If any of my medieval and early modern scholars here on bsky are interested, I have organized a panel on how Cistercian and Monastic Culture appears in Contemporary Media for the International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo next year. icms.confex.com/icms/2027/pr...

SOMEONE found something nice to say about Lindsey, which itself says a lot.

It's almost like no one should have that much money.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

in conclusion, yes, I would be better off in every way if I didn't have a smartphone

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?

Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

Thinking this is wrong and untenable isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t, is.

With the announcement of Trump's new phone, perhaps people should think about boycotting T-Mobile, the company that is enabling the grift.

Democrats: "What Booker did is just a stunt." YES. TRY MORE STUNTS.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Chuck, they are already destroying vital government. Acquiescing to the CR just gives them more cover, as they continue to destroy it. Learn something from Mitch. Resist don’t capitulate.

Primary @schumer.senate.gov.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

@schumer.senate.gov Just going to add to the chorus, and confirm it is reprehensible that you plan to vote for cloture. You have no spine.

NEW: Biggest Federal Employee Unions Says Shutdown is Preferable to Elon/Trump CR talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bigge...

Every single Ways & Means Republican voted today to block transparency and protect DOGE's access to your sensitive information. Why are they so afraid to defend the rule of law and stand up to President Trump and Elon Musk?

🔥 WATCH: “WHERE’S ELON MUSK?? If he found so much waste and fraud, why isn’t he here explaining it? You know why… because he’s out to privatize social security.” Rep Larson lights up the DOGE con in committee.

There is no emergency, let the tax cuts expire. Raise taxes on billionaires.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
