Looking forward to this one!

women, back to your kitchens

"When Democrats try to meet Trump 'in the middle ... you're kind of falling into this trap of accepting egregious behavior because it seems like it's halfway to where they're at, when they're all the way to crazy.'"

This is just so lovely. A reminder that there are still lots of good people about, even as the vicious & awful dominate the headlines, and that religious bodies can choose to be open and inclusive www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When I say they’re coming for our daughters, I’m not exaggerating. The powerful people obsessed with the (white) birth rate and enforcing ‘traditional’ values and norms know they need young women to do it—whether those young women like it or not. — @jessicavalenti.bsky.social

Friends, where do people post CFP these days? I've used H-Net. The fall of twitter history means it's much harder to reach people these days! I've had quite a few great abstracts for the below but I feel like I should be reaching more folks.

“Targeting regional universities and community colleges reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of tenure—as if it were a privilege reserved for a select few rather than an essential working condition for all faculty responsible for teaching and research.” @uoklahomaaaup.bsky.social

Federalizing elections. Targeting voter rolls. Threatening local officials. This isn’t “election integrity.” It’s an escalating war on democratic participation. 3/ Read more on Trump’s latest assault on voting rights from @thewaywithanoa.bsky.social 👇

It’s not always easy to speak truth to power. More often than not, it’s downright dangerous. But history shows us when enough of us do it, we are unstoppable. In 1963 Fannie Lou Hamer shared just how scared she was in her fight for freedom, but her commitment to doing it anyway.

We’re celebrating America 250 by re-enacting it. Except it’s not weekend dads at a park.

Way to read the room, Chuck

🇬🇧 WATCH: “How dare he say this? A man who dodged the draft. Absolute disgrace.” UK soldiers who served alongside us and mothers of the fallen react to Trump disparaging their sacrifice to denigrate NATO. (H/T @lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social ) Putin is pleased.

Ha, you thought I wouldn't repost because there's no alt? Handled.

I wish I could remember who said they wish they had cultural power but they're trying to use political power in its place. They can remove the signs. They cannot remove all the histories, primary documents, and collective knowledge of the past, and their attacks underscore why these things matter.

Today's read from J. of Democracy @jodemocracy.bsky.social 'Authoritarians both 'genderbash' and 'genderwash.' They alternately crack down on women's rights/gender activism to appease conservatives AND take credit for advances toward gender equality while implementing authoritarian practices.'

Once again, the dialogue I did with Martin Luther King III on the clear and present threat to the heart of his Dad’s legacy, voting rights, and the need to mobilize to put a spotlight on John Roberts and his partisan justices poised to eviscerate what remains of VRA www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/o...

"I could not move, because history had me glued to the seat. . . It felt like Sojourner Truth’s hands were pushing me down on one shoulder & Harriet Tubman’s hands were pushing me down on another shoulder, & I could not move." — Claudette Colvin Claudette Colvin ¡Presente! has died at age 86. 💔

It is impossible to properly calculate the depth and breadth of the courage and sacrifice of those prepared to confront white supremacy and assert their right to full citizenship. We - and by that I mean ALL Americans - owe them a great debt. Rest in Peace & Power Claudette Colvin.

Oh, my heart… RIP, Ms. Colvin, and thank you for everything.
