ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

I am teaching some of the reignited Mainz Catholicon printing debates to German print history students, and I realized others might also be interested in using these debates as a way to teach analytical bibliography, print hist, etc... so I made a teaching resource!

I just really hope we're all sitting with the fact that we're having a government shutdown in a year when ONE PARTY CONTROLS ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

I can’t believe how depressing it is to watch Trump crush norms, and institutions and to wonder if people are noticing.

Please let me know if you have suggested additions, corrections, etc.

Incunables like the Catholicon are not my area of expertise, but I do have a love for analytical bibliography and print history, so this debate continues to excite me (and @gutenbot.bsky.social)

Dylan Lewis @iamdylanlewis.bsky.social · 8d

As the operator of @gutenbot.bsky.social I was contractually obligated to create this Catholicon discourse bibliography, but I also think this is a useful resource for people teaching:
- incunables
- analytical bibliography
- print history
- scholarly debate/exchange via journals

The insane amount of money and logistical upheaval needed to make this meeting possible, and it's just another one of his fascist would-be dictator rallies.

Calling democrats bad people, suggesting the military owes allegiance to him over the country, going on his weird dementia rants, etc.

Trump to generals: "They said, 'we'd like to name it the F-47.' After thinking for about two seconds I said, 'Ok.' I'm 47. I'm 45, 46, and 47 if you think about it. I just don't want the credit for 46."

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

I don’t think the president should have the power to just arbitrarily declare online that IKEA cannot do business in the United States for no particular reason other than he feels like it

Joey Politano🏳️‍🌈 @josephpolitano.bsky.social · 13d

Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.

We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale “FLOODING” of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
