Brian at the keyboard just to be comfortable but he’s not playing at all.

Talking with Rep. Munira Abdullahi about her journey to Hamilton, Ohio, and her encounter with Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones while checking on a constituent who had been abducted by ICE in Franklin County.

My lecture tomorrow at La Sapienza is in Italian but I’m reposting in English in case of interest in a curious but immensely important moment in the history of Platonism, namely Cardinal Cusanus’s evaluation of Pseudo-Dionysius Platonism through his readings of Plato and Proclus.

More Herculaneum carbonised papyrus scroll decipherment. Excellent news for Epicureans and really interesting to see how fast the decipherment of these once unreadable objects is progressing: www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing.  But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

In case you’re interested me speak at Plato’s Academy in Athens next week, here are the details: historyofphilosophy.nd.edu/news-events/...

I cannot tell you how much I love this. 👏👏👏👏👏

Just a gentle reminder that you NEED to all be ACTIVELY recording every moment of the No Kings Protest. It's important that nobody is violent. If you see ANYONE being violent you discourage it and disassociate yourself. They WILL insert violent actors to justify their violence.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

This is what happened in Pasadena a couple of days ago Fuck ICE Fuck Racism Fuck Fascism 🥓🐷🥓

ICE TRIED TO ROLL OUT IN Manhattan-New Yorkers said "NAH" AND SENT THEM BACK INSIDE!!

Good man

O man O man do I miss being alive at the same time as this cat…

Disability justice is a very hard thing to advocate for Disability will happen to almost everyone, so it’s in their best interest to help But people are terrified of disability & desperate to believe they’ll be the exception So they treat us appallingly. They don’t “get it” until it’s their turn

All these nations with stark raving madmen deciding their fate.

Republicans are back being oldtime redneck Segregationists.

Hey hivemind, is there a charity you're aware of that is collecting to support Indigenous communities affected by the wildfires? Red Cross is doing general wildfire relief fundraising but looking for something more targeted atm.

This morning Daniel Hodges @semperwry.bsky.social and I filed a lawsuit against the Architect of the Capitol for their failure to comply with Congress' law to install the January 6th plaque

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

A line-up on TV reminds me of when I was asked to be on a line-up. In those days there was no one way mirror and the witness was asked to identify the suspect who robbed the till at his shop. The witness came in and said “I don’t know why we’re doing this, I know him, he was in my class at school.”

Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

Some lovely news. @uclpress.bsky.social has just had its 20 millionth open access download. And the download in question was Structural Injustice and the Law, edited by @vmantouvalou.bsky.social and myself. uclpress.co.uk/book/structu...

RIP Harris Yulin. Fine actor, great guy - I met him a few times - the kind of actor who was (and is) in everything.

Trump’s alive, Brian Wilson is not? The Universe has a lot to answer for today.

Breaking: President Trump plans to quarter deployed Marines in LA homes without the owners' consent in a bid to be the first President to violate every Amendment of the Constitution.

This cat saved my life. No one had ever written and recorded a song about his own room. This was stunning for its day - wholly original - and it is still a great song and a true one.
