As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution").
There are so many errors that it is hard to know where to begin. But I'll try

I'm just a great composer
And not a violent man
But I lost my composure
And I shot Ferdinand
Crying "it's well and kosher
to say you don't understand
but this is for Holland-Dozier-Holland"
His last words were
We don't know anything
His fading words were
We don't know anything
And not a violent man
But I lost my composure

I know The Beast In Me got mixed reviews, but 3 eps in I am really enjoying it! I like thrillers, blocked writers and real estate shenanigans, and also, I like when wonderful actors with enormous heads look alternately worried & angry, so it works for me

I think Mamdani did an amazing job with Trump, he was charming & warm but also disciplined, on message. I also think it’s a mistake to think there’s a cheat code with Trump, that when he abuses someone, it’s the target’s fault… you cd do everything “right” & the man can still explode

I knew about that sex act bc on the first day of college, at the height of the AIDS era, we all received a detailed pamphlet listing safe, semi-safe and unsafe acts, which was QUITE the conversation starter

We've seen this over and over again. Trump seems genuinely surprised when he learns that Fox News has been bullshitting him.

I happened to be in the audience for the Colbert taping last night where @warren.senate.gov called out David Ellison *by name* and I'm honestly shocked it wasn't edited out. We love to see it.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

![II. Credibility
The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6]
Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage.
[FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifpyry2il5toxbr3iejgrsxs6kmnwve75qwnhebfp44ieyjrfpsdu@jpeg)

When I was young, I thought that when someone in a TV show or movie asked “Are you wearing a wire?” it meant “an underwire bra”
Whenever they asked women characters I was shocked at how rude and intrusive a question it was, but it did make scenes where they asked men that much more interesting

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
