Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.

Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.

All Black. All doing their jobs.

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

Thrilled to have galleys of my book in hand! Final corrections & index pending. Please consider preordering, gifting, & teaching. Via the archive, interviews & more I show how the crisis we face now reflects failure to listen & act on the democracy Black folks have envisioned, but we still can.

WE (The City of Indianapolis) paid $1.2 million in a NO BID CONTRACT

To a Mayor Hogsett donor/ real estate developer for a "report"

that the city WON'T release to press 🤧😂😂😂

Hogsett allies routinely benefit from no-bid city contracts
On the campaign trail a decade ago, the mayor said no-bid contracts should ‘never be the default.’

City will win the league. Yet to see a performance this season to convince me we can win it. But Arteta will keep his job and we’ll play the same uninspired, cautious style next season. We should just accept who we are right now. Lol. #ARSUTD bsky.app/profile/arse...
That was horrible from Arsenal. As soon as their first goal went in, we went to pieces.

Barely a single player in red and white did themselves justice today, the subs made no difference (bar Merino), and that was a performance that did nothing but undermine our title credentials.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

They should hear what the students call her. It ain’t MVP.
Of course, there's no mention of the 200+ degree programs she cut or consolidated to help pay for this historic football win (by tripling the football budget).

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

The back stacks of Houghton Library were filled with boxes of un/barely cataloged c19th pamphlets. Many of boxes have something written on them thematically like "spirit mediums."

The message here is the coolest things that wont be digitized, IME, are unknown to the archivists too!
Archivists/librarians please share the coolest thing in your collections that will never be digitized.
I live in the heart of California gold country. One of the richest mines ever in CA is nearby. Opened circa 1860 closed 1942. A local foundation has preserved the records on site. I know not a stitch has been digitized and am confident no more than 2 pro historians have ever been in there.

*laughs in archivist* anyone who thinks it's all been digitized is out of their goddamn mind. We don't have the staff, resources, or digital infrastructure to digitize, store, check, and maintain at preservations standards a digital copy of every single item in our collections.
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.
