Historians have a responsibility to fact check each other. We call it peer review which sounds fancier but that's what it is. Agreeing to peer review something you lack the knowledge or courage to correct or reject does real harm to Indigenous communities, Canada, and the United States.

Folks concerned about misinformation in David Frum's recent article in @theatlantic Global can respond with a letter to the editor or propose a more accurate piece to the Atlantic global editor. More is better.

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture. On the back of the photograph she wrote: “‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.” The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

"We're losing because there are always moments when we lose" is a lesson that Ta-Nahisi Coates understands intuitively, and that Ezra Klein has never had to, and that difference speaks volumes about American history.

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

Huntington's progression slowed by experimental gene therapy
An experimental gene therapy slowed Huntington’s by up to 75 percent in a small clinical trial. While not a cure, it may give patients longer lives.

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I've said this before, but IMO we need to spend less time OBSERVING that Trump is engaged in authoritarian corruption and more trying to use language to build pressure to stop it. Same with Tom Homan's bribe. Yes, it was a bribe. Who can we embarrass politically for letting it happen.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

🚨 Last night it was Jimmy Kimmel. This summer, Colbert. Authoritarians start by silencing comedians and critics. I am introducing a resolution condemning Trump’s attacks on free speech. This isn’t partisan: I urge Republicans & Democrats to cosponsor this urgent appeal.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Robby Starbuck & @robbystarbuck

To all college students: Record your classes if any discussion of Charlie Kirk comes up. Look up the social media pages of your professors and staff. If they celebrate Charlie's murder or create a hostile learning environment, DM me evidence.
I'll help.
