MikeβIβm on deadline, havenβt been on socials, but sure, feel free to transcribe and share. My remarks were off the cuff, but Iβll stand by what I said, how I said it.
Best to write history in the streets anyway.
Sadly, no. As you note, events are fast and publishing is slow, academic publishing even more so. The pace and extent of change is breathtaking right now. Publishing is waaay behind. All the best analysis I see is in online journalism and commentary.
Thanks! π Fully revised and updated 3rd ed. Will be out in February!

Still of Last Week Tonight. John Oliver is talking about an Oct. 8, 2021 ProPublica/WPLN investigation titled "Black Children Were Jailed for a Crime That Doesn't Exist. Almost Nothing Happened to the Adults in Charge."

First up was our 2021 investigation with @wpln.bsky.social about young Black kids in Tennessee jailed for a crime that doesn't exist:

Yes
Yeah. Totally sucks. Heading out the door right now to say goodbye to a friend who is pushing the eject button on the USA tomorrow morning.
So many causes to donate to these days. Hereβs another one Iβve just donated to: Annie Jump works hard for the trans community, help out with legal expenses related to a wrongful arrest if you can. gofund.me/a377021f
Reposting: this is a fundraiser to support costs associated with a protest, rally and kickoff for a grassroots community mobilization campaign at the Comptonβs Cafeteria historic site next weekend.
As a former Exec Dir of GLBT Historical Society I'm proud to see it join a lawsuit against the Trump regime contesting Exec Orders that seek to erase knowledge of trans lives in the past while deny opportunities for life to trans people in the present. Support if you can:

I joined more than 350 LGBTQIA+ historians in signing this letter protesting the government attempt to erase trans people from history by censoring the Stonewall National Monument website. Erasing a word does not erase our existence--now or in the past. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
