Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni. They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years. Unprecedented. (📸 Cradle Media)

Some arguments about archives are complete ouroboros. "I found writing, so writing is radical".....OK. Got it

This is devastating.

I cannot think with the HTML article. Need the PDF 🗃️

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

Missed this two weeks ago, but it looks great and you can just download the entire special issue with a click 🗃️

Excellent listening.

🗃️ #skystorians a plea to US historians and literary scholars: hoping to learn of a reading that considers the amalgam of expansionist popular literature, 1865-1900. Iinclusive of romanticized west novels or short stories(?) up to a more global turn (?) of yellow journalism. Hard stop 1900.

🗃️ #skystorians query - might anyone know US capital investment in sugar in Santa Clara (Cuba) and Trinidad and/or banana investment in Central America and Jamaica, 1880-1898? It's this prehistory that is hard to establish!

One more try here - does anyone know if USD was circulating widely in the Caribbean in the 1870s? Dominica had only irregular steamship commerce (mostly resale from Barbados and Martinique). But maybe it was a dominant currency, as most imported food was of US origin? Guesses welcome! 🗃️ #skystorians

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.” Conditions in a San Diego concentration camp, via message hurled out in a bottle.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Marimar Martinez is a hero. She was shot 5 times by ICE. The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire. He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”. DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her. Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

"we want to help" emails from ConEdison are so abusive 😭💸

Could anyone guess why a Roseau newspaper would offer a reward in DOLLARS rather than British pounds? Arson threat! 1872. 🗃️ #skystorians

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo

In the last 18 days alone: - Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this) - Two men died of cardiac-related issues - One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard - One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)

Last night, The Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59 signed on to the call for a Jan 23 shutdown. That brings total labor support to: the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28, and the MFE 59
