More winning ... just not for us. This is the way, and the US will be losing out for years.

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign. This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

This is the Trump thug who wants to deny due process rights to everyone else. Turns out he was being investigated for taking $50k cash in an illegal scheme, but Trump’s DOJ dropped it. This double standard and corruption is infecting our justice system.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Tomorrow marks the 125th anniversary of the Galveston Storm, the devastating hurricane that killed about 10,000 people and nearly destroyed the island city on September 8, 1900. This is a thread about how a society writer responded to the storm in a strange and poignant newspaper story. 🧵🗃️ 1/25

Every single museum in America needs to print out "Actually, slavery WAS that bad" and post it on their front door today.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Trump illegally killing drug dealers, illegally unleashing the national guard and military against citizens, illegally detaining and kidnapping immigrants, threatening to end mail-in voting, and urging gerrymandering. Folks, what would you call these actions if another leader did them?

Please share! We're trying to crowd-source a dataset of post-1929 novels with maps.

Feel like this needs to be said again and again and again.

These guys should be home with their families.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Bless Maryland Governor Wes Moore for refusing to authorize National Guard deployment!

NEW: After U.S. takes stake in Intel, Trump signals the WH could pursue similar investments in other companies. That kind of intervention in private business, which could be risky, is also a radical departure for a party that has preached free markets www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...

This particular letter shows a clear, intentional dismantling of the US. Disgusting.

You're making a map project. You find a perfect primary source. There isn't any location data. ARGH! In our latest blog we ask Humappers how they create story maps with imperfect spatial data. Take a look at humap.me/blog-community/blo... #GIS #HGIS #DigitalHumanities #StoryMaps #EdTech

The point is - the states began cutting back their support in the 80’s resulting in greater reliance on federal $ and significantly increasing tuition (this was noticed by families!)

State funding has been going down since the 1970s at least, and universities have used grants, they also raised tuition, solicited alumni donations, and admitted more foreign students.

Rigorous historical research, grounded in evidence and communicated to the public through museums and other venues, is a critical hindrance to fascism. There is only one reason Trump wants to do this.

While Donald Trump needlessly deploys the National Guard in DC — where crime is at a 30-year low — California continues to bring down crime in nearly every major category. No one should look for advice from a felon who pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists on Day One.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

🚨 WaPo EXCLUSIVE Hours before Trump removed Billy Long as IRS commissioner, his agency clashed with the White House over sharing immigrants’ tax data.

This is CBS’s total surrender to Big Brother. George Orwell and Edward R. Murrow would weep. We all should. What will we see ABC and NBC do?

The current Trump administration has made 70% more changes to government environmental websites during its first 100 days than the first Trump administration did. My @npr.org Climate Desk story: www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...

In a new report, EDGI documents the second Trump administration’s control of federal environmental information in its first 6 months. We found that environmental justice & climate change information have been broadly rewritten & deleted. Learn more: envirodatagov.org/publication/...

The last two people Trump got fired: 1. Stephen Colbert, for telling the truth about him. 2. Dr. Erika McEntarfer, for telling the truth about his horrible job statistics
