Important interview with UNC-AAUP President Michael Palm: “There is widespread reluctance to come to UNC due to political interference…There’s unquestionably a chilling effect when faculty are less confident in freely researching the subjects of their choosing.” 👇👇👇

One of our earliest civil rights statutes was designed to protect us against masked gangs who violate our constitutional rights. This particular history makes the masked ICE gangs uniquely repugnant. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Just went looking for something at the excellent Hagley Digital Archives, and was greeted by the message below. They're being overrun by bots, as "AI systems increasingly target sites like ours to train machine learning models." The web is being murdered. So aggravating. digital.hagley.org

(1/3) Stolen Relations has been launched for a month! Thanks to the hard work of hundreds of partners and researchers, stolenrelations.org currently has records of upwards of 7,000 individuals and many pieces of art and storytelling that help to flesh out the stories of unfree Indigenous people.

I think this is an excellent point. What should have been dropped from the nominees that year? Probably The Fabelmans in my book. #WakandaForever #HATM

And that’s a wrap for Historians at the movies this week! Thanks everybody for coming out to make it a great night. Stay tuned for next weeks announcement, and remember, #HATM is a community. A family. Take care each other out there. (I had to sneak red guardian in here somehow.)

I am writing a book about mass shootings in Colorado in the 1990s and I have been working on it for years, and I just found a whole new mass shooting I hadn't known about before. There are so many that they can still pop out of the archive and surprise me

Oh, hell yeah! Our host, @herberthistory.bsky.social will be back next week and it looks like we will finally be doing Prey. Don’t quote me on that though. I’m not all that good with the clues. 😂 #HATM

Maybe 3 things? 1. Creating space for educators and scholars on social media. 2. Wakanda and architecture as ideas 3. Teaching the history of racial violence, inspiring Spike, Ibram, & Nikole.

#HATM Love the connecting threads at the end of this story, but the Nakia/ Shuri moment was absolutely legendary.

#HATM Major complaint. No MCU film comes close to showing Wakanda as a real military power. Christopher Priest, Reginald Hudlin, and Ta-Nehisi Coates need to be respected more.

So there is a theory that the purple is a reference to dark magics, but is that what Shuri is doing? She's not following the traditional way, circumventing it in degrees, and then this confrontation with Killmonger is a reiteration of that circumvention. #HATM gamerant.com/mcu-purple-m...

#HATM How do you confront profound and devastating failure in a moment when f desperation? And then, can you avoid surrendering to rage and abuse of power?

#HATM This scene established Namor as a powerhouse. And I will always despise him for this attack.

#HATM Bracing myself. This sequence of escape, then retribution, highlighted with elements of Hurricane Katrina left my opening night audience screaming in shock and disbelief. It was worse in the comics, but TChalla will always need to put the knife where belongs … even in the MCU.

Namor calls himself a mutant, and that is not the first time we heard the phrase in the MCU, they slowly started introducing it after Marvel re acquired the rights for the “X-men” when Disney purchased Fox. We will get a full blown X-Men introduction the MCU soon,not just multiverse. #HATM
