A bonus historical anniversary today:

Also also, I just want to remind the world that Atwell had to get her CA driver's license renewed during filming so went out during a break in full Carter makeup so that was the picture on her license. screenrant.com/hayley-atwel...

Just some Undercroft ceiling action for your Monday afternoon. Check out the oak on that. 😘

It was great to welcome a group of young people from @llamau.bsky.social to the Archives this morning, as part of the Discover Creative Careers programme. We hope you enjoyed the visit, and trying out some preservation work, digitisation and research. Thanks for visiting!

Per YouGov Rahm Emanuel is the 78th most popular Democrat, behind everyone from Michael Dukakis to Barney Frank. He is 12 places behind Harry Reid, who died five years ago. To the extent anything's happening here it's *entirely* media-driven. yougov.com/en-us/rating...

Just got a notice that Southwest Airlines is updating their privacy policy. I went to read it and found a ton of useful links to sites to opt out of targeted advertising and the like. Quite useful. www.southwest.com/about-southw...

The courageous men of the 82nd Airborne will be honored to make the ultimate sacrifice so Trump’s friends can win bets on when they die. by Marc Thiessen

Newberry Archive. Wedding portraits of my grandfather, Sterling P. Newberry and my grandmother, Dollie Ethel Potter. I see so many dear family faces in them.

No tyrants.

Hey I would super appreciate it if non-US folks from other countries would stop telling us what to do. I promise for every visible public action (protests, speeches, etc) there are 1000 you have no idea exist. The underground activist movement is ENORMOUS and you have no clue about the scale.

It's still flabbergasting to me that Trump bombed Venezuela, kidnapped its president and stole the country's oil, and put the money into a private Qatari bank account. Our country was upset about it for about a week, then shrugged and moved on. The "opposition party" just kinda... let it drop?

AI & asinine authoritarianism - the poor man’s Speer

Ed and Stede?? DO NOT SEPARATE!

Parent in the lunch line told their kid, “Stop rolling your eyes like I’m not right here.” and I felt the weight of my ancestors reaching back across a thousand generations.

This really, really, really sucks.

Absolutely unacceptable. Congress must do their Constitutional duty immediately. Our sons and daughters must not die for Trump and Hegseth’s idiocy.

The media doesn't pay attention to left protests unless someone gets hurt. Peaceful protests against the right wing bore them. Right protests, on the other hand, are homespun, grassroots demonstrations of America's finest traditions & deserve blanket coverage

haters are one of Chicago’s most vital exports. they don’t grow them like that anywhere else. if you have been hated by someone from Chicago you never forget it. Leo talks like a guy who has to call up his confessor twice a day to yell about some new Truth Social post that’s making him see knives

America did not meet the universal adult suffrage criteria of democratic governance until 1965. Gatorade is the exact same age as American democracy.

Here is something from a King worth remembering... "We may have all come different ships, but we're in the same boat now." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

Spent the afternoon alongside hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers (and millions of Americans) who are loudly saying NO to Trump, to ICE, and to war. It was also a Proud Dad day as I watched Rosa deliver a wonderful speech at a students rally before the march. (1/3)

I counted nearly 1700 protesters in Franklin, TN. Which is, uh, not exactly a hotbed of left-wing progressivism. #NoKings

"WAR DON'T SEX" - every Army 1SG after finding two E4s fucking in the bunkers. Again.

here on Boston Common there are maybe 40 tents from different advocacy and organizing groups set up between the subway stations and the rally point, and people are stopping by and signing up it’s not just hanging out with signs, it’s making connections

Wonder if there will be a No Kings protest on July 4th. Trump pomp and circumstance to celebrate Americas 250th while the citizens rise up to speak out against him is both on the nose and poetic.

Agreed. These protests are perhaps one of the few times when normies with resources can potentially meet organizations and activists who need those resources. Where else is a pissed-off middle-classed mom or dad going to meet anarchists or communists or regular old community organizers?

Gov. Walz: Don't ever mistake our kindness for weakness. We demand justice for Renee Goode and Alex Pretti. We demand justice for every single person who was hurt or traumatized.

Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

A real person!! Someone who gets it- imagine

I love Durham

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild
