In Edinburgh this Summer I pursued the lives of 18th CE Scottish weavers through multiple archives to uncover how the development of capitalism was perceived by their senses. More on that to come; here’s a blog post I wrote for students entering the archives. spark.asu.edu/three-tips-f...
This is the real American violence, and it’s not in LA
Press Secretary of Public Servant 47 who espouses faith in Jesus of Nazareth publicly hates her neighbors. #WhiteHouse #Homophobia

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect
It’s just shocking he got away with pretending a fucking street gang was an invading army for as long as he did.
One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.
Absolutely! I chose it for my North American History grad class under the topic “Life in the Early Republic.” I’ll be bringing it into conversation with Taylor, Rockman, and Ulrich!
“The American Liberty Pole: Popular Politics and the Struggle for Democracy in the Early Republic” by Shira Lurie
“An interest in the approbation of the people, and a strong sense of accountability to them, in all official conduct, is the only effectual security against abuses in those who exercise the powers of government.” (Primary source quote) This text is so timely @shiralurie.bsky.social
As someone directly affected by this, let me be clear:
I'd rather lose my job because Harvard chose to fight than keep my job and see a generation of white supremacists parade its corpse around like a war trophy.

Have yall found any more info on this? From the time I discovered it circa Saturday, two of the articles I had read were taken down.
Had my first breakdown yesterday over it. Not sure what to do with the feelings! What can any of us do right now?

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
