Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

8th station: Mothers weep for their children "imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, & wiped out in death camps."
Grant us, Lord, a maternal heart & tears of compassion.

If you've done research at NARA, you know about the binders... If anyone needs the binder for Record Group 96 (Resettlement, Farm Security Administration, etc.), I can DM a PDF.

@MatthewSitman Maybe this?

Jackson spoke forcefully on Palestine while others in his party were silent (or worse). RIP

Thrilled that IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SURVIVE: THE YOUNG PATRIOTS STORY has a cover and is available for pre-order!

John Sayles calls it “a fascinating chapter in the long story of seemingly powerless people trying to win some control over their lives.”

@GregGrandin Teaching it now. Still hits hard.

Shameless plug: If you're teaching a spring history course on the US South, civil rights, Native Am., &/or settler colonialism, consider adopting my recent book, Southern Enclosure https://t.co/XIeJT5QZVI (read reviews in AHR and Ag History).

I think those of us who spoke up about the Gaza genocide when Biden was president intuitively understand, in a way more recent converts might not, that none of our institutions are led by people with principles or integrity, and none of them are going to stand up to Trump.

Anti-apartheid martyr Steve Biko was killed by South Africa's apartheid government on this day in 1977.

“The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”

[Sam Adler-Bell @SamAdlerBell]

As the architects of Biden's disastrous Gaza policy attempt to revise history, I spoke to several of the 15 Biden officials who resigned over the genocide @NYMag

“It’s all been calculated the entire time, then and now. It’s all for their own political power and greed.”

It’s not complicated.

We are building a giant machine that will take everyone's job, but don't worry, it will also fry their brains, too.

@paulmrenfro @LiverightPub @wwnorton CONGRATS! What great news!

If you didn’t hear this story from Anas Baba on NPR today, you should take a listen.

He walked 3 hours to find a working internet connection to file the story.
