I've never 🫶🏽 Michelle and Barack more, but ... they left #LesMis at intermission because they were not fans🥰

I've noticed that there are times when I am not nice to my friends. I don't know why...

I am honestly confused why anyone with morals and intelligence is still on it.

Now would be an incredibly good time for the Democratic Party (or someone like AOC or Raskin) to call for a boycott of X on the grounds of fighting antisemitism.

I’m going to stop calling it “this administration” or “the Trump administration”. It is now “this regime” or “the Trump regime”. #languagematters #thatisall

Feeling the Losses

It has been exactly six months (as I’m writing this) to the day since flames chased us from our school and our school community.

Welcome to the early side! #morningwalkers

I hate to admit morning people are right, but since I woke up at 6:15, I've had a nice coffee, played my daily word games, emailed with my EU editor, done a workout, washed and dried my hair, been to the store, got a pork shoulder seasoned and started in the slow cooker, and made a coleslaw by 9am.

Ok, I’m going to try it one more time.

You are going to be able to vote in 2026. Elections are decentralized. There will be voter suppression tactics, but you will vote.

The doomsaying doesn’t help.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Talking to @ljmathman.bsky.social & fam last night. Had to clarify that we are both "the teacher you hate in September" because We challenge you to think, learn, & grow. But you "love us in June" because YOU are a better person, stronger student, & a boon to the world as a result. #makeadifference

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world.

Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior?

These people are unfit to govern.

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter, launching the four-year Civil War—a national conflict that would ultimately force the abolition of slavery in the United States. 130 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library.

This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler.

The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

Another question for the pod: What is the purpose of government? And how does THAT purpose influence its priorities? #wesaidwhatwesaid #historianthoughts
