As a public service, I am reading Scott Beardsley’s book on higher education. Just as Beardsley sacrificed a lucrative career at McKinsey to take a $700k a year job as Dean of Darden on his way to the very sketchy appointment as UVA president, I paid $12 for the kindle edition of “Higher Calling.”

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Entering our Too Lazy to Manufacture Consent era

And adding a unit on the war on drugs and resource extraction to my spring syllabus….

The U.S. history of forced regime changes in other countries has never lead to democracy nor peace, but to civil war, dictatorship, corruption, violence, and death.

Apparently now we don’t even need lies about weapons of mass destruction to invade a country for their oil.

Good morning. You are waking up to the irony of a convicted felon president, who spent years avoiding his own criminal trials, capturing the president of a sovereign nation and holding him captive for criminal trials.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

As a historian of Latin America, I'm pretty sure the spelling is o-i-l, not d-r-u-g-s.

Two truths and a lie: US-sponsored regime change never ends well US-sponsored regime change is paid for by American taxpayers but brings them no benefits US-sponsored regime change promotes democracy

Absolutely horrifying and disgusting what the U.S. is doing in Venezuela. Naked imperialism.

There will be a panel dedicated to my new book at the ASA in San Juan with a group of lovely friends (who are also brilliant scholars)! @dukepress.bsky.social @ccberg.bsky.social

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

One of our exciting new books this month is "A Wide Net of Solidarity," by @annegarlandmahler.bsky.social, which shows how the Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas (LADLA) provides vital insight for social movements fighting racial and economic injustice today. buff.ly/Kn3Bk2m

The words guiding me into 2025 belong to the one and only Elizabeth Betita Martínez: "With all the struggles, remember to keep life sweet."

I just met Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls in an airport bathroom!

Last night I went to the exquisite restaurant Audrey in Nashville, and immediately recognized the work of Alabama artists Jimmie Lee Sudduth and Mose T. At 19, I drove to Sudduth’s house in Fayette. I had saved to buy one of his pieces, which is now in my house. His work hangs in the Smithsonian. 💙
