When existing institutions have been delegitimated and there’s no agreed way to adjudicate differences, then either you have a failed state or you have a new beginning. A glorious revolution, if you can keep it.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

My family & I are still processing the events of the past 24hrs. There is so much to say; for now I will keep it brief:

Juan was observing the situation at the ICE detention facility alongside other elected officials. He was in a designated protesting area & was standing peacefully when video shows

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

the person who published this is about to run CBS

This is how you journalism

Hey Bluesky:
We're prepping vol. 51 for publication & it is looking fabulous w/articles on artists in Vichy & the actor/author Claudius Roussarie, a roundtable on Karen Offen's "The Woman Question," Interventions, Notes on Sources & the 2025 JWSFH Mixtape!

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Is there a decent overview of #histmed in the US since the Civil War? Because if there is I don't know about it.

Help?

The cover for my book, The Future That Was, is now live! It features the MacArthur genius artist Shahzia Sikander's Infinite Woman (2021), where earth is surrounded by an infinite series of women marching around the globe who, from afar, become rays of the sun ☀️

Durba Mitra got denied tenure???? WTAF??? What else was she supposed to do, Harvard?

If anyone is curious why New Hampshire isn’t in, I would recommend reading up their bear problem newrepublic.com/article/1596...

Maine Governor Janet Mills has issued a standing order that serves as a prescription allowing anyone to get a COVID vaccine at a pharmacy or clinic.

The Maine Bureau of Insurance also issued a bulletin reminding insurers that they must fully cover the vaccine under state law.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

I agree but this case is even worse: it appears that the detailed course description* explicitly mentions that it will explore how gender and sexuality are depicted in YA literature.

*As the reddit poster mentions, there's some confusion and possible misreporting of which course she's teaching.

!!!!!!!!!! So excited!!!!!!!

I don’t think so!!!! I’d love to read it if it’s not too much trouble to share. i think you have my email but if not it’s mroberts [at] bowdoin [dot] edu

Thank you so much!

I think it’s hard for outsiders to grasp how low staff and faculty morale get at universities where everyone’s job gets worse every year because there’s a hiring freeze and program cuts and any real money is locked up in new projects meant to help higher admin shine so they can move somewhere better

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"

That's... usually not the case!

In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.

We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?
