While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Have seen this cycle a lot of times: Paper promotes the benefits of AI in education, paper is hyped in media/LinkedIn/in AI circles. Paper is retracted as bullshit months later www.404media.co/nature-retra...

In case it wasn’t obvious yet you’ve been experiencing for years corporate centrists laying the groundwork for a partnership with out and out fascists like Tucker Carlson because, when it always comes down to it, their allegiance is to capitalism and they will form a coalition against the Left.

Scholars who think the Lost Cause died long ago, or is all but dead, haven't been paying attention. I plan to show why that's not true in a new book I'm working on & for which I have a Warren Center fellowship at Harvard this fall. These ideas have been brewing for awhile & I'm excited about it.

Today is Pub Day! US History at the 250th.This grew out of a conversation about the past a & what it means now @nhannahjones.bsky.social, @agordonreed.bsky.social @sienriquez.bsky.social, @redped.bsky.social Erika Lee Robert Parkinson Marc Stein @william-sturkey.bsky.social y, & Catherine Clinton

This.

Damn, this is embarrassing.

At the core of the hard right's agenda ➡️ male supremacy. Take a look at the SPLC #IntelligenceProject's ideology page to see how male supremacists are working to normalize their extremist ideas and revive an older social order 📲: https://bit.ly/4jNj94K

Invoking the red herring of “racial quotas.” Despicable.

No sugar-coating the Court’s decision today. Real talk. @allinwithchris.bsky.social

I’ve edited this post three times. Some of my responses were mean. Some were measured. I just want to say that any time you think about abandoning the South, it says more about you than it does anything else. There were 4.8 million Texas voters that didn’t want any of this.

Apparently, the most sacred right, above all others, is the right to take away other people’s rights.

$6 gas is gonna suck. My summer plans are going to consist of staying at home and sitting in the yard under a sprinkler.

King Charles at State Dinner: “You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”

"We think that investment in journalism is critical to a healthy democracy,"

Awesome.

There's nothing better than a pub day 🙌 Check out these new books that just published today 📚 uncpress.org/hot-off-the-...

AND further evidence of confusion about what teaching (and even knowledge) actually is. Knowledge is NOT a synonym for information. Teaching is not just communicating information.

Notice that the Trump regime is not just blaming one violent person for what happened Saturday night. It’s blaming 8 million peaceful “No Kings” protesters as well as you and me posting peacefully on social media. Trump isn't opposed to violence. He's opposed to resistance.

Just print this out and paste it all over gas pumps in their states.

This morning at Hancock High, seniors headed to the floor of the gym to receive their caps and gowns, each from a teacher they had chosen. Stacy Campbell waited there, holding her student Israel Makoka's cap and gown. But he wouldn't come. He and his brother, Max, 15, had been taken by ICE.

I will be discussing Out of This Strife Will Come Freedom: Free People of Color and the Fight for Equal Rights in the Civil War Era on May 13th at the Cambridge Public Library. If you're in the area, please join us. www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/...

🚨PSA: The book club scam targeting authors has now moved up a notch. If NPR contacts you via a gmail account (!), don’t respond. It’s bogus! The text of the message sounds similar to the book club emails, but I could absolutely see more authors falling for this NPR scam. 📚

Tate Reeves can bite the wall. The most unnecessary proclamation ever. The List Cause in our own time.

The DOJ loses credibility on the daily. Just doing the bidding of a president eaten up with grievance.

Helpful guide

If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

But the Strait of Vermouth is always open in this administration.

The Daughters have always been good fundraisers. I had no idea their organization remained this financially healthy. And no longer tax exempt thanks to the new VA governor. This is a good thing. Now do churches. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

Win or lose, there remains a real measure of promise and decency in America that is worth the fight. And win or lose, there is no dignity for any of us unwilling to have that fight.

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

'Guillon de Prince said on Saturday that other French families must confront their historical allegiances to slavery and the state should go beyond symbolic gestures to address the past, including through reparations.'

PS - the new @drkarenlcox.bsky.social endorsement graphic!🙌🙌🙌 Thanks again, my friend.

The tired rhetoric of “woke professors” comes from people who haven’t darkened the door of a college classroom in decades.

Thank you, Karen! So grateful for your endorsement, too.😊

Vile and frightening.

Democrats are underreacting to Donald Trump’s obvious mental decline. They should be shouting it from the rooftops and on every cable show, just like Republicans did with Joe Biden. Trump is clearly not well.

Too many to choose from but a favorite is Elbie’s moment of Zen.

What a petty, vengeful, hateful little man.

Oh, I'm sure this won't end up being evil.
