Everton are fifth and unbeaten after a 1-0 Ipswich win. Not convincing, but Barry grabbed his chance, Dibling argued for more minutes (and that's five clean sheets). We've turned James's live chat into a short podcast: linktr.ee/THEBLUEFRONT...

PRESTON NORTH END ⚪ 0-4 🔵 EVERTON What is this feeling? The Toffees with a comfortable, dominant Cup win against lower league opposition. Theirno Barry with a monster night (3G, 1A) alongside many other standouts. Thoughts on that result Blues?
FT ~ 🔵2-0 🦅 Everton opens the new campaign with a win and a clean sheet against Crystal Palace. Controlled the second half, and goals from Dewsbury-Hall and Barry are the difference. Thoughts?
I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it. From Reuters, published on the Guardian website.
“I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” ~James Baldwin, 1955. Image: Ulf Anderson/Getty Images.

An excellent performance from Everton as they record their biggest win over Chelsea since 1987. A brace from Beto and a wonderful finish from Iliman Ndiaye condemn Chelsea to their fourth successive defeat in all competitions.
FULL TIME EVERTON 3-0 CHELSEA A fantastic evening at the Hill Dickinson, the Toffees mercilessly put the London visitors to the sword. INSTANT MATCH REACTIONS, GO! 🔵
There's a good reason people in positions like this need to choose their words carefully. He's using "no quarter" because he thinks it means "we're being tough," but it's a real term and opponents will take a different meaning This pushes opponents to declare no quarter because we did it first
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 8mo agoHegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Brad Simpson@bradleyrsimpson.bsky.social · 8mo agoSo the Obama administration oral history project went live today. An extraordinary resource for historians and teachers, and a great credit to the team of folks who compiled them all, including Evan McCormick, @pastpunditry.bsky.social and many others.
Finally started “Death by Lightning” concerning James Garfield’s presidency. It is wonderful. Michael Shannon’s thoughtful, sober Garfield is relevant. Macfadyen as Charles Guiteau is beguiling. youtu.be/6jopqrSojQE?...

I want to connect the dots. The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power. A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.
“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a right and moral cause, then it is not a political party, but a conspiracy to seize power.” ~President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1956. Image: Eisenhower Presidential Library.
Don’t know why this popped into my head, but I bet James Baldwin would have some choice words for this current iteration of American governance. #ushistory #civilrights #civics

For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society
Lisa Diedrich@lisadiedrich.bsky.social · last yr.I keep thinking about how the COVID vaccine was rolled out for free for all Americans in 2021 by the federal & state governments with support from local health departments & universities. Since, we have seen the privatization of delivery thru commercial pharmacies & the need for insurance coverage.
A message for JD Vance and anyone else in this Administration that is pretending they care about the safety of our kids. They don’t. All they care about is the political approval and profits of the gun industry. And they show it every day.
I really wish my country valued children more than guns. Just keeps happening - we are failing our kids.

Historians - as you think about the new semester, consider this first-day exercise as a way to get conversation going about what historians *actually* do, and the context within which we do it. catherinedenial.org/blog/uncateg...
