Standing in a long line for a bathroom in a building lobby during the '17 DC Women's March, elevator doors opened next to us, Catherine Keener beckoned us inside, took us to a vacant floor of the building, told us to pass the location on after we used the bathrooms, waved & the elevator doors closed

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to "return control of the California National Guard" to CA Gov. Newsom, finding that Trump's order taking control was illegal because it did not follow the required procedure. The order is stayed until noon Friday. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Seeing the ref working to get the media almost to, "Didn't Padilla kind of ask for it really?" I'm pondering the double standard Democrats must constantly navigate. And as much as I attack their sometimes hapless responses to events, it's rarely conceded as a very real factor in the press.

These lovely handmade notebooks are currently on sale and 50% of the proceeds are being donated to REBUILD which really needs funds. Pick up a notebook and support a great program. www.blackbirdletterpress.com/limited-edit...

I write about a violent massacre (there were many) after the Civil War in which Southern Democrats massacred the properly elected Republican sheriff and his Black allies. When the governor sent reinforcements, they sided with the former slavers, "liberating" the people from anti-slavery rule.

a real list of summer reading recs from my very own cousin Mhairie, whom I can personally confirm is an extremely good recommender of books "This list is based mostly on vibes and you aren’t getting that kind of humanity from anything AI, I don’t care what level of intelligence it supposedly has."

Bluesky’s lack of a central algorithm and pretty-robust content filters also means that people can feel pretty confident about using the site today without having to scroll past air crash gore: this is a marketing point.

I look forward to the both sides framing of Senator Padilla being assaulted by ICE Agents for trying to asking Kristi Noem questions during her press conference. It's going to be a wild night.

Yes. We need to say this more. When they say "we don't know" they need to be hit with "why not? Are you incompetent? Are you claiming incompetence?"

It feels so weird to be sitting here filing paperwork & doing stuff that might lead to good things in my personal life while scrolling through current events. As an historian I get that the majority of people just live their lives while Historical Things happen but, like, I have to prove I graduated

Impeach Noem right now. I don’t care if it fails. The refusal to act now is lost forever. It’s on the house to act, and any one of them can do it.

And here is what is actually happening. Cops ejecting a US Senator from a news conference. The regular media determining whose voice is heard. Huge props to Senator Padilla. More of this.

"We need answers now" is such a deeply weird reaction to this. Answers to what, Chuck? What even are the questions? Are there "answers" that could make this OK, Senator? What are you and your conference going TO DO about this aside from demanding answers to unasked questions?

Randomly remembering when the FBI asking nicely for months and then finally searching Mar-a-Lago in plain clothes when they were sure Trump wasn’t there was the biggest outrage in history.

A functioning Congress would unanimously impeach and remove Noem, at minimum

Shut down the Senate. While you still have the members free to do it.
