It's Mel Brooks' 99th birthday, so let me recommend his autobiography ALL ABOUT ME, which is hilarious and filled with inside details on all his films.

A NYC candidate for mayor has called for reconsidering rent control in that city, while congressional Republicans are advancing a bill that would take a trillion dollars in health care away from working people all across America, but guess which one the pundits are all over right now?

The National Archives is full of old fossils. No, not the staff/visitors - I mean this report of mastodon remains found along the Ohio River, included as a brief annotation in this map of lands ceded in 1768 Fort Stanwix treaty. Either that or a REALLY big bison. #MastodonPosting CO 700/Virginia18

I'm a professor. We're not the 'elite' the powerful billionaires say we are.

We’ll be marching to the ICE field office in downtown LA on Saturday to demand the return of our students’ visas at 3pm, following the AOC/Bernie rally. I’ll be tabling at the rally, in case you want to say hi. All extremely welcome, including students and member of the public.

On Saturday, April 12 at 3pm, we are holding a march to the ICE Field Office in downtown LA. The meeting point for the march is the corner of Broadway and Temple downtown, not far from Gloria Molina Grand Park. The AOC/Bernie rally at Gloria Molina Grand Park will be
concluding around that time, so our idea is to make it convenient for people who had already planned to attend the AOC/Bernie rally, and also get some folks at that rally to join us.
We are inviting folks from many different universities in southern California to attend this march. If you have colleagues or friends at USC, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Cal State LA, Occidental College, Caltech, Loyola Marymount, etc., or any other college in the area, please forward them our flyer or this email and invite them.
