Donald Trump must be removed from office. Not only is he waging an illegal war—he’s threatening war crimes.
To the members of our military: remember, you do not have to follow illegal orders.
Thank you so much - I am such an admirer of your work. I use your sourcebook frequently in my teaching!

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.
That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.
We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.
Chicago's U.S. attorney's office has released evidence from the case against Marimar Martinez, pre-empting her press conference later today.
It even released text messages it once claimed would "sully" a Border Patrol agents's rep.

We have launched a new fundraiser to support The Washington Post's courageous international employees and local staff who were laid off, who are not eligible for Guild protections, and who face additional logistical challenges and security risks.
Please give & share widely:

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

I am, as ever, immensely grateful to Duncan MacRae, @carlosfnorena.bsky.social, Lisa Pieraccini, and Erich Gruen, as well as to Myles Lavan and the anonymous reviewers of the JRS, for their generous feedback and generative critiques. Any errors are my own.
I began this research project back in the summer of 2020, when it was unclear when I would regain full access to an academic library, much less visit the tomb. I therefore feel particularly lucky to be able to share the final product from my temporary home here in Rome.
In the article, I examine the famous Scipionic epitaphs in their original context to position the tomb as a site for relational engagement with the past, where family history was articulated through an ongoing dialogue with the dead.
I am thrilled to share that my article, “Hoc Saxsum: History as Conversation inside the Tomb of the Scipios” is now available on the Journal of Roman Studies website via FirstView. (It’s also open access!)
Thank you so much, Seth! Your work on historical culture has been so important to my engagement with the tomb, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to discuss it with you last year.
Thank you so much, Carlos!
Most incredible about this is that IU-Bloomington has long been the no. 1 university in the world for teaching Asian languages and cultures, with many programs found nowhere else.
They're slashing many of IU-B's most distinctive programs with zero thought or debate. They probably don't even know.
According to a 2021 report, the University of California system:
• generated $82B in economic activity in California
• supported 529K jobs in the state
• generated $21 in economic output for every $1 received
Public divestment from higher ed makes no sense, even in the narrowest economic terms.
Rümeysa Öztürk speaks after her release from ICE detention and return to Massachusetts.
We'll keep pushing for freedom and justice for Rümeysa and other scholars like her who've been targeted for exercising their First Amendment rights.

Please highlight this story.
ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

I am delighted to share that I have been awarded a Rome Prize fellowship with the American Academy in Rome. I am eternally grateful to my UC Berkeley friends, mentors, and colleagues who made this journey possible.
353 signatories so far on the @aacu.org Call! AMAZING work by their team. Take a look - organized by the presidents' last names (not the institutions or associations). Is your college/university or academic organization there? #academicsky #skystorians #edusky #higher www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
I am Jewish.
I have spent literally my entire life on university campuses.
I was the child of two Jewish professors.
Since kindergarten I have spent exactly one year as neither a student nor a professor.
I have, on occasion, experienced antisemitism. But never on a university campus.
