Historian M.Trouillot wrote that we participate in history both as actors and narrators.

This great @chgsumn resource for educators and researchers on the facts and framing of the “US-Dakota War”is a perfect illustration.

This is where we're at now in American politics - an elected official and potential VP candidate touting shooting a dog as the a justification for office.

"After someone agreed with him, Osman replied in Somali, “Where’s Hitler when you need him?”"

I'm so disappointed someone using this rhetoric represents the city I love.

I spent 14 hours as an election judge today. Our precinct had an 85% turnout - higher than most Presidential elections.

Really thrilled to have had the opportunity to present my work with George Dalbo (@UMN_CEHD) alongside Sisokaduta (UMN-AIS) on Sunday at the @cagr_usc conference "Mass Violence and Its Lasting Impact on Indigenous Peoples"

Spending my last few hours in Berlin reflecting on the last week in Germany, and the overlaps in challenges addressing the past that we all share. A lot to learn & a lot to do but it's exciting to see what's being done.
Thanks for the opportunity @boell_us #daicor2022

This truly is the who's who of America.

If there's one thing I've learned in the last 526 days it's that Minneapolis will go out of its way to find ways to disappoint me.

@jSWahutu_nyu @jodselow @chgsumn @cincyhhc We're like the man riding behind the Roman emporer in the chariot, whispering, "Never forget the library.." in his ear during a Triumph to keep him grounded.
Specific historical reference, but it works.

[Joe Eggers @JREggers]

@jSWahutu_nyu @jodselow @chgsumn @cincyhhc I hope you're at peace, Wahutu, knowing that no matter where you go in life we're always going to use the picture of you in the library. Never forget your roots.

4 years ago today, the assault on Charlottesville began with the chant, "Jews will not replace us." Where are we four years later? The American reckoning with racism has been painful and necessary; the reckoning with antisemitism has been at best an afterthought. 1/5

This isn't the outrageous idea you think it is.

If you like the idea of no medical privacy and a digital #VaccinePassport

Imagine having sex passports where you have to be vaccinated against HPV and have updated STD and STI tests to have access to bars and dating sites.

You really want to go there!?

"The veteran quarterback said the size of Minnesota's quarterback meeting room inside TCO Performance Center was the root of the issue."

Yeah, that's the problem.
