I had to check if this was real, given it's April 1st. It is real.

I agree, but it I would not be surprised if this racist SCOTUS sided entirely with Trump.

what a bitch

This is a really good point.

Precisely this. As Coates wrote about him preciously, “[Trump's] ideology is white supremacy, in all its truculent and sanctimonious power.”

Living in the northeast means watching the city you now call home go from being a major league team long ago, to an AAA city, to Double A.

This should be considered anpreliminary study, to be revisited if and when more evidence becomes available, but to suggest that its findings are troubling is an understatement. imprintnews.org/top-stories/...

Before I began writing my book on Onondaga Nation, I did research connected to the cleanup of the lake. Onondagas said then, and are saying now, that the DEC underestimated the amount of mercury pollution in the lake. So, a couple of lessons:/ www.syracuse.com/news/2026/04...

SCOTUS will hear arguments tomorrow in Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Here is a brief explainer on why the administration’s arguments regarding Indigenous peoples are faulty and pernicious. This is a dangerous case based on bad history. michaelleroyoberg.com/current-even...

This is not the future I want.

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

It’s not an insult when someone refers to you as a teacher.

Today is the 21st anniversary of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s “notorious” decision in Sherrill V. Oneida Indian Nation, an immensely racist and destructive decision. I know many of you admire RBG, but on Indigenous matters she was a monster.

This guy dances with the devil and wonders why people think he’s a sinner.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” It’s literally in the language of the 14th Amendment. Her lying is so obvious.

Totally not surprising. But, seriously, is it that hard to pull the words out of your mouth?

lamenting all the tiny deaths of scholarship we’ve seen over the past few decades: folks being pushed out of abusive PhD programs; schools refusing to hire full-time faculty; “austerity” measures designed for program cuts; general defunding of education; forced AI adoption; etc.

Do historians still go to the OAH conference? The AHA? Is that still a thing? I haven’t been to either in over a decade.

This wonderful essay, which I read at 4 in the morning, struck so many chords.

NEW: Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

Ah, yes, let’s fall all over ourselves for the Genoese mariner who never once set foot in what became the US. It’s all so stupid. So just remember that they will continue to ruin lives, but it’s over for them. They’ve lost. Columbus, the enslaver, explorer and whore, is a loser’s cause.

I earned my PhD at Syracuse, the only 4 years of my academic career at a private school. With a sticker price of more than $100k, it’s almost as if they don’t know there is a world-class public university 60 miles away available for a fifth of the cost. My kid is getting a great education at Bing.

Look at the pictures, Mr. Fudd. We don’t need an extra level of screening. That is literally the opposite of shortening the lines.

At the airports I fly through, it’s private security guarding the exits, not blue shirt TSA. None of this makes sense.

When Trump dies and people celebrate that fact, show this to anyone who complains.

The most surprising thing to me about that Musk tweet is that he eats in restaurants. How much waitstaff spit has that dude eaten over the course of his career.

Republicans cried when Confederate monuments were being removed. “Woke mobs are erasing history,” they shrieked. They’ve said not a word about the drastic and justifiable revision of Cesar Chavez’s reputation. It’s simple really, and all about how GOP support for white supremacy is fundamental.

I’m old enough to remember when Hunter Thompson called the Reagans “white trash with money,” and, hoo boy, I wish that label were still around to describe the sick fuck that 60% of white people, over three elections, thought was just perfect the perfect candidate president.

It looks like the set of “John Wick.”

A long time ago I lived in Billings, Montana. I was homesick for California. At night I could drive up on to the Rims above the city and listen to KNX 1070 out of Los Angeles, a signal from a thousand miles away. CBS News Radio, I owe you one, and you will be missed.

The Trumpzis are doing horrid things, but we must not comply in advance, and resist cowardly leadership like that at BU. The Trumpzis are fighting against time, the future, and to protect a world where only some people’s lives, liberties, and pursuit of happiness matters. We must fight back
