Holiday carolers are protesting Home Depot’s association with ICE 🎶 We don't want no more deportations 🎶

this, *this*, is the greatest crossover of all time

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Feeling this tonight.

Tell me again how immigrants are the ones making us unsafe?

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

I really don’t need to read a debate over whether or not women “ruined” the workplace, NYT.

LAPD knows who the journalists are. That’s why they’re shooting them! How about cops just stop shooting journalists (and everyone else, too, for that matter)?

This, 💯

Count me in as someone with a strong pivot towards the Arctic, although more on the geopolitical side (albeit with an eclectic professional and academic background). I’m excited by the expanding interdisciplinary connections being forged and new approaches and discussions underway.

Are these new USG talking points? That’s going to make 250 birthday messaging a bit complicated…

I just poured Diet Coke into a mug of cold coffee and took a swig, if you’re wondering how my evening is going.

Why?

Lena Leimgruber at Umeå University thinks literature and the arts put the human into focus and provide an important perspective in Arctic discourse. "Literature can change you if you allow yourself to be part of it," she says to High North News. www.highnorthnews.com/en/lena-leim...

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

A moment that calls for collective action… to reject this transparent attack on academic freedom.

Really happy with this little cookbook I found in a zine box at a small-town indie bookstore. Good food, shop local, distract from the news? Sign me up! Next up: party in your mouth cake and mint julep sorbet.

Is it really only TUESDAY?!?

Grateful for museums that refuse to whitewash slavery, and that continue to highlight the stories of all Americans - including those whose historical experiences are under attack by revisionist forces.

Made me laugh after a loooong week

Really, Berkeley?!

OMG. So good.

MAJOR grocery sticker shock after being gone for awhile…also, surprisingly hard to find basics. No, I don’t want to buy everything in prepackaged mixes. On the plus side, happy to be reacquainted with string cheese, bagels, and Mexican spices! Oh, and apple cider. Bring on fall 🍁🍎🎃

While you’re at it, please make sure your kids are fully vaccinated before sending them to school, even if no longer required. Just say no to polio!

A good reminder and time to point out that anyone promoting “fact-based” history as “neutral” or truth” is lying to themselves… or to you.

The faculty have been waiting decades to get this quote into the Times.

"After watching cockatoos voluntarily begin dancing for reasonable lengths of time, it was difficult to reach any conclusion other than cockatoos most likely dance because it’s fun."

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all

happy 8th anniversary to this unintentional bit of improv comedy

"Rather than maintaining the scholarly distance necessary for objective analysis, numerous institutions have embraced narratives that closely align with Russian state propaganda," writes Ngotho Gichuru, a Ph.D. student at Makerere University in this op-ed.

Happy 75, NSF.

The plantation in Louisiana that burned was a resort with a website taking about its restoration to its “glory days” - this was not a site that was acknowledging its troubled history.

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

Stay strong, Greyhound!

Apparently there are no women available to be part of a peace conference. Nor people of color in all of Europe or US.

New turd just dropped. The Foreign Service no longer serve the Constitution, but "the faithful execution of the President's foreign policy." It suggests that the FAM will be rewritten/discarded, and that disloyalty (social media posts?) is grounds for separation. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We all took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We will honor our commitment to this country. Proud to be an American. 🇺🇸
