Trump wants the Department of Defense to go back to its old name the “Department of War.” Did you know that beginning in 1789, the Secretary of War managed all tribal relations and in 1822 established the Bureau of Indian Affairs within the War Department.

Just give Alexandra Petrie a Pulitzer already. "Florida is the first state to take the courageous step toward decluttering itself of excess children, but under the inexpert guidance of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., other states may follow."

I am literally begging anyone who does any kind of journalism to spend an hour in an eviction courtroom every week for a month. Please. The eviction crisis in this country is downplayed at best and ignored at worst. It's racialized state violence that hearkens back to the worst of Jim Crow,

Trump’s cruel mass detention and deportation agenda has reached a previously unimaginable scope and scale with ICE planning to double its detention capacity by the end of this year to detain nearly 110,000 people. Texas alone will have the capacity to detain at least 37,000 people.

I was on Global News in Toronto today talking about why athletic boycott of Israel is necessary. Spoiler: it is because they are committing genocide. globalnews.ca/video/113458...

"Medieval studies need instead to move politically to a place of radicality, one that would, unlike liberalism, align itself coherently with the work of dismantling the violent and unjust structures in which we think, work, and live." Brilliant piece by Seeta Chaganti for Arthuriana's The So What!

Liberal Zionists can't read the room, can they? Of course there are medievalists involved... As their colleagues (us!) call for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions, they're more than happy to be platformed by them. You can't "both-sides" your way out of a genocide.

"This page breaks down how these prices have changed under the Trump administration and Republican control of Congress and what federal policies contribute to rising costs." dontinflateourplates.com

Yup: www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019...

The other day I asked three different AI to do a straightforward multiplication problem, and they all got it wrong. I assure you, @historians.org, AI cannot accurately summarize a history text, no matter how simple. And, as you know, most histories aren’t simple!! RECONSIDER THIS.

Very glad to see this coverage of Chris Smalls being brutalized by Israel in @newrepublic.com. newrepublic.com/post/198550/...

The Pentagon Won’t Track Troops Deployed on U.S. Soil. So We Will. Pentagon press releases say 20,000 federal troops have deployed to support ICE across the country. The real number may be markedly higher. theintercept.com/2025/07/22/m...

Though national media has mostly been focused on Los Angeles, it is crucial for eyes to be on the Central Valley to properly address the plight of undocumented immigrants. Read how organizers in California's Central Valley are putting their bodies on the line to fight ICE raids and deportations. ⤵️

Same crisis in Sudan. news.un.org/en/story/202...

At least 15 Palestinians, including four children, have starved to death in a single day, according to health officials, bringing the total number of deaths from malnutrition to 101 since Israel’s war on Gaza began aje.io/f3vtid

I'm really asking everyone to please stop using Alligator Alcatraz. This is not a descriptor that makes sense. These are concentration camps.

I just saw this elsewhere on the socials: openletter.earth/an-open-lett...

Here’s an article about Kenyan moderators who had to wade through a cesspit of the worst stuff in the world to give us our chatbot, for upwards of $1.46 an hour.

This is the plan and they just took the budget to fund it from $30B to $160B.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Good morning 🫡

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

We are a long ways from the ethos of one of my first city editors, who used to say the daily mission should be guided by the question "What are the bastards trying to get away with today?" It defined for me a certain posture journalism ought to take toward power on behalf of citizens.

Israel assassinated the director of the Indonesian Hospital, Dr. Marwan Sultan, and killed his wife and five children in a targeted strike on the family’s apartment in Gaza earlier today. There is now reportedly only one cardiologist left alive in northern Gaza.

Some fun personal news: this morning I received an award from The Sustainable Eel Group, recognizing my public outreach and work in making people care about eels. Follow your dreams, kids! If you make enough bad eel puns, for long enough, then somebody will slip up and give you an award.

‘The nurse told me I couldn’t keep my baby’: how a controversial Danish ‘parenting test’ separated a Greenlandic woman from her children

This study on the impact of NPR and PBS stations, released by U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., highlights stations serve 13 million people in areas threatened by hurricanes, tornadoes, disasters where the stations are an important source of information. https://loom.ly/GzzWg0M

My first academic article is live!! Published with Fashion Studies, “What is a ‘Worth’ Worth? Developing a Methodology of Historical to Modern Day Price Conversions for Dress” asks how we can better explain clothing prices in the past to people in the present. The approach explored is wage data.

This is extremely important. Generative AI is not a tool developed to advance for human knowledge and understanding. It is a tool explicitly developed in service of corporate greed. AI’s core utility is to undercut the cost of paying workers and thereby increase profit margins for a select few.

Me: I have many alibis My mother: You have many accomplices And this sums up a loving mother daughter relationship 🤣

In our new episode, @sakbari.bsky.social celebrates the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, and @wordgarbler.bsky.social talks about Stanisław Lem's novel Solaris (and more). Also, happy Pride! Listen on your podcast app or at megaphonic.fm/spouter/82

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

FYI 👇🏽

one of the reasons the US is an empire in decline is because it could never fully reckon with and reconcile its anti-Black racism. it has destroyed itself because harming itself means that it also harms Black people.

I sigh for a way to be able to use both footnotes and endnotes at the same time. Some things deserve to be on the same page, and others should get far the fuck away from my writing as possible.

This is so exciting!
