In A Promised Land, I recall my mother, Ann Dunham, teaching Maya and me about civil rights, poverty, and respect for others. She believed true power came from lifting people up, and that logic and progress would prevail over injustice. "The world is complicated—that’s what makes it interesting.

The government cannot stop you from informing others about their legal rights. Know your rights when educating your community.

Celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth with this selection of NEH grant-supported projects and resources! ow.ly/vg0r50V3rOc

I showed this page to my undergrads on Tuesday and asked them who and what can be objects of study according to the NEH. “Straight white men,” they all said as one. (And the media and most Dems still can’t call a racist Nazi a racist Nazi.)

NEH introduces new prohibited categories to comply with executive orders. This is an infringement of academic freedom plain and simple, and also nonsense: what is “discriminatory equity ideology”

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

Musk went straight to the slurs after being called out yet again for saying that astronauts have been stranded on the International Space Station by the Biden administration for “political reasons”—a lie that astronauts themselves have repeatedly debunked.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

It's a difficult time for making the world safe for human differences. But not doing so is cruel as well as short sighted relative to our own success as a business, community, nation, and species. #AnthroDay #ksleg marcelharmon67.substack.com/p/honoring-w...

What day is today? It's the World Anthropology Day 😍 And that means an opportunity comes again to enrich you with another salient quote from Marshall Sahlins, a recently deceased pillar of our discipline, who during his life created a school of social anthropology of his own! #edusky #academicsky 🏺

Recent gale force winds and high spring tides have brought a fair bit of Lego from the 1997 cargo spill to the surface. This haul was found by Liutauras and his family while picking up plastic from Whitsand Bay in Cornwall over the weekend.

If it looks like there are two different fonts on this clay tablet from ancient Babylon, that’s because there are. In December of 603 BCE, a young scribe named Balāṭa made a faithful copy of a far more ancient inscription of Sîn-Kashid who had ruled Uruk over 1,000 years earlier.
