The front page of the proofs for my forthcoming book on citizenship in the French Revolution, Citizens of a New Enlightened Age: The French Revolution and the Idea of Citizenship

Proofs now in: very pleased to be able to announce that my first book will come out this summer with @degruyterbrill.bsky.social! I argue that the French Revolution and the First Empire witnessed a depoliticisation of the concept of citizenship, and this still affects the way we understand it today

I don’t think Trump is going to convince people who didn’t get big tax refunds that they got big tax refunds. On some subjects, lies don’t work no matter how often you tell them.

Hegseth claims that with the exception of Gulf allies, "other allies have talked a lot and haven't done anything"

(in short, he's slagging NATO and Asian countries like South Korean and Japan)

I'm sorry to be missing it! #FOMO! But looking forward to #BATW this weekend.

i think people have forgotten that vance is quite possibly the least experienced person to *ever* serve as vice president of the united states

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are:

1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled)

2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”

Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner are reminders that Democrats need to stick to their principles or face consequences

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Doctors Without Borders calls Gilead 'unconscionable' for refusing to sell HIV prevention drug to organization The move came after months of talks in which Doctors Without Borders asked Gilead Sciences for a “limited” supply of lenacapavir.

“We have long challenged Gilead’s pricing practices, but their outright refusal to sell lenacapavir is deeply troubling,” Doctors Without Borders officials wrote in an open letter…It also called the restrictions “unconscionable,” given public funding contributed to the development of the medicine”

Opinion | Is Trump Threatening to Commit a War Crime?

The website for the Museum of Protest includes chatbot bubbles reading "Planning your own activism-related activities? Ask me for information based on our published guides" and "Feel free to also ask about our collection or how you can contribute your own items."

Seen a lot of inappropriate AI chatbots, but the Museum of Protest's deserves special mention.

U.S. allows Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba, breaking Trump’s effective blockade The administration had threatened to punish countries that attempted to break the blockade, which was aimed at weakening the communist government.

What Trump has been doing to Cuba is unconscionable. He's singlehandedly forced the island into a humanitarian crisis over recent weeks.

An American president can’t be given carte blanche to threaten hostile takeovers of other nations and sow mass chaos around the world. (1/2)

Abolish ICE

NEW: ICE Raided Children's Dorms at Dilley and Confiscated Their Letters. I'm Suing to Get Them Back. In our latest lawsuit, MSW Media is demanding children's letters confiscated by ICE agents, and the Office of General Counsel memo authorizing warrantless home entry.

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

They’re absolutely conditioning us to having ICE around before they start putting ICE at polling places
