one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

Huge news: Jordan Acker, who infamously pushed state to prosecute UM student protestors, loses bid for re-election to UM Regents. The winner: Amir Makled, who provided pro bono legal support to those same UM students. Enormous victory for the Palestine/student solidarity movement.

RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE: Grand Finale - Tom + Lorenzo Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race: Condragulations to Juicy for winning the Lalaparuza Smackdown, an episode that seems increasingly designed to resist

Condragulations to the winner, but man, that was one stale #DragRace finale. Our recap of the canned laughter and perfunctory staging:

Lindsey fought like hell against Cuomo and for Mamdani and was the first person I saw clearly explain ranked choice voting during the primary. She shows up at the rallies and marches I shoot and clearly gives a damn about this city. Not my district, but I'm keeping a close eye on this one!

@lindseyboylan.bsky.social is running for City Council in District 3. Not my district, but if it were, I'd vote for her. Here's a thread with some reasons why. (tl;dr: she shows up.)

John Roberts has destroyed the Voting Rights Act, ended affirmative action, implemented the unitary executive, used the shadow docket to further GOP interests, changed the first amendment to transform free exercise into religious supremacy, and end the establishment clause. Hubris all the way down.

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity Great swathes of rock music since the nineteen-sixties would never have existed, we're sometimes told, were it not for the recordings of Robert Johnson. Certainly the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Cla...

Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...

I appreciate this model for being a researcher so much. It's why I don't care if someone thinks I spend too much time on the impacts of my work or listening to what students and activists tell me are problems with higher ed.

Every billionaire who's conspired to violate the law and the Constitution with this regime -- their businesses get nationalized, their assets seized. They lose everything. Literally the rings off their fingers and the watches off their wrists get taken away.

Every single lackey who's carried out his illegal orders. Every single creep who's helped break the law by not properly releasing the Epstein files. Every minor functionary who's helped ICE and CPB violate the Constitution.

They lose every asset, every single dollar. Financially annihilated.

All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached and removed from the Supreme Court.

Every college and university is trending in the same direction in ways students largely hate and pretending it is necessary to be ‘competitive.’

Incredible thread!

Yeah why would the Clean Air Act have intended to change how we generate electricity that's like totally unrelated

Add Roberts to the impeachment list

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word, life. It means forever, and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else: The afterworld. A world of never-ending happiness. You can always see the sun, day or night."

ponernos a prueba y descubrir de qué somos capaces de hacer solos en la “pista de baile”, por lo demás reminiscencias de la música disco 🪩, trance, Donna Summer y su “I Feel Love”, “Future Lovers”, “Erotica” y “Justify My love”.

“I Feel So Free” de #Madonna “Confessions 2” es un tema ambient-techno-house, que da comienzo a este disco de la mano del reputado productor Stuart Price, es como el prólogo de una historia que nos suena, adentrarse en la oscuridad de la noche, de nosotros mismos,

Madonna Shares New Single "I Feel So Free": Listen A couple of days ago, Madonna confirmed her long-teased plans to release a new album called Confessions II this summer. The new album is the sequel to her 2005 LP Confessions On A Dance Floor, the las...

The Madonnaissance has begun! It took me a couple listens to get into the track but now I loooove it. It's not the first single, which I'd bet will be bigger and hookier. Instead it's the opening track, serving tantalizing come-with-me vibes. Headphones recommended.

Just heard a report in The World about Cape Town's Muslim community. (Dates back to the 1650s.) It was oppressed under apartheid & remains marginalized in democratic South Africa. Gentrification, a curse in so many places, threatens its literal centrality in a city it did so much to create.

Queer and Trans Histories of Disability A few years ago, I decided to teach a course titled Queer and Trans Histories of Disability during a stint as a visiting lecturer at Mount Holyoke College. I created the class, in part, as an opportun...

Review # 13 of "Disability Works" is out in GLQ. A thrill to be reviewed by Rachel Corbman in this essay on Queer and Trans Disability History alongside Kunzel's fabulous "In the Shadow of Diagnosis" and Whatcott's "Menace to the Future" (which I look forward to reading!).

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Marc Galanter. A foundational law and society scholar whom my students at all levels read every semester. Condolences to all who knew him.
