It is funny how CNN doesn’t know how to handle Mamdani’s victory 🤣😂 He gave an excellent speech and they are trying very hard to find ways to criticize him…

Can someone tell @npr.org they're not getting their funding back? This is not about a clash over the "drug trade." It's about the real possibility the US military murdered a civilian in Colombian waters.

Hi all,

I rarely do this, but I'm posting that I'm back on the academic job market.

As a Californian, my partner and I are trying to stay on the West Coast. Any leads for jobs in History, American Studies, Cultural Studies, etc. in the Western U.S. are greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Nathan
