That’s correct

"Choked with my pectoral cross."

The Vatican returned 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, a historic restitution that is part of the Catholic Church's reckoning with its role in helping suppress Indigenous culture. n.pr/43T2xmD

Papers, please now standard practice in American cities. Citizens dragged from cars while pleading constitutional protections that no longer protect. The Court that legalized this terror sits silent, complicit. Fascism arrives gradually, then suddenly. We're past gradually,this is the suddenly part

100% this (or 110% if you’re a sportser)

The Trump administration demanded UCLA pay $1.2 billion to restore frozen research funding and ensure eligibility for future funding after accusing the school of allowing antisemitism on campus. n.pr/4hYa0pY

Good question from @jamellebouie.net. The vice president of the United States has embedded himself in far-right communities and spouts extremist claims about blood and belonging. Why hasn't he been asked to explain his connections to the far right and why has he not yet disavowed Nick Fuentes?

The only thing an institution can defend is itself.

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago. And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

The Biden administration sought to create a streamlined refund system free of hoops for passengers who experienced canceled or significantly changed flights.

in the actual real world secret police are disappearing americans on behalf of an openly white nationalist government but george packer’s latest is a novel about a world beset by woke totalitarianism

I can’t help but think that “friendly regulators” is not the best possible approach to regulation oversight….

Can you see any other President in the history of our nation with the gall to put his own face on a US minted coin. What an out of control ego this idiot has. And his handlers are egging him on to new heights of narcissism. #TrumpTrainWreck

Pretty amazing to see someone take credit for the stifling of the university as an educator. abovethelaw.com/2025/10/teac...

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

"'People who care about the future of an independent U.S. higher-education system must take seriously the authoritarian aims of the federal government,' said Dominique Baker" This lady seems really concerned about govt overreach & credulous higher ed stakeholders www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

On this day in 1842, about two dozen persons escape from Cherokee slave plantations and head for Mexico, where slavery had been abolished in 1829. Along the way, they pick up more escapees and kill two slave catchers, are eventually recaptured but inspire future revolts in Indian Territory.

every time a child dies of a preventable disease in the next few years, that's the payoff for Nuzzis horniness

The only people afraid of teaching the past are the ones too deceitful to admit they want the same future.

This is an amazing resource!

This could not be more accurate.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!" Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource. When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

I did not have MTG as a leading indicator / early adopter / savvy politician, but here we are….

AI slop now making up saccharine Bible verses that do not exist

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead. The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

‘We don’t even know all of what we have.’ Howard University fights to preserve Black newspapers. www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/... Last year, during a move, workers found two whole boxes of Frederick Douglass’s’ The North Star’s first year of publication.

I couldn’t agree more. Archives are (or should be) accountability, among other important functions.

what the actual fuck is wrong with American journalists?

Young people understand: The way we did things yesterday does not have to be the way we do things tmrw — because the we did things yesterday wasn’t working!! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/r...

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Now that they’re caught and can’t cook up a secret settlement with MAGA Bondi to line their own pockets. What a steaming pile this is.

Not so sure the White House is going to be too happy with this ratio over at the other place

This is some really bad news with the US response ability being run by grifters and fools. Run, don’t walk to get vaccinated if you haven’t already. Damn glad I am retiring hopefully before this peaks in the South. #Medsky #arpx

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

If someone says “gender ideology” one more time like it means something, I’m going to lose my mind. Stop pretending like there’s not an entire scientific literature on gender identity and gender dysphoria. They’re trying to ban the teaching of that scientific literature.

This week, DHS claimed they were responsible for a "historic drop in crime" in Chicago, citing numbers but no sources. @araceligomezaldana.bsky.social and I fact-checked that claim. Our analysis shows the blitz had little impact on an ongoing decline in violent crime. www.wbez.org/data/2025/11...

In fairness, McWhorter did not write the title and does cite Thornton, whose book came out in 1992. I have it, by chance in arms reach, the copy I bought in 1994 in college. In unfairness, "The history of Black involvement in the slave trade has often been treated as off limits" is passive voice.

The weirdest thing about this discourse is that states with shorter school closures have the same amount of learning loss! I keep waiting for all the punditry on this to catch up with basic facts

So is anyone ever going to ask these people what is wrong with being Palestinian? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.

Of course they will
