Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Right back at you! It was a good weekend for connecting with good people.
"If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after."
“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”
Judgment of the international Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, Germany.
5. The US economy’s dependence on AI may have been overstated, experts say. In 2025: it became conventional wisdom that AI was a major driver of growth. But some prominent economists estimate that it contributed as little as 0% to economic status
Aren’t we lucky that universities haven’t gotten carried away with the hype and taken a careful approach to AI?
Imagine if they had decided to push AI into our teaching and work life!
All praise to our leaders in higher ed for not falling for hype, hallelujah and praise the goddess
“The regents of Texas’s largest university system unanimously passed a policy Thursday setting “expectations of academic integrity and standards for teaching controversial topics” amid aggressive conservative pressure... The policy does not define “controversial.” Well, this policy is controversial.
Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused
Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.
Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.
Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.
Yep.
NEW: The @wired.com Security desk put together a comprehensive guide to filming ICE—with tips for reducing risk at the forefront. No paywall, but please consider subscribing to help find these kinds of resources. And stay safe out there. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Certainly appears moms with whistles won the Battle of Minneapolis.
Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Solidarity with all the folks in MN putting themselves out there for the good of us all.
Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

Parent and pediatrician here.
All vaccines are still available & recommended. Talk to your pediatrician for more info.
Know this: Even as our government shifts its recommendation language, I would never forgo the RSV, hepatitis A & B, or meningitis vaccines for my own kids.
SLAC historians coming to #AHA26: come join our pre-conference workshop on Thursday morning! We also have a Friday afternoon session on navigating times of crisis and an interactive Saturday morning session, "Hands-On History."
People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
Thrilled about this new grant we are offering for under-represented early career scholars. The first cycle is for scholars in history and area studies. Please spread the word widely. @universitypress.cambridge.org

Sending light and warmth on this longest night. ☀️
All I can say this morning is look for the helpers, like Ahmed.
“Seven News reported the bystander was a 43-year-old fruit shop owner from the Sutherland Shire named Ahmed.”
It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.
Everything about this is horrifying.

Today was rough (campus bs). But three of my students noticed I was off my game and brought me a giant cookie between classes. Solidarity takes many forms--and some of those are delicious. ✊🏻 🍪
We need to teach books BECAUSE students are so distracted. Sustained silent reading is the skill we're meant to be teaching!
