NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”
Am I teaching one of these Rapid Response lectures on the manipulation of Ancient History in America today? Yes, I am. Am I proud of our history department? Absolutely. history.uiowa.edu/research/pub...
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

🐎! Since you started posting I introduced it to a few folks in the family and we play every day. That's a great time and all green!
Seriously though, skip the pre-bottled. Get the packets and use sour cream.
Make the No Boy Kibble pledge today
What's up? Well, Bluesky (since you asked), I just went through a pretty jankety login process
I assigned this for my environmental problems seminar last week. I was happy with how it was received! It really helped the students visualize the kinds of change we want to talk about this spring.
Appreciating the Apollo 11 launch one frame at a time?

BREAKING: 4 students at the University of Minnesota are currently chained to Morrill Hall, demanding that their school end all cooperations with ICE and establish itself as a sanctuary campus.
Hang in there
If you won't listen to us, maybe you'll listen to this horse.
Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist
This is fantastically relevant to my interests. I did grad research on Herodotus’ cultural reception of India, and this spring I’m teaching People and Nature

Seriously, people need to get a grip
do you all have a moment to discuss the Good News of seitan
Really glad i wrote the anti-dystopia essay before all this because I don’t think I could have taken myself seriously enough to do it now but it only feels more essential.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
A bird is singing on a crabapple tree in winter. In the second panel we see the bird is an evening grosbeak who says "What a gorgeous day!". The following panel he says "Why can't every day be like this" And in the final panel looks very upset.

“Hate Has No Home Here” was a good choice I guess
