Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

teaching histories of science and technology can feel so defeating. Even from the decolonial perspectives that highlight black and indigenous perspectives, science and technology history privileges European histories and European epistemologies in so many ways. It's tiring and kind of boring.

Sometimes I feel like I learn more teaching than researching. I've read so many articles today to write next week's articles.

Some traffic stops in D.C. are turning into a deportation pipeline. This video investigation, published in partnership with @evidentmedia.org and @bellingcat.com shows just how MPD is collaborating with ICE:

Next week is going to be a big one from Trump's takeover of D.C.:
🚔 The 30-days of his commandeering of MPD is up. That means Congress needs to extend it, or control comes back to D.C.

Thank you!! It hit me a few months ago, that going to culinary school in Mexico City is a dream of mine.

In the distant future: I think I want to do another Fulbright in Mexico City, but at a culinary school instead of a university. I want to take classes but also teach chefs-in-training various histories of food, agriculture, and the African Diaspora in Mexico.
