and then I realized how irrationally optimistic it is. We're going to need something less New Deal and more Constitutional Convention. But first we're going to need to win a War of Independence. This is gonna suck so bad.
