Andreas Malm is an activist but also a provocative and thoughtful historian. His banishment from the UK should provoke particular consternation for those in our profession. Here is his wonderful account of how climate change challenges the way we relate the past to the present.

Celebs attending an “airbnb gala” what the fuck is going on—how are you throwing a gala when you’re displacing Black people and communities of colour and creating a literal housing crisis??? That’s not philanthropic!

Just last month, DoorDash couldn’t seem to find the money to pay their deliveristas — until our administration forced them to give back $131M+ in stolen wages and penalties. This week, they’ve managed to find $17 billion to acquire one of their main competitors. Corporate consolidation means higher prices, harsher exploitation, and greater economic inequality for New Yorkers. We’ve stood up to these giants before. That doesn’t stop now.

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Today we learned that it was a 28-year-old DOGE operative who gutted USAID, and HR had no record of him working there. Totally normal stuff.

Marie Wilcox realized she was the last person on Earth who could speak the Wukchumni anguage fluently, so at 82, she taught herself to use a computer and spent seven years typing a 6,000 word Wukchumni dictionary, the first written record of the language in history, to save it from extinction.

On May 7th, a mere eight days after the Supreme Court hollowed out the remnants of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Tennessee Republicans eliminated the state’s only Black-majority district. Suddenly, Justin J. Pearson, the 31-year-old Black activist running for Congress in the district, had to take a campaign geared for urban enclaves to the countryside. “There was maybe a two-minute opportunity to grieve what we had lost. It felt very quick,” Pearson said. “They can try to rig the maps, but maps do not vote. People do. My job is to run a campaign that actually appeals to people all across the state, all across this country even.” Read more about Pearson’s campaign: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Jh…
