Thank you @pantheonbooks.bsky.social

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

NEW! History Studio Founding Partner & Pulitzer Prize–winning author Heather Ann Thompson’s new book Fear and Fury arrives Feb 10, 2026! @historianheather.bsky.social Learn more: lnkd.in/eNvchkMe

DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.

Wow

Sound on. @historianheather insta

This should be a great one, looking forward to checking it out

FEAR AND FURY Bernie Goetz, The Reagan 80s, and the Rebirth of White Rage (Pantheon, 2026)

In no small measure, a book about how we got here…

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

"CoreCivic's CEO earned more than $7 million last year. Corporate leaders at CoreCivic and GEO Group gushed on recent earnings calls about the 'unprecedented opportunity' they're facing ... CoreCivic didn't report the death of an inmate to city police for six days."

The Republicans have structured the benefit cuts, especially to Medicaid, to largely start after the 2026 election. But the Big Ugly Bill...ionaire Tax Breaks are extended immediately. We see you.

Yay! Thank you New York Public Library. ♥️ @nypl.bsky.social

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Zohran Mamdani stunned former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded the New York City mayoral primary race to the 33-year-old state lawmaker. trib.al/KfNebEQ

So SLAVERY.

Yay!! @booksky.bsky.social

Counting down….

Wow. And they will still permit them for over 65 or with certain medical conditions because…oh yes, the prevent people from dying from covid. Wow.

Truly stunning… even after all we see day in and day out

What in the absurdity is this answer?

Thanks to the Justice, Power, and Politics series editors @historianheather.bsky.social and Rhonda Williams for the work they do day in and day out on these @uncpress.bsky.social books!

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

the president wants to reopen alcatraz because he’s an old man with dementia who is mentally frozen in the 1970s and 80s. he’s not trying to distract you, his brain is just full of holes

What an absolute tool

In 2022, we took DOCCS to court for their blanket censorship of the Pulitzer-prize winning book, Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising and Its Legacy. People have a right to read and to history. We argued that DOCCS can't censor books just because it doesn't like the content - and we won.

Finished @hthompsn's "Blood in the Water" about the Attica prison uprising and its aftermath with all its complexities and absurdities. A mad-making, sad-making, sense-of-it-all-making book. History can and should be like this.

Really good to know, Derek. Betrayal At Attica is a film everyone should see it and Heather Anne Thompson’s book ‘Blood In The Water’ a must read. Think it’s still streaming on multiple platforms. www.atticaisallofus.org/featured-wor...

i have a large tbr pile so i’m constantly choosing on day-to-day vibes BUT when i looked at it this morning these two were the ones i found myself reaching for

The American demonization and dehumanization of anyone incarcerated did not start with the Attica rebellion, but I highly recommend reading about it ("Blood In The Water" is a wonderfully thorough book, Wikipedia though will give you the basics if you're in a rush).

Breaking news: The U.S. economy shrank in the first three months of 2025, contracting by an annualized rate of 0.3 percent, a stark reversal after nearly three years of solid growth, as tariff-related uncertainty upended spending patterns and raised fears of an impending recession.
