Map identifying the approximate regions where various Indigenous groups lived in North America in 1776.
The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...
This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.
Turbulent times where you are? Savor some still, placid beauty from Ambrosius Bosschaert, 1620. Today is his day.
Beautiful all year round: painted flowers in a basket (plus a few escapees, & insects) by Ambrosius Bosschaert of Middelburg, 1614. Today is his day.
It was an amazing panel! With insightful comments from the audience. I learned so much! We crowned the experience with an arepas lunch!!! #aha2026 #VenezuelanHistory @clahistorians.bsky.social
Ditto in the college application process.
“Teaching obligations,” please. As if he had no choice. The victimhood runs strong with this one. What an egomaniac. Harvard has no moral compass if they do not protect their students.
It is unconscionable that Larry Summers, a sexual predator of young academics by his own admission to a rapist of children, while still be teaching.
It has been a beautiful day among so many people who are energized to protect our democracy.

My cat eats mostly wet food and some Purina LiveClear kibble. This kibble stopped mild allergy symptoms fully for four people! It made a huge difference.
Definitely large language systems are neither intelligent nor hallucinate. We are owning ourselves by creating a powerful fiction.
I am a big tomato eater. Mostly agree with one exception: this variety grown using dry farming methods in California. Hard to explain how subtle, complex, and alive these tomatoes are.

I am a small donor and I have stopped looking at text messages completely other than to block them. Sad part is that there were two politicians that I liked to hear from, but not on a daily basis. Whoever gives the donor emails to every campaign has done a disservice to the party.
It is heartbreaking. The legislation to allow deported veterans to return keeps failing in Congress.

It used to be that a green card, for most practical matters, was as good as citizenship but without voting. The deported vets were still incredibly patriotic and were begging to come back to their families.
The immigration system has gotten increasingly punitive in the last 25 years. These green card veterans fell through the cracks. When I visited 8 years ago, they had VA-paid healthcare and the right to be bury in the US, but could never visited the country again alive.
It changed my view of green cards. I know that it used to be common to have green cards for decades, but now it sure is a big gamble. Before this administration, my advice to friends was to become a citizen as soon as allowed. Now, though, it is hard to tell if the government will act in bad faith.
I took a tour of the San Diego Tijuana border where we visited a center of deported veterans. Our guide mentioned that, as the immigration and criminal data began to converge, many longtime green card holders got unexpectedly deported with devastating consequences.
Only thing missing: our taxes are paying room and board to keep this person in a concentration camp.
Reading the letter, I just kept thinking: How low can you go? It was a modern struggle session. A mind-blowing endowment is not substitute to principles.

It is implicit in all your facts but it has to be said: -no clear is they will be freed in the foreseeable future.
Bonus fact: Unlikely as Bukele will be charging a sizable fee per keeping them incarcerated.
We can be better. I hope we as a nation choose to leave all the gratuitous cruelty behind soon. People like you and migrant organizations lead the way ❤️

So much bad faith. In addition to the usual, it occurs to me that some Venezuelans may be afraid of their country people. High crime rates, state repression, and the new paranoia of Tren de Aragua add up. A tragedy
Many Venezuelans in the US who have TPS support deportations. The line is: ‘There has been a mistake. We want the bad Venezuelans gone.’ Zero awareness that all of them are considered the bad ones.
💯. Consider also sitting with your boy and talking to him about his value to algorithms, gaming, white supremacy, misogyny, and racism. Tell him what you stand for and why. Never too early.
I have wrestled long with this issue, and will continue to. My stance is that I do not want to give up on the Venezuelan community in Twitter. There I support the opposition against Maduro and Trump, tackle vaccine disinformation in Spanish, and promote scholarship on Venezuelan history.
