OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

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.

I’m realizing just this very moment that I met you the very same year I met Brett, and that makes 2012(ish) all the more a perfect year in my memory.

Never forget one of Brett's most visionary contributions #ThanksBrett

So excited to see our #ACH2025 Care Fair going so well. What an honor to help create a space to bring people together to build community and explore new avenues for our advocacy @ach.bsky.social

The field of Digital Humanities has changed lives, transformed people and communities, and supported so much change, good change, in both the world and our profession. The efforts of ODH, under your direction, has shifted us all towards brighter, more equitable, futures. #ThanksBrett

At my first DH conference (2012?), I met @brettbobley.bsky.social in passing. From that quick, likely minute-long convo, I saw a generosity and a kindness that I've carried forward into my DH and personal life. Without the ODH, my world would be smaller and less brilliant. #ThanksBrett
