This is one of my favorites too - & my students have loved it.

Looking forward to this!

Ryan Coogler said part of his influence for making Sinners was a childhood love for the Disney movie “Luck of the Irish” and let me tell you…he is so real for that.

Marta and Sonnett friendly yapping at each other in a semifinal is the stuff NWSL dreams are made of.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Thank you to our volunteers. This victory is yours.

must win game for Nigeria here in a couple hours. personally I'd love to see a 4-2-3-1 instead of the 4-4-2 we played last time with Osimhen as a sole striker and our most creative players (Lookman, Iwobi, Chukwueze) secure to rampage forward in front of the double pivot (Onyeka, Ndidi)

I’d like government social media accounts and websites to share pertinent, expert information necessary for the public good. Just going to keep speaking my reasonable expectations into the ether.

“The kids are alright. The real problem might be older generations projecting their own racial anxieties onto them.” This is a must-read piece by two of the finest scholars of U.S. politics, @adambonica.bsky.social & @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

As I said, and wrote, before, young men in (Western) Europe are also more inclusive than previous generations of men. @roderikrekker.bsky.social is one of the scholars with the receipts. 👇

How do I get my own U.S. R&D thoughtcrime mug, @jeremymberg.bsky.social?

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

I interviewed ferociously brilliant filmmaker Mira Nair, a.k.a Zohran Mamdani’s mother, about how her voice and vision have shaped a man who sees a better way forward for all of us. SPOILER ALERT: Love matters. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

Oh the feeling of reading a good book and knowing you have several more queued up.

Stunning. Archives are everything.

"But it's not only the letting go — there's also the rejoicing of how we can break the system that created the trauma and the division between us and the original caretakers of the land."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

“Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt." Exodus 22:21

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

"But stubborn and principled often look the same, especially to those who are unprincipled." - Jim Ryan

"The Cavalier Daily corresponded with former Rector Robert Hardie, whose term ended June 30, regarding the two accounts. He confirmed that he agreed with Ryan’s account. 'I concur fully with President Ryan’s recollection of events,' Hardie said." Welp www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

So much to be shocked about in this world, and I try to stay here on things I know something abt. Must read Jim Ryan letter (worth going back to summer coverage of the board reconfiguration) recounting actions of the Governor's office and UVA board truly shocking. www.chronicle.com/article/stun...

There go my dreams of occupying a 10,000-sq. foot Park Avenue apartment and turning it into an anarcho-syndicalist autonomous zone

If you want to read “Why I Love the Vermont Green,” I’ve taken pictures of the little zine for you. Of course it’s nicer if you can hold it in your hands. But here’s the zine in full (1/2) #WILtVG

⚽ Les Bleus verront l'Amérique. Portée par sa superstar Kylian Mbappé, auteur d'un doublé et héros du match, l'équipe de France a réussi sa mission et a brillamment décroché son billet pour le Mondial-2026 en écrasant l'Ukraine (4-0), jeudi au Parc des Princes.

I am thrilled that "I Have Avenged America" was selected for The TLS "Books of the Year" roundup!! 🎉 @yalepress.bsky.social yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Thank god! I had been worried about them this whole time.

We're Back! Hard Histories: Facing Into the Wind! open.substack.com/pub/hardhist...

Truly insightful portrait of @juliangerson.bsky.social in the Guardian. Love the insider's view of writing for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's campaign www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Our congratulations to Dean Fuleihan, a senior fellow at the CUNY Institute of State and Local Governance, who was appointed by Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to serve as First Deputy Mayor. His appointment reflects the University's mission to advance public service.

My latest @theguardian.com: As a genuine soccer fan & generational political talent, freshly elected NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani might be able to achieve the unthinkable: force the FIFA behemoth to share its lucre by targeting its tax exemptions & extreme privilege www.theguardian.com/football/202...

here we are indeed. (additional context for fans of other sports: Arsenal is currently at the top of the Premier League)

Zohran has now gotten more votes, in New York City alone, than 49 members of the U.S. Senate did when they get elected; It's likely that, when the final tally is complete, he'll have gotten more votes than half of all Senators currently in office. *This* is what power and purpose looks like.

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

From the archive - this is pretty amazing to read today:

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

"Others will take time in catching up to that." whew

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!

For real though: the Zohran organizing and field operation was legendary. Absolutely setting the bar. Extraordinary work that can be learned from and emulated by any campaign with an actual theory of change.

Great piece from my colleague @eriklinstrum.bsky.social

"And if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves." Damn. 💜
