Little known fact: Although much has been written about America's PAST treatment of Black veterans, few people are aware that tens of thousands of Black people who served in the US Armed Forces are technically and legally excluded from Veterans Day. A thread (and a story)

I am not a fan of the office of the university president, which exists to do the bidding of trustees and undermine faculty governance but what’s going is nuts. That Gordon Gee is still running WVU but Liz Magill is out at Penn tells you everything about how f’d higher ed is.

It’s out! 🎉 With a brilliant foreword by Alessandro Portelli, my book analyses how memory of the 1973 Rogo di Primavalle has been constructed & contested from the time of the attack to today (spoiler: Meloni is big on it). Available in soft back, too! link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

The emotional whiplash between Joe's withdrawal on Saturday, to realizing we're going to elect the 1st woman of color as our next President is probably closest you'll ever get to knowing what it feels like to make the jump to hyper-space. 🤯
