all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Such an incredible pleasure to have many Muybridge glass plate images and photographic prints in the collection where I work. They are so immediate. The movement feels visceral and raw. You feel the discovery and newness of his process.

Next year, I wish for all of us to be able to access places that feel like home, with greater peace and safety. Chag sameach. #HappyPassover

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.

Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.

Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

"Stop overreacting, they're never going to do that."

Hey everybody, I have the only correct take on cursive discourse, which is that we should teach all the kids how to read it so they can interpret primary sources and fancy script, and the weird ones will immediately go off and teach themselves how to write it, and then everyone will be happy.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

"nobody is doing anything" remains a lie meant to soothe the person saying the words. It's not true. YOU may not be doing anything but a lot of people are.

No, I got the shot and it has completely fucked me up. It’s a side effect. Jury’s out on whether it will still kick in.

I’m at a week out from my lumbar steroid injection, actually worse than before the shot, and basically can’t walk. Definitely losing it daily. (That cat brush thing sounds like it really hurt!!! Damn!)

Jews are targeted in shuls & online.

Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.

Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.

Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.

Trans & queer people are being outlawed.

We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

This is just what we assumed. That ICE’s actions are horrific, abusive, illegal, and racist as fuck.

Leading NYC Jewish groups raise ‘deep concerns’ over Mamdani’s latest extremist associations UJA-Federation of New York called Mamdani’s recent gatherings with Mahmoud Khalil and Abdullah Akl a betrayal to his pledge to battle antisemitism

We need to stop accepting that these are "leading Jewish groups." They are not democratically accountable to the majority of American Jews, and I suspect the majority of NYC Jews do not care if Mamdani shares iftar with Mahmoud Khalil. I certainly do not! jewishinsider.com/2026/03/mamd...

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Unfortunately, it’s bad guys all the way down

Lionel Hutz from the simpsons editing a business card which reads "PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST - NO MORE FOREVER WAR" to read "PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST? NO, MORE FOREVER WAR"

still remember the "it's too early/hyperbolic/irresponsible to compare these guys to Nazi Germany" Reasonable Posters - whom, I imagine, are waiting for the renovations to be completed before they update their priors

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

No concentration camps. Migration is a human right.

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

A new statement from Epstein survivors:

"Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Large brick wall with a tiny white signat the base of the wall that says "Slavery was real"

"Slavery was real"

Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington.

Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Murderers, kidnappers, fascists, liars, and racists. They think they can hide our founding stories and paint over them like a cheap house flip.
