ICE is now arresting DACA recipients, often for nothing more than social media posts. This isn't a border security issue, these are Americans in everything but paperwork. Congress has had 12+ years to fix this and even Trump himself said Dreamers should stay. Key new stories. #DACA 🧵

How did they get through about 90 minutes and not play a Daft Punk song? #hatm

This would never happen at The Continental, they’re really helpful. #hatm

How cool would it be if this had a cameo from Vincent Cassel and Jean Reno? #hatm

I need to up my turtleneck game after seeing this! #hatm

This movie could be set in Bakersfield and be equally awesome. #hatm

I agree, Hans Gruber is misunderstood! #hatm

Another good movie about going to a foreign country and enjoying wine is A Good Year with Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard. #hatm

Why can’t we as Americans be as polite to each other as the Parisians are in this? #hatm

Are you interested in the history of the sanctuary movement and/or of Chicago?

Check out my article in Middle West Review about the rise of the movement in and out of the city.

I just love the archival footage that ends this film! #hatm

Judas and the Black Messiah is in the final stretch now. #hatm

I bought this on Blu-Ray when it came out. I never opened it until tonight because HBO ran this film for a solid two months straight. #hatm

LEO violence was largely unchecked until late 1970s when outrages led to internal affairs depts. In Houston it was the beating & murder of Jose Torres (& cops sentenced to probation & $1 fine). In Dallas, the murder of a 12 year old made to play Russian roulette by cops during questioning #HATM

I really want to get out to Chicago and soak up some of that culture that @nellstra.bsky.social knows all so well! #hatm

If anyone’s interested in a great read about Chicago and its policing methods, Occupied Territory is a fantastic read! #hatm

I think of Judas and the Black Messiah as a companion film to BlacKKKlansman. Both are important to the telling of the Black experience in a period of dramatic cultural change. #hatm

Eyes on the Prize is such a good documentary! #hatm

New post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS on the incredible shrinking Speaker of the House.
Least. Speaker. Ever.

Reminder: MTG does not become our friend because she hates Trump, and Trump does not become our friend because he loves Mamdani.

So great to see college radio in all its glory featured in today's NYT. I interviewed for the piece (WFUV is at Fordham, WFMU is independent, formerly of Uppsala--such is the way with radio, which has more acronyms than the New Deal): www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/s...

This Day in Labor History: November 22, 1909. Approximately 20,000 garment workers in New York City went on strike against the horrendous conditions of their sweatshops. This strike, known as the Uprising of the 20,000, was the largest strike led by women in American history to that time!!!

I’m so looking forward to seeing this again on Sunday @ 5pm PST with #hatm. Anyone interested in seeing this might want to brush up on COINTELPRO in anticipation of the viewing.
In all the American Revolutioning going on this week, I missed what @herberthistory.bsky.social picked for this Sunday.

I jumped over to the Insta and was pleasantly surprised to find that Judas and the Black Messiah is queued up for Sunday night #HATM

I’ve been wanting to watch it again 🤓
