We are thrilled to speak with Prof Mary Laven @marylaven.bsky.social about her research on the Italian #Renaissance (can we call it Italian? 🤔) and what it means to work closely with #museums as an historian. Check out our latest podcast episode ⬇️ open.spotify.com/episode/0QWb... #Skystorians

"After they had found that he was free, he carried the flag in the parade that they had when they found out they were free. He [remembered] how they rejoiced, and he was one that carried the flag. They had a parade. [...] They were all just rejoicing about this freedom." WOW! Chills. #skystorians 🗃️

Hi #skystorians, 🗃️, #academicsky, I've asked before: I am looking for a replacement for this excellent, but aging edited volume of social/cultural history of US Homefront in WWII. It's so good to use for textbook coverage in WWII classes. Is there something newer? press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

These are accounts from the City's Cash from the 1660-70s, offering incredible insights into City of London's finances. However, they're incredibly hefty! 📷 The London Archives, COL/CHD/CT/01/013 #Skystorians #History #EarlyModern

Hello #skystorians! Has anyone written anything on the Youth National Front in Britain in the 70s and 80s? Especially interested in anything that draws on sources written by YNF members themselves - Bulldog? I know about Matthew Worley's work. #histchild #histyouth

New in PN: "On Los Angeles Street where it meets the 101 freeway, I didn’t see anyone attacking police, nor did I hear orders to disperse. Like all riots, the matter of who started it remains, at best, an open question. But the police at the very least escalated things." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

I don't watch Fox News so I was genuinely surprised by my colleague Sophia's reporting on what's going on there. Terrifying, since pleasing the Fox hosts is a major fixation of Trump's. www.salon.com/2025/06/20/m...

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

It’s also a lie that there were zero border crossings; what he’s garbled here is that Border Patrol released zero people directly at the border, which is not the same as saying zero people were released because some people were transferred to ICE and then released.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride isn’t a party—it’s a protest. Today, that fight is still raging. Across this country, LGBTQ+ rights are under attack—books banned, healthcare denied, identities debated.  ✊🏽 Stand with us. Speak out. Celebrate Pride like lives depend on it—because they do.

And by “athletes” and they mean “cops.”

VIDEO: Trump's "big, beautiful bill" hides a massive tax loophole for billionaires that would practically pay them for "donating" money to pay for private school tuition of parents that may earn up to $500,000 per year - both increasing the deficit and weakening public schools. Here's how.

I also find this interesting. Like the guy who discovered that there isn’t any fraud at social security etc.

Sam Alito is such a nasty man! the two people on SCOTUS who were district judges (SS & KBJ) voted the other way!

Yeah, part of this is this is what the fifth generation of neoliberal acolytes. The problem is they are too late in the hype cycle of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism already trimmed all the “fat” in the administrative state three generations ago.

The Supreme Court's third decision is a 6–3 split, conservatives vs. liberals, in McLaughlin v. McKesson, with Kavanaugh writing for the court. This bad outcome further weakens the power of federal agencies, an ongoing project for the supermajority. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

“Company over nation.” Zuckerberg, a decade ago.

The Supreme Court's fourth decision is Diamond Energy v. EPA. By a 7–2 vote, the court allows fuel companies to challenge EPA regulations that let California set higher emissions standards for vehicles. Sotomayor and Jackson dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

“The fundamental civic unit in this nation is neighbor.”

Can't you see that this is a well-trained law enforcement official who's completed a rigorous physical and mental regiment? #HeIsEatingTheImmigrantChildren

Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE. But what worries me is that what we are witnessing is not the actions of an agency that believes it will ever be subject to meaningful oversight or legal authority ever again. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...

Trump's pardons of fraudsters and ripoff artists will cost victims and survivors of crime more than $1.3 BILLION in fines and restitution. He’s stealing from American taxpayers so that criminals can walk away.

NEW: Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth and leaders from OpenAI and Palantir have joined a detachment intended to make the US Armed Forces "force leaner, smarter, and more lethal."

Whoa. Spicy footnote from Justice Jackson, dissenting in the ADA case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Today the Supreme Court upheld the Promoting Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act which allows U.S. courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over the PLO in certain overseas terrorism cases. Alexander Perkowski and Lulu Mansour explained the backgroud to this case following oral arguments:

The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker had spiritual roots in a Christian movement whose leaders speak of demon-possessed politicians and that proved its ability to mobilize followers during the January 6 insurrection, Stephanie McCrummen writes.
