Nathan Cavanaugh Deposition in ACLS-AHA-MLA Lawsuit About the NEH, Part 1 of 6
Nathan Cavanaugh Deposition in ACLS-AHA-MLA Lawsuit About the NEH, Part 1 of 6 YouTube video by American Historical Association

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

Happy birthday to my dear friend, the great John Lewis.

John and I first met during a meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee on the campus of Morehouse College in 1960, and we were fast friends from that day on.

Learning of the passing of Jesse Jackson, a reminder his 1984 Rainbow Coalition speech at the Democratic National Convention should absolutely be taught in US history and US government courses! www.americanyawp.com/reader/29-th...

And even when we move at warp speed and outpace this regime, DHS doesn’t care. They’ve moved people to Texas hours or days after being enjoined.

When ordered to return them, DHS just… doesn’t. The AUSAs let them: when we notify them of a violation, they send the email equivalent of a shrug.

The World Cup Is Coming. Our Cities Must Protect Their People. Op-ed: As elected officials from U.S. host cities, we know that local governments are the last line of defense against human rights abuses during the FIFA World Cup.

Soccer belongs to everyone. But often, the institutions and elites behind the sport build walls where there should be open fields. We want to welcome the world — but not at the expense of our people and planet.

40 years ago, Phish performed an anti-Apartheid benefit. To celebrate and reminisce, we've interviewed Zenzille, who's still writing poetry, challenging authority, and celebrating African culture.

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

These notes about some of the distinctions I draw in order to do my work were written under the influence of two masters of the form: the French critic Roland Barthes, and the political philosopher Hannah Arendt, known for her striking distinctions— such as labor vs. work. 3/

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a 'hell no.' We cannot give one more penny to Trump's ICE while its masked, poorly trained agents terrorize people across this country. It's time for the Senate to step up and stop ICE's violence."
