The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
New York turned out, as always. So sick and heartened at the same time.
And the pièce de résistance, we have our 2025 Bookmark, arising from the LABOR's 2024 Big Book Forum featuring @loriflores.bsky.social's Awaiting Their Feast: Latinx Food Workers and Activism from WWII to COVID-19 (@uncpress.bsky.social).
A key reminder for the food movement. “Cruelty and dehumanization are the points of Trump’s immigration schemes. We must not lose sight of this while protesting raids in food spaces.” @loriflores.bsky.social
I want you guys to understand something. There aren't 65 million immigrants in this country, but there are 65 million Latinos.
They're using the same language and tactics they once used against Black people and Indigenous people.
This is ethnic cleansing.
Thank you to the NYC Food Policy Center for including AWAITING THEIR FEAST on their summer reading list!
I need to know more about this conference 👀

Here’s the thing.
If you don’t like the fun and the challenge of
1. Reading widely
2. Going to archives
3. Searching for new sources
4. Playing around with book structure
5. Writing and revising
Why are you even writing a nonfiction history book?
Fame? 😆
Money? 🤣
I just don’t get it.
Another remarkable view down 5th Avenue.
Tens of thousands united in saying no to Trump, no to ICE, no to fascism and #NoKings.
(🎥 Unheard Voices)
“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco
Pine St. Seattle #nokings
Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.
TRUMP NOW SAYING DEPORTING GOOD FARM AND HOTEL WORKERS IS A BAD IDEA 🤔
Suddenly he now realizes this… and ties himself into a pretzel to justify it. (Why just farms and hotels? Spoiler: donors called)
Thank you to the International Labor History Association and the journal LABOR for naming my book Awaiting Their Feast “Book of the Year” and the “Big Book of 2025,” respectively. Both huge honors.✨
So happy to be included in the “Food as Voice” issue of Voices of Mexico! I discuss Mexican food’s history in New York. Disponible a la librería del CISAN UNAM
Columbia bylaws state that the president can only send police on campus to arrest protestors after consulting with the university senate. Once again, the president has neglected to follow these rules, which have been in place since 1968.
Add me!
“Today, we now know why they never showed Mahmoud that warrant — they didn’t have one."

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women
Unreal

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.
Two headlines in the New York Times today.
A farm worker harvesting green bell peppers in Coachella CA
A farm worker working in the dates in Coachella CA
The real #Coachella isn't a music festival. It's hard working farm workers who are out laboring to harvest crops. Farm workers like Cruz who shared this photo of the green pepper harvest and Salvador who shared this photo from the dates. #WeFeedYou
Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.
ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.
My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.
So many student visas have been revoked that Inside Higher Ed started mapping them
Just lectured about this the other day.
