Let us try to give a helping hand This I know and I'm sure That with love we all could understand This is our world, can't you see? Everybody wants to live and be free Instead of fussing and fighting Cheating backbiting Scandalizing and hating Yeah, we could have a Wonderful world, beautiful people

We have updated detentionreports.com. 229 separate reports for 229 ICE detention facilities.

A Chinese immigrant named Chaofeng Ge died in ICE custody. He was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind him in the “hog tie” position. Unexplained deaths in ICE detention have exploded since Kristi Noem became secretary of DHS.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago. She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media. All charges against her have been dropped. In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

Nth rabbithole.  I have great stuff on 19th-century taxation in Europe, seeking Latin American context. Has anyone written an overview of the transition from customs duties to more internal taxation? #skystorians 🗃️

I used to keep separate note files for individual pieces of history writing. Now I sometimes put notes about ALL of an author's writing into a single file. It's been fun, a longitudinal glimpse into someone's thinking. Feels like it honors their trajectory, too. #skystorians 🗃️

Reading about extensive Caribbean spy networks in the 1890s - heartening in a weird way to understand there was no prelapsarian time for freedom movements. Organizers have always been watched. 🗃️

Try to dictate 'emboldened.' you can't.

Dictation is how I discover modicum is pronounced MAHHDICUM not MOEDICUM?! 🥴 Errors include: moto come, mocha, emoticon

I didn't expect dictation to understand Ponceños, but I also didn't think the computer would bring Beyoncé into it

the throughline of the conservative culture war they're waging is simply this: women and children are property. that's it. everything else is downstream of that

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

It's another layer of national degradation and moral decline to see the political media treat child rape like just another horserace issue.

Just finished recording a great convo with Mila Burns about her book w/@uncpress.bsky.social for @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social! This book teaches us to think about Brazil as a regional powerhouse & shows its role in facilitating the coup against Allende. A tough & crucial read. Podcast coming soon!

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

my charming overtaxed word processing files quit every time I convert a footnote to an end note

“I didn't exactly panic, but here's what was going through my head,” Liz in Wisconsin, 43, who receives SNAP benefits for her and her adult daughter, explained. “We have to eat. This money will not last. What happens in December? What about January? Do I have to make this food last all winter?”

It's me, editing this chapter introduction again

each of them represents one of the five elements: Fire, Metal, Air, Water, and Anti-Trust.

New rabbit hole! Writing about supposedly "representative" legislative councils in small colonies? (Am I in...polisci territory?!) #skystorians 🗃️

The @nytimes.com is completely OUT OF TOUCH and I am so glad that we have @thecity.nyc, @hellgatenyc.com and more covering NYC politics. Thank GOD.

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

New rabbit hole! Could anyone tell me about doctors in rural England, ca. 1850-1910? 🗃️

Reminder that DOGE was a rounding error - did a ton of damage, saved little in the scope of the federal budget. Better understood as a mechanism for undermining the administrative state and pursuing ideological objectives than as a way of reducing federal spending.

From the authors of www.jstor.org/stable/45295..., a forthcoming book! 🗃️

Who could have foreseen theracket.news/p/this-isnt-...

and snared mini (ENSNARED MANY); dictation needs a coffee

Still looking!!

George Orwell’s Animal Crossing

Dictation keeps producing "merkey" instead of MURKY. What are we doing here, Apple

Alternative title for this book that I'm working on is definitely "95,000 rabbit holes" #skystorians 🗃️🥴

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here. The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration. How? 1/

BREAKING: Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, delivers the most scathing legal rebuke of the Trump era, ruling that Trump and his cabinet illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation to "strike fear" into First Amendment protesters. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dictation also does not know the word ENTENTE and not for lack of trying

Pat Bagley, Salt Lake Tribune

State Dept's revoking visa of Colombia's president because he said in Spanish "That's why from here, from New York I ask all the soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity." www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Unlawfully detained for 2+ months in an Eswatini prison with no charge, no counsel.

And a related query - writing about famous criminals or street legends (excluding murderers), 1860-1910? 🗃️

hey, void! Historiography on Gilded Age frauds and tricksters?
