Tired of reading book proposals (and books) that claim an interpretation is “new” when it isn’t. How about reading widely first to see where that interpretation fits in the larger field? This used to be a given but the rush to publish has hurt us all.

NEW: Trump has announced that the US will admit the lowest level of refugees ever at 7,500 in FY 2026. The US will only be admitting as refugees White people from South Africa and "victims of illegal or unjust discrimination," which leaked memos suggest means far-right Europeans.

I wish half the attention that's being absorbed by the Nazi-tattoo guy and rape apologist in ME would be expended on the AK race instead.
Peltola, if she decides to run, has a real chance of taking a senate seat from Dan "Who?" Sullivan, a B-list Trump toady w/ all the charisma of a wet noodle.

The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration has been important to my scholarship as a historian of immigration. This administration is closing it down, the latest attempt to censor information that challenges the administration’s lies.

If you're looking for a concrete action to take today--and you're a Visa cardholder--take 2 min and send an email to them today. 👇
If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."
