My Torts professor - who is so unbelievably inspiring - told us a heartbreaking, yet hopeful story tonight - then ended with these words:

“Freedom of expression is priceless . . . Without New York Times v. Sullivan - there is nothing left of Democracy.”

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

For some odd reason I decided to write down one thing I learn each day for 2026. So far I’ve written down 27 random things I’ve learned. I just learned that the same guy that played Mr. Dark in Something Wicked This Way Comes is the same person that played the High Sparrow in Game of Thrones. #HATM

Evergreen.
I'm sorry, as a historian I'm not very good with dates.

Just got an update that mine and my son’s copies will be here tomorrow! So dang excited! Congratulations, @austinmccoy.bsky.social !! Cannot wait to read! 🎉😎
Living in a D.A.I.S.Y. Age drops tomorrow! Also means I’ll be giving away some of these copies. Just wanted to take a picture with all of them 😂 You can still preorder at the link in the comments, your local bookstore, Bookshop, or wherever you buy books.

Also included the Library Journal review!

I didn’t do a paid subscription for the jokes however they are a HUGE bonus! I subscribed for the humanity, authenticity, and wisdom. @herberthistory.bsky.social writes like he is having a conversation with a good friend and this article encompasses all of these. Check it out! #HATM
Art can be intimidating when you think you need collector money to enjoy it. So I went to Canyon Road and found… liberation?

1. Pierce Brosnan - I remember it was Goldeneye because Tina Turner did the intro for it and she’s a bad ass!
2. 2 fuji apples, 3/4 bag of fresh cranberries, I small lemon, pinch of cinnamon - all juiced together. Best drink out there.
3. Chocolate - because I can. 😎 #HATM
That brings us to tonight's #HATM questions:
1) Who is your favorite Bond?
2) What is your secret agent cocktail of choice?
3) And what is on the menu at your home tonight?

The show kicks off in just a few moments. See you soon!

Reminder: Tonight #HATM is watching Casino Royale at 7:00 central. I’ve never seen it but based on the title it’s about a gambling establishment owned by someone in a royal family. Looking forward to another fun evening. Everyone is welcome, hope to see you there!
This week Historians At The Movies talks about the history of and behind the world’s most stylish secret agent. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, January 25 at 8pm eastern for CASINO ROYALE.

Keep #HATM growing by sharing and we’ll see you soon!

My book cover art is by Titus Kaphar. Over a portrait of Washington, he shredded and nailed the runaway advertisement GW placed for Ona Judge after she fled from slavery in Philadelphia. It quite literally forces us to ask how we’d see Washington differently if we put slavery front and center.

Thanks for hosting! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute! Have a great week everyone!
