I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

For DH/historian friends closer to my home state, especially—I can vouch for the delights of spending several years in the ‘burg, as well as visiting there….
OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

Something I didn’t know at the time, & wish more knew now:
“The point is that both Hitler and Stalin held out promises of stability in order to hide their intention of creating a state of permanent instability.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.
But since she asked,
"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

The strikes on Iran are blatantly illegal. I explained in June why the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were unlawful under US and international law. Everything I wrote then is true today, but this is a far larger assault with far graver consequences.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”
Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.
Lawrence O’Donnell led w/ it last night on MSNow—
Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room
This one hits hard.
I went down the Anne Neville rabbit hole when writing my MeToo piece for Shax Survey…not sure I’ve ever emerged:) Mind you, far from the 1st 14/15th-c. rabbit hole I’ve ended up in (ah, history plays), & can’t say I regret any of the journeys—tho’ still mainly mystified….

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
Oh, I like her 😊
Rep. James Talarico talks to Stephen Colbert on the YouTube-ONLY segment of The Late Show.

Remembering how important Rev. Jesse Jackson was in my early decades, laminated on my high school notebook, marching w/him from Columbia through Harlem protesting apartheid, & being part of the Rainbow Coalition: he kept hope alive. “I am…somebody! I may not be rich, but I am…somebody!” A hero. 🫡👏🏻❤️🙏
My sister ended up an honors History grad there after some rocky HS yrs, many yrs ago when I was last in Tiffin—hadn’t realized the connection til now. Brava, & how lovely!
$1 billion is an annual $100,000 salary for ten thousand years.
$780 billion is an annual $100 MILLION salary for almost eight thousand years.
No one is worth this. Tax breaks, wage theft, and not paying for what you steal from the planet is where is money came from.
Congratulations to my friends in #Portugal: so heartening to read good news!
An incredible last WaPo story from one of the finest tech journalists out there, @nitasha.bsky.social, whose work I always read and (most importantly) always trust.
He should have stepped down years ago—before denying tenure to my former student, a brilliant scholar/teacher there, no doubt because she didn’t bring enough revenue from his perspective…corruption has so many dimensions….
The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
Meanwhile this guy just does his job every day
