"Haiti: Acknowledging a French injustice." "President Macron has made a significant gesture by publicly admitting that forcing Haiti to pay an exorbitant indemnity to recognize its independence had subjected it to the 'unjust force of history.'" Good read. No paywall. www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

Apparently some Americans are avoiding traveling to Canada because they fear they will not be welcome. If you are one of the loud mouth MAGA crowd, it’s likely best you stay away. If you are one of the sane ones, just put a “FUCK TRUMP” sign in your car window when you cross the border. Open arms!

A fascinating end to this illuminating mini-series. While many of the events of the Troubles are hazy in my memory, like the Brighton bombing and the hunger strikes, I remember exactly where I was on April 19, 1998, when the Good Friday agreement was announced, the day before my 22nd birthday.

I say this to PhD students a lot. Not even from a training perspective -- although it's good advice! -- but because I've often repurposed material I've reluctantly cut from one article to begin another, or found a conference paper from five years ago and used it as the basis of a lecture, etc etc.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price

List of countries not subjected to tariffs: Russia Belarus North Korea Cuba They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

Not only did the president of Tufts University provide an excellent and strong declaration in support of a motion filed by Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team in federal court. He providing an illuminating timeline of events around when she was seized by ICE. Sunil Kumar's declaration is worth reading!

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago. The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-g...

Small thing to do for your visa/green-card grads rn. Make sure they collect the numbers of several trusted senior faculty and family/friends. Then teach them how to set up an action button that texts everyone at once with one button/Siri. Share location enabled. www.google.com/search?clien...

I do think it would be more productive to admit we are in an authoritarian state right now, and that courts are fighting that, and that we need to fight that.
