Wow. The bar is high.

First of all, Fuck You, Hegseth. It’s literally the CONGRESSIONAL Medal of Honor. Congress can enact the “Remove the Stain” Act anytime it wants. Not your call Rumbo. 2nd, their place in history is indeed settled, with the Paxton Boys, the Gnadenhutten child killers, and the Sand Creek mutilators.

Ok. Great. And good for Jimmy. I’m Sure Disney stock prices will be fine. Now, let’s make DC and PR the 51st and 52nd states and add four more justices to SCOTUS. The fight continues

A general statement: ICE guys like to beat up women.

A thoughtful essay worth your time. I’ve been wrestling with the same questions and have much still to learn.

We must remember that a steadfast commitment to white supremacy lies at the heart of Trump’s America. Views like these are more widely, and deeply, shared than you think. Resist.

It would be more appropriate for the headline to read, “Khan offers blunt and accurate assessment of Trump.”

Unpopular thought for the 250th anniversary of Independence: maybe the American Revolution wasn’t a cause we should celebrate?

They would have caved.

This means that Kimmel’s show will not be broadcast in Rochester, NY. I will spend tomorrow reaching out and reviewing their advertisers. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/b...

Historian friends: I have five hundred dollars I need to figure out how to spend by the end of the day tomorrow. What gadgets and devices should I consider?

As I teach my survey of Native American history, I’ve leaned in to the Trump executive orders that seemingly proscribe all that we do. As we approach the Revolution section of the course, students will read, among other things, this piece which I wrote a few years ago. Picture by my daughter.

Is it that hard for the Democratic leadership to acknowledge that Mamdani is a rare talent who has energized young voters in ways that the fossilized branches of the party have failed to do? Democrats do not seem to realize that their cowardice is voter repellent.

Antifa seeking funding to become a group.

Bill Barr defended the destruction of Oak Flat, an Apache sacred site not far from Phoenix, in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. If his logic prevails those of us who care about the earth and each other, not to mention rink Indigenous rights, will suffer a catastrophic loss.

It’s like they are walking up to the bullies and saying, “I’d really rather have you stuff me in a locker than give me a wedgie.”

By the wonderful @elongreen.bsky.social -- an incredible article about an incredible story about an incredible song. slate.com/culture/2025...

Tom Homan is alleged to have committed more crimes than over half the people his thugs have jailed.

If there is any bar at all, $50,000 in cash in a shopping bag ought to soar over it. Elmer Fudd is guilty.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. What an idiot.

Latest call from MiniPlenty

Watch your local Nexstar station’s local news. Make a list of their advertisers. Give those advertisers a call and explain you can’t patronize their businesses because, you know, fascism. Give them a review while you are at it. You have influence.

Welp, my representative voted in favor of the resolution praising Charlie Kirk. He is awful and needs to be challenged by someone from the democratic wing of the Democratic Party.

Grotesque.

Remember that John Oliver bit where it appeared he had info on porn consumption in the Capitol building? He made it sound like more was coming but maybe later this season.

My apparently subversive office door. Zoom in, if you want.

I have a friend who describes the Democrats as the Washington Generals of American politics. These cowardly dweebs want to win for the sake of power, and to serve their chosen corporate overlords, but not to fight for a more just and democratic society. Grotesque.

My late grandmother, my late mother, my wife, and my daughter all know who Robert Redford is, all feel he was talented, and incredibly good looking. Generations of women in my life all loved the guy. Well done, Sir.

Walking along the shore the other day in my hometown.

This is the same guy.

Just take a moment. The whole thing is a scam. They are terrible at governing. Terrible. And all the noise is to distract from their fundamental incompetence in governance.

My mom, June 1938-7 September 2025. We lost a good one.

I am not on Kirk’s professor “watch-list,” But I have been pursued several times by student “journalists” affiliated with his organization who have demanded that I comment my blog posts and harassed me when I refused to respond to their emails or return their calls.

When I taught at a college in Billings in the 90s, our mediocrity of a dean told me, a historian of Early and Native America, that she needed for me to do “applied research, something that matters.” I started interviewing Indigenous kids on my campus about racism in the wake of some ugly white /

hey the people that stormed the capitol and erected gallows to murder elected leaders want you to know that political violence is not ok

Or we could fire the fascists who are doing their best to destroy democratic institutions is this sick republic.

Let me suggest that if I have tanks invade my city, that if the courts declare me a second-class citizen, that if masked men abduct my neighbors, and I go to you, my rep, and say “help me fight my persecutors,” and you say “shush, talk about healthcare subsidies,” you, too, are my persecutor

My adopted, or at least current, hometown

We live in a fuckin’ ghoulish country.

I want all Democrats running for federal office to support the expansion of the SCOTUS should they become the majority party. 13 justices, one for each circuit. DC statehood and, if the people there want it, PR statehood as well. Time to start doing something.

Yield man! Just close your eyes and let him do it. When you fight it only makes him angry.

You can't compare obscenities. But I will say: -As older brother of two wonderful sisters, and as husband of the love of my life, I was nauseated by "grab 'em by" tape. -I now have four pre-teen granddaughters. I am berserk with fury on the Trump/Epstein horrors. Who could not be?

Talibangelicals.

🤣🤣

I watched some of the videos and my desire to slap Thomas Jefferson around has grown even greater.

Let them eat cake.

Everything Pritzker says here is correct. What Trump posted would shock anyone who values civil society.

Lest anyone doubt the fundamental racism of the Trump Administration. White Supremacy rests at the heart of this nasty movement.

Ventura, California.

McConnell complaining that the dried blood on his hands is uncomfortable.
