Julius Caesar introduced a coin with his name, image, and the title DICT PERPETVO; dictator for life. It was created in February of 44 B.C. and stopped being minted in March of 44 B.C., for some reason.

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

After a decade as a Yale hospital janitor, she is now a doctor there By Sydney Page “I still can’t believe it,” said Shay Taylor-Allen, who landed a residency at Yale New Haven Hospital, where she was born and spent most of her adult life on the cleaning staff. Gift link!

Look what just came in the mail! Unlike the half-assed "scholarship" that partisan law profs have been rushing out in an effort to undermine birthright citizenship, this book by @unlawfulentries.bsky.social was sixteen years in the making. And it shows. Get your copy. You're going to need it.

Absolutely thrilled to report that the Board of Governors at @uncpress.bsky.social have approved my book THE RACIALIZATION OF PRINT for publication by @oieahc.bsky.social. Forthcoming, early 2027.

I need the studio to go ahead and commit to at least 3 seasons right now

OMG YES

The ancient scrolls tell us that, in the Before Time, a president's admission that his administration had not considered the obvious likelihood of the war widening when they first attacked Iran would lead to immediate congressional hearings.

Lol. What a wild and totally unexpected incentive to do right by a group of people who you have wronged. I wonder what provoked the thought and hope this isn't a fear other CEOs are struggling with that similarly drives them to reconsider predatory behavior. Hahaha.

Interesting to think along the lines re: the US. American policymakers learned from the Vietnam War to restrict media access, to keep American death tolls low, & to never have a draft. They've made our endless wars easy to live with psychologically for a lot of (most?) Americans.

“Refusal” is such a key word here. There is a willful and culturally ego centric aspect to this.

This is so vital. AI — like the internet — benefits when we refuse to consider its materiality.

The United States voted against a United Nations resolution to formally recognize the trans-Atlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity.” Israel and Argentina also voted against the motion, which was adopted. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/w...

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

The Oberlin kids are all right. This letter is brilliant. (And the alt text makes it perfectly readable. Thank Lori for that.)

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Book mail + found books today. It was a day of books.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

Awful: Stephen Miller is privately urging Texas lawmakers to restrict funding for the public education of undocumented kids. This has long been a right-wing dream: They want to get SCOTUS to reverse Plyler v Doe and further chip away at 14th Amendment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2081...

This is literally a plot point in WATCHMEN (2019) 😡

Way too on the nose.

On this day in 1942, the United States evicted Japanese Americans from their homes in Washington and forced them into internment camps.

Tom Rademacher, a teacher and editor, told me he organized a Zoom call for educators and education advocates in the months after Donald Trump was elected to discuss keeping kids safe from ICE. He intentionally did not record the call to protect attendees. Still, it was scraped and put online.

A deep and incredible thread on Filipino laborers, early US possession of California and its connection to Philippine independence.

These workers would play a critical role in the early farmworker movements that eventually led to the United Farm Workers, even as Latino workers supplanted the Filipinos in the movement.

In conclusion, the United States was actually too racist and too concerned about interracial sex to remain a colonial power.

The law itself granted the Philippines independence after ten years. In exchange, Filipinos would have to abide by the racist immigration quota system of the 1924 Immigration Act immediately. A whopping 50 immigrants from the Philippines a year were allowed into the United States.
