Tibor Schaechner, El Paso’s last living Holocaust survivor, died Tuesday at age 98. The Hungarian-born survivor escaped death several times under the Nazis and later urged future generations to “get up and fight for your rights.” elpasomatters.org/2026/09/30/t...

I have never bought on umbrella, and honesty wouldn't even know where to look. I'm convinced umbrellas run entirely on a barter economy.

I don't do much 9/11 posting, but I always think about Bretagne, the last surviving ground zero search and rescue dog. When they took her to be euthanized in 2016, first responders saluted as she entered the clinic. She was later carried out in a flag-draped casket. www.chron.com/news/houston...

Not to put this one person on blast but I find these sorts of takes really frustrating. China isn't guaranteeing anyone's shipping. China isn't able to guarantee *China's* shipping right now. The PRC responded to the War in Iran by reducing oil imports by roughly 40% and spending down reserves.

Why do Latinos work for ICE?
Half of border agents are Latino, and they are part of a long history of Hispanic support for – and enforcement of – harsh immigration policies

One reason academics resent AI is that while it absolutely CANNOT produce original research or analysis, but it can perfectly recreate jargon-filled, obtuse bullshit that so many of us pass off as scholarship.

Anti-ICE advocates rallied outside the DHS office near Cincinnati after Haitians losing TPS were summoned for mandatory check-ins. Protesters report officials are fitting people with ankle monitors and issuing new court dates. Community members stand united against these aggressive tactics!

It must be emphasized that we need powerful, robust ACADEMIC history IN universities to sustain history OUTSIDE universities. If we can’t employ people in higher ed to train future generations of public historians, we will not have future generations of public historians. 🗃️

The Trump administration’s anti-DEI snitching plan is getting flooded with fake reports after it tried to strong-arm federal workers into ratting out their colleagues.

Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.
Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.
