I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.
God the gall of @jaketapper.bsky.social lecturing that Minneapolis small business owner about the meaning of the word "concentration camp" while people are being crammed into poorly resourced buildings by the thousands and shuttled off never to be heard from again

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).
Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

more people lived in the Maya lowlands than on the Italian peninsula during the peak of the Roman empire – all crammed into an area a third of the size

but the 1950s "law of environmental limitation” held that lowland rainforests, with thin soils, simply could not support large advanced societies…
Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong
For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

"Censorship" and "Not platforming something" are not remotely the same, and this infuriating insistence on conflating the two is why I had zero moral choice other than to leave Substack.

Thread. I really liked James Van Der Beek, but he supported RFK jr in the ‘24 election. His wife is a MAHA type health influencer. They moved to TX to a 36 acre ranch in 2020, and he’s worked steadily as an actor. He has two projects out this year. SAG insurance is very good.

Donald Trump is stripping critical public health funding with one goal in mind: harming states he doesn’t like.

It’s a slap in the face to Illinoisans.

We will not stand by idly as Trump illegally cancels the Congressionally-allocated funding we are owed.

The House just voted to repeal Trump’s Canada tariffs that drove up prices on cars, groceries, and energy bills. Republicans have been hiding from this vote for a year because they knew this was making your life more expensive.

No more hiding! This is the first vote to repeal Trump’s tariffs.

Won't you be my neighbor? ♥️

"We are all neighbors ...
We are all in this together.

The word I kept thinking about as I watched Bad Bunny’s joyous performance is a term that didn’t really exist on New Year’s Day 2026 yet has instantly provided a name to the current zeitgeist.

Neighborism."
How did Bad Bunny utter not one word about Trump or authoritarianism at the Super Bowl yet deliver the most power message in 60 years of the game?

Consistent with Project 2025, the Trump administration has managed to capture, commandeer, or corrupt every important social institution -- every important social institution except juries, that is. Project 2025 didn't have a plan for juries.
