#DHinChina #DigitalHumanities Thanks @ShazBlock for giving us the permission of reprinting the paper “Erasure, Misrepresentation and Confusion: Investigating JSTOR Topics on Women’s and Race Histories” published in DHQ 14.1 on DHlib: https://t.co/TIK4qAH5KQ

Against hundreds of years of congressional action, against solid #SCOTUS precedent, and hundreds of years of history, the Supreme Court held today that states have jurisdiction over certain crimes in Indian Country by judicial fiat. A devastating result for our democracy.

[Elizabeth Hidalgo Reese (Yunpovi) @yunpovi]

This #SCOTUS opinion in Castro Huerta is horrifying and insulting to Indian people and tribes.
I’m shaken.
Every few paragraphs of the majority opinion has another line that dismissively and casually cuts apart tribal independence that Native ancestors gave their lives for.

Launching my newsletter: More to Hate, with a post in which I write publicly for the first time about my own abortion, on this day of all days. Please read, share, and subscribe if you feel so inclined. https://t.co/viuNtmiI6X

[Kate Manne @kate_manne]

Almost nobody is entitled to a gun and nobody whatsoever is entitled to use your body without your consent. If you can get pregnant, you are morally entitled to an abortion.

SCOTUS is beyond broken.

[LGBTQ+ History Association @LGBTQHISTORYA]

The CLGBTH is proud to announce the launch of a fundraising campaign to support the creation of a NEW research travel award for scholars applying feminist analysis to LBGTQ history, named in honor of Estelle Freedman, a pathbreaking historian in US women's history! #QHC22

So well deserved: Vicki Ruiz receives honorary degree from Harvard for being a "fabled founding mother of Latina studies." And as everyone lucky enough to be in her orbit knows, one of the best mentors in the profession.

[Sharon Block @ShazBlock]

@hollyguise @WesternHistori1 You are so generous -- you did all the work and had the ideas/research. It is a brilliant piece. So excited it is finally out!!

[Sharon Block @ShazBlock]

Must Read: @hollyguise's new article on Indigenous women, sexual violence, and retelling the history of colonial power. So glad it is out in @WesternHistori1! https://t.co/6vmuiYgFF6

[Erik Melander @melander_erik]

Men who embrace misogynist ideals of masculinity and honor-thinking are more prone to violent attitudes and to perpetrate violent crime, and to participate in political violence. A few examples of relevant studies:

Today Vicki Ruiz received an honorary degree for her pioneering work telling the histories of Mexican women and Chicanas in the U.S. Though I had met her in writing, this was the first time meeting her in person, as her proud faculty escort! Viva! @womnknowhistory
