Las Vegas friends, it would be great to see you at my book talk at UNLV this Thursday at 4pm! #History 🗃️

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social See this? Self-care, collective care, solidarity, political organizing, and cardio all at once. bsky.app/profile/iwil...

"Intelligence dossiers stuffed with documents. Wiretaps. Paid informants. Covert operatives with code numbers like "A-828." A Red Power dissident photo album. Surreptitious surveillance at homes, offices, airports and bars." Excellent work @shirip.bsky.social !

We need to stop accepting that these are "leading Jewish groups." They are not democratically accountable to the majority of American Jews, and I suspect the majority of NYC Jews do not care if Mamdani shares iftar with Mahmoud Khalil. I certainly do not! jewishinsider.com/2026/03/mamd...

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children. A major throughline of the Trump administration.

Today my book (The Limits of Revolution: Worker Citizens in a Bolivian Mining City) comes out from the @utexaspress.bsky.social, so I thought I'd share a little snippet from my conclusion that I am very proud of.

A great opportunity and a great cause!

I’ve started sayin “He’s wearing a wire!” when I see these glasses. One man overheard and pulled them off. 😭😭😭

Just bought this 'cause it looks cool, an internet friend is plugging it, and it's for the best of causes. Just a few hours left to buy it - go for it, y'all!

H/T @thegoodliars.bsky.social

This should be a front-page scandal.

There is no special category of “junk food” that is responsible for everybody’s weight. “TV ads” are something many, many people hardly ever see anymore. Addressing problems in the corporate food industry is a great idea. But “they make cookies seem delicious!” is not the main issue.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

"We ended DEI in America." The long backlash to the civil rights movement analyzed here 👇🏼

The thing about the women’s hockey team declining the SOTU invitation is in part that sometimes, if you do not need certain kinds of power, you get to retain others.

My abuelo went to NYC from Cuba during WWII and he worked as a snow shoveler for years before saving enough money to go back to Cuba so he could really start his life. Till his very last day - and I am not kidding - he carried his NYC snow shoveler ID in his wallet with pride. Respect is long due.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Don't tell @nytimes.com @nbagley.bsky.social or @robertgo.bsky.social. My union @psc-cuny.org often does far more lobbying than management to secure resources for CUNY students. In addition to being a politcal hit-job, this op-ed is woefully inaccurate. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

I struggle to articulate why the dehumanizing speech AI systems I study are a dangerous threat, because it is SO clear to me that they are made by people who hate human beings. I can’t understand why I have to keep explaining that when this dude is out here saying these things every single day.

“We’re now offering live odds on whether or not the next piece about The White Man’s Burden will include semicolons or em-dashes! Use promo code ‘FOURTEENWORDS’ to get a free $50 voucher in predictionbucks!”

Wow this punched me in all of my feelings. This is Powerful.

Has anyone asked the billionaire owner, the richest person in Minnesota, if he'd be interested in donating a few dollars to his own journalists for protective gear? "Dollars go to support our journalists and help pay for things like protective gear" www.startribune.com/grove-a-rall...

Infosec person here: AI...especially GenAI...is nothing more than a sophisticated super-fast predictive engine that's been fed terabytes of prepped data. It is not conscious. It does not have agency. It is at its core a computer program and the sooner everyone realizes this, the better.

Esp so since the bathrobe in this one is a local journalist:

As many are noting, this is not true! On Amtrak back in August, I was opening my wallet to show a conductor my driver's license without thinking, and he said “I don’t need your ID, sweetheart. I ain’t the police.” Then we both laughed.

I can't express how happy I am to open this box today. The Limits of Revolution: Worker Citizens in a Bolivian Mining City, out March 10 from @utexaspress.bsky.social You can pre-order now! utpress.utexas.edu/9781477333297/ #skystorians #bolivia #mining #laborhistory #miningfamilies🗄️📁🗃️

Don't forget Minnesota - there are still thousands of ICE agents stationed and acting there. www.standwithminnesota.com

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

New Yorker cartoon via Instagram:

NEW: Of all the states that voted for Harris over Trump in 2024, there's only one where a Dem governor is overseeing an ICE's 287(g) program: Massachusetts. Other blue states have quit, or even outright banned it. My colleague on what's happening: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

Really looking forwd to teaching the #SuperBowl #BadBunny halftime show in dialogue w/ American energy history & colonialism in the future. #envhist #energy #colonialism #sugarcane #electricpower

Thank you to members of the Minneapolis Volunteer Public Works Department. We know you got into this to look cool and meet women, but you're actually making a real difference in people's lives.

After four freezing weeks on the picket line, it finally looks like the nurses strike in New York City is nearing its conclusion. Nurses have seemingly won agreements that will give them a lot, but not all, of what they were after. hellgatenyc.com/nysna-strike...

Bad Bunny like

Omg this is so good I missed this! VERY intentional shot lingering on two men grinding on each other Throughout his career Benito has been an ally to the LGBTQ community and has tried to push back against the machismo prevalent in Latin music

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” This is why we need to be telling our stories.

For those interested in why Black & Caribbean people are going off about the sugar cane from last night's halftime show: sugar is a plantation commodity that fueled slavery & colonialism bookshop.org/p/books/swee...

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Jorell Meléndez-Badillo, a UW–Madison assistant professor of Latin American and Caribbean history, assisted in writing historical narratives to accompany videos for “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY OF REGGAETON

Extremely exciting news: We're hiring a full-time film critic to come work with me at The A.V. Club! You probably have an idea if you're qualified for this, but if there's something that's not in the job listing, I'm sure I can answer Qs www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...

I've been getting over a lingering cold the past week, lots of morning congestion etc Which is to say I'm grateful for my print copy of @theonion.com giving me a coughing fit so epic my lungs actually feel completely clear for once!

Still a need! 👇🏻

for my latest @us.theguardian.com talked to teens leading and joining anti-ICE walkouts from TX to MD to WI. one NYC teen: "I feel scared [of ICE] every day... But I’m not going to let that stop me, because bravery is just the positive way to say you’re scared, and I’d rather be brave than scared."

We SURE DID

Sports people: it’s ok to text your gay friend when it’s almost half time so they don’t miss Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny shouting out Bolivia :) and everywhere else in América
