The death squads waging ethnic cleansing are poorly trained

Episode 2 of Historians on Wheels! Now with @vanessahistory and @stschrader1.

Catch up on the first week of the Tour, the longterm trauma of childhood heroes turned dopers, and whether whether YouTube recaps are closer to the historical roots of the event

This is the fakest sport on earth.

"Prison employees destroyed every scrap of paper I owned…. Roughly ten large cardboard boxes—each holding a cubic foot archive of my life—disappeared overnight. I received no compensation. As a writer, the loss was incalculable." @AlwaysStevie https://t.co/p5D0fHlbWe

And get rid of the city’s ICE-supporting police union too https://t.co/lJg5afKkgo

[Reuters @Reuters]

More than a thousand protesters chanting ‘ICE out of Houston’ marched near the spot where a US ICE officer fatally shot a man driving to work, the latest in a spate of lethal encounters from increasing deportation raids nationwide https://t.co/bkQqeJQuuY

The 1978 World Cup, hosted by Argentina’s military dictatorship, spawned powerful calls for a boycott, demands that echo today in the U.S. as social movements confront rising authoritarianism through fútbol.

Everyone is required to preorder Delio Vásquez's amazing new intellectual biography of Huey P. Newton, which works from dozens of unpublished manuscripts to establish Newton as a profound and original philosopher

How are police unions different from other unions? What are the politics of police institutions, internally, and in relation to one another? And why do cops have so much power? so grateful to @stschrader1 for joining us on @UnhappinessPod CC @HachetteUS https://t.co/4DjgeNa1y7

@scabbyscribe56 Jersey City had a chapter too, but yeah AC is basically off the map politically

Historians don’t like to make predictions, but with two stages of the Tour de France complete, ours are looking good so far. #TDF2026

[Charles Petersen @p_e_t_e_r_s_e_n]

I finally did it: I made a podcast.

The Tour de France starts tomorrow. As the most historical of sports, what you obviously need is three historians (myself, @stschrader1, @theotherjude) chatting about why 2026 is the year to get into cycling.

Here is @triofrancos explaining the failure of the IRA in three paragraphs better than anyone has explained it, and debunking the entire new wave of "don't talk about climate" left punching bullshit in the process.

[Ordinary Unhappiness @UnhappinessPod]

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 The institutions of modern American policing are far younger than the USA itself. Yet the police now seem ubiquitous - and their self-interested exercise of political power is undeniable. The brilliant @stschrader1 helps us understand why. https://t.co/ZeILQpZVmF

[Stuart Schrader @stschrader1]

@muttgomery @gabrielwinant No, but I should!

[Stuart Schrader @stschrader1]

The Tour de France begins momentarily! If you are curious about the incredible sport of road cycling, and especially its historical context, check out the new podcast Historians on Two Wheels w/ me, @p_e_t_e_r_s_e_n, & @theotherjude. https://t.co/NltkZAQOo9 #TDF2026

@muttgomery @gabrielwinant My entire course this fall is an insurgency & counterinsurgency simulation.
