Let's get the word out on this book labor historians! (I may be a bit biased since it's written about the former steel town where I live.)

Sarah Mullally has been named the new Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman chosen to lead the world's 85 million Anglicans.

What happened in Chicago should be enough to rid this country of this administration, but it's not. These people - Trump, Miller, Vance, whoever is in charge these days - are the worst of the worst. I can only hope that we are not subject to this for the next four years. This is not sustainable. 1/2

THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

Absolutely

Proud Czech gal here

Remember when the Texas Cattle Industry sued Oprah? When Tylenol sues I bet Trump can hire get Dr. Phil to help him. I hear he needs the money.

Spot. On.

Add this to the "Everything that is wrong with higher ed these days" pile. And yes, I read the article and I understand the contractual obligations. They should never have been made in the first place. He didn't increase enrollment.

I wish the rapture HAD come today.

Good morning. Tylenol does not cause pregnant women to have babies with autism. Have a great day.

Because it was

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

Talked to my students about the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour today. If you haven't read "Dangerously Funny," by David Bianculli, now would be a good time to do so.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

AKA Extortion

I.E. We support Christianity and Fascism

I’d say this says what we need to know.

💔

This is unconscionable. And they don’t care.

Absolutely untrue and verifiable by many sources but these folks don’t care.

Wondering how Nancy Mace is going to make the arrest of this white kid from a Mormon Republican family about her.

A student of color approached me after class today and asked if I thought campus was safe, if he was safe or would he be a target because of the color of his skin. Our campus is almost half minority, but in this climate is anyone safe? /1

Must read 👇 It's what I have been trying to impart to my students this morning, but not quite as eloquently.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.

NEW study from the nonpartisan Center for American Progress, by 2027, Trump’s tariffs and policies under his Big, Beautiful Bill will have decreased the incomes of all *but* the top 1% of American households—which will be $5,000 richer. trib.al/FrPxGCo

This is why history is necessary. Sigh.

Not sure we can handle this much greatness.

Proud Union member of @apscuf.org and @aft.org Thank a union member today. The folks who brought you the weekend! #solidarity #laborday

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

"WGBH, the bellwether public TV station in Boston, has laid off the 13 people who worked on the history series “American Experience” and announced that no new documentaries will be produced for the show until further notice." 🗃️ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/a...

He's determined to be a dictator. He keeps telling us that. The mainstream media are holding their hands over their ears and pretending this is "just politics." But he's telling us out loud that he intends to crush all dissent. Get active now, while you can.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Tacky as fuck is what it is

All historians need to be walking into their classrooms this semester absolutely feral.

If you want an inkling of how bad slavery was, read this book by my friend Ed Baptist. I read the first part, "Feet," to my students every time I teach Black Studies or Af-Am. The half has never been told indeed!

Our exchange program with China is in jeopardy. Not to mention all of the other programs that are in jeopardy because of everything else *sweeps arms

Troops serving abroad would like a word. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

So martial law when a Trump lackey named "Big Balls" is attacked, but crickets and no investigation when Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota are gunned down. Got it. As a longtime former DC resident, who worked at CCNV with Mitch Snyder I am beyond disgusted. Also, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
