Good afternoon!

Good morning!

the pope hasn't hated anyone as much as pope leo hates people in the trump admin since Italy was f*ing unified and it is HILARIOUS.

organizing gets the goods

The argument that Blinken seems to have landed on is that the US did in fact ignore its own laws to supply Israel with weapons, but Israel would have done everything it did regardless of whether or not the US abetted and defended it. This is actually an argument in favor of ending weapon transfers.

Iran looking to formalize its control over the Strait and its power to receive tolls from favored nations in exchange for freedom of movement says India, Pakistan, Iraq, Malaysia and China are in negotiations now to establish rules of transit www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

it is fascinating to watch this bill all come due at once. pickle-brained Discourse Types convinced themselves she had mass appeal because they personally liked her brand of bullshit and never understood that the propaganda that works on them is not broadly appealing.

I'm a historian of eugenics and this is 100% correct

I describe it as such as a historian of disability because I want to remind scientists and the world that the history of science IS the history of eugenics, scientific racism and medical racism, and more. I’m not comforting them with the idea that it was a ‘pseudoscience.’ This is your history.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.”

imo everyone should read the essay from Salvage in the tweet below and also read this longer essay about opposition to war: www.academia.edu/64028197/Int... I totally understand the impulse to point to elite illegality but Rob lays out why that isn't as effective as it feels like it is/should be.

Students being able to receive the supports that will help them be successful is a good thing. The problem isn’t students gaming the system. The problem is a system that requires them to be labeled as having a disability to receive that support.

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Until this country reckons with police and policing, nothing will improve.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
