As an educator, I so greatly appreciate this inquiry.

Some thoughts: 1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1. 2. History professors are qualified nominators. 3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence. 4. He would be so mad.

Seems someone might want to make a scene tomorrow... With a Trump visit to Clive, IA (Des Moines Metro area) tomorrow also, anyone hearing anything about this also? #ICE

I had the privilege to meet Dean William Thomas years ago (many of our research topics overlapped) while he was the history department chair at UNL. I am sure historians/educators will find his team's U.S. legal history OER to be innovative & valuable. teachinglegalhistory.unl.edu/s/oer/page/h...

This is just so deeply troubling... www.axios.com/2025/07/23/o...

To be fair, this is the marketing/sponsorship model in almost everything anymore regardless of market (although certainly true in pro sports and perhaps, most visibly). Essentially, 1. Do bad shit. 2. Rehab image/project values via sponsorship. 3. Repeat.

I have to take issue with this headline! The tragic death of Samuele Privitera is the headline. Rafferty is not important here. #RIP Tragedy at Giro Valle d’Aosta as Rafferty’s team mate passes away after crash www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/...

Celebrate it! Embrace it! Wear it as a badge of honor and respect!

In 1894 the League of American Wheelmen officially excluded Black cyclists. In 1886 the Detroit Ramblers Bicycle Club took this photo with a Black cyclist front and center. Were they making a statement?
