I was on a panel last year evaluating book proposals/grant applications in the American history segment of the NEH's public scholar program. I read and recommended support of some superb book ideas. Worried the program will be ended by Tr*mp+M*sk. #PublishingIn2025 #NonFiction #Grants #Reading

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.
The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Take this, Trump White House! #blocked
Hi @bcdreyer.social—wanted to be sure you get to see these good boys, the in-residence dogs of a popular Syracuse, NY hardware store that after 79 years in business is—sadly for many of its patrons—closing. The dogs will be much-missed, as well, as they made the store a fave stop for many locals.
The extraordinary work of photojournalist Michelle Gabel: Final days of City Hardware in Syracuse, classic spot famed for rescue dogs that roam aisles. Owner John Calley will be part of first downtown hardware store in a long time, opening next year. My column:

This is the beauty of BlueSky. No-one will be force-fed this via algorithm. Trolling draws blocks rather than amplification.
By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Three reasons for hope from @vermontgmg.bsky.social:
1. People — There are more of us than there are of them.
2. History — America’s progress has always been imperfect.
3. Actuarial — Trump won’t last forever, which means “Trumpism” will fall.

This weekend's "No Kings" rallies stand as an important corrective amid a dark moment

Took some small pleasure in blocking the Tr*mp White House's shiny new Bluesky account, which tens of thousands of people are dunking on tonight here. I wonder, who thought it was a good idea for them to come on here? Hey, friends, you can do it, too! For blocking: @whitehouse-47.bsky.social
