BREAKING: We're suing Texas A&M over the university system’s unconstitutional censorship policy. Administrators are canceling or restricting courses that discuss race, gender, and sexual orientation. Public universities are meant for sharing knowledge — not banning it.

Need to have some frank talk about #Yale President McInnis, General Counsel Alexander Dreier and the trustees. First, they keep saying that they are compelled to enter into a settlement with the #Trump administration. Untrue. 1/

Great news on the freedom of speech/honest history front. JP Bryan’s specious lawsuit against the @historians.org and Carlos Blanton has been tossed. /1 file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/8715AB9F-B356-40AB-B248-EBCBE4CC21C0/tmp/2026-07-30%252cReversedandRemandedOpinio1B8.pdf

My kids have measles, I can’t afford gas or steak, I’ve got explosive diarrhea, and there was glass in the last batch of Pillsbury rolls I ate. But at least now, Ross Douthat is on 60 Minutes.

we may have a self awareness problem here

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

A dementia added old man who watches too much Fox News and who is saddled with angst about the fact that he never earned or shared real love with anyone is yelling about exactly what you think he would be yelling about right now.

LIKE TRUMP/MILLER, ALL ICE AGENTS ARE LOSERS! Many are scared racists, White Nationalist ”Patriot Front, KKK, Proud Boys, Boogaloo Boys, Neo-NAZIS; too full of Trump’s fear/hate/lies to know that THEY’re the true criminals, NOT the innocent families they destroy. Some are just soulless opportunists.

Very pleased to appear in the new issue of the Journal of Texas History. My small piece is a bit of a rumination on a strange and moving item that appeared in the Galveston Daily News on September 16, 1900, eight days after a hurricane nearly destroyed the city. mavmatrix.uta.edu/journaltexas...

My latest is about the stunning evidentiary weakness of the White House’s anti-woke report on the National Museum of American History. If it had blue sealant it would peel. The shoddy workmanship in Trump’s 250 commemorations never stops! newrepublic.com/article/2128...

I Fact-Checked Trump’s Anti-Woke Report on the American History Museum

The document is notably short on evidence—and at odds with what I witnessed during a visit to the museum this week.

Updated with a statement from Drawn & Quarterly: Professor Rachel Hope Cleves wants Walden's CHARITY & SYLVIA licensed as an adaptation

"It's over, right?" a journo asked me this morning about the birthright citizenship case. No. No legal or political result is final unless the losing side gives up fighting. They will try again. New prez, new judges. There's a social movement based on racial grievance + scapegoating immigrants.

Second apparently this was a close case for this Court. As it stands the decision is 6-3. In 1898 the Court’s decision protecting birthright citizenship, Won Kim Ark v. U.S., was 6-2. That means this SCOTUS is either on par w/or to the right of the 1898 Court - the same SCOTUS that decided Plessy!

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · last mo.

The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's attack on birthright citizenship. By a 5–4 vote, it holds that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born of unauthorized and temporary immigrants. Roberts and Barrett join the three liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Holy fuck the fact that it's only 6-3 is as sure as a sign as anything that the court is broken

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

extremely proud to have published this article on the first Juneteenth celebration, in the great city of Houston, by the Pulitzer-prize winning historian Caleb McDaniel. www.alliancefortexashistory.org/juneteenth?f...

ICE is a domestic terror group unwelcome in Chicago. Chicagoans want their immigrant neighbors to be left in peace.

More than two dozen people arrived to face federal agents in five different unmarked vehicles with aftermarket emergency lights. One agent had a Jerusalem cross sticker on the back of his phone, a Christian symbol dating to the Crusades that more recently has been associated with white supremacy.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

well, I done made it into print in the latest column from the Texanist, my favorite @texasmonthly.bsky.social feature.

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

FDR’s Fireside chat on March 9, 1937 explaining his proposal to expand the Supreme Court stands up surprisingly well. “We have reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself.”/1
