Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

4. He would be so mad.

Seems someone might want to make a scene tomorrow...

With a Trump visit to Clive, IA (Des Moines Metro area) tomorrow also, anyone hearing anything about this also?

Yessir.

Would like to see statistics regarding boosterism/campaigning/lobbying by communities for the tour's presence. I have a feeling at least a part, historically, has been communities that "do not play ball." It may be a lack of economic means to be competitive, regional politics, etc.

Just had to share a quick personal moment. Had a fun quick trip to St Louis this past weekend to pick up this little guy for my parents! Meet Teddy!

I had the privilege to meet Dean William Thomas years ago (many of our research topics overlapped) while he was the history department chair at UNL. I am sure historians/educators will find his team's U.S. legal history OER to be innovative & valuable.

Broken Heartland

Osha Gray Davidson wrote extensively on this plant and community's recruitment strategies...

For decades, locals resisted filling those jobs. As a result, Hormel, Cargill, & now JBS have recruited immigrants to work that facility.

My hometown & you are so right. These actions will not only destroy lives if those with revoked visas, it will devastate the local economy.

OpenAI moves deeper into schools via Canvas deal Teachers will be able to build custom chatbots to manage classrooms.

This is just so deeply troubling...

To be fair, this is the marketing/sponsorship model in almost everything anymore regardless of market (although certainly true in pro sports and perhaps, most visibly).

Essentially,

1. Do bad shit.
2. Rehab image/project values via sponsorship.
3. Repeat.

Tragedy at Giro Valle d’Aosta as Rafferty's team mate passes away after crash Team owner Axel Merckx said Samuele Privitera was the "life and personality" of the team, adding he was struggling to process the Italian teenager's death

I have to take issue with this headline! The tragic death of Samuele Privitera is the headline. Rafferty is not important here.

#RIP
