Unsafe History is about the 21st Century fight for democracy, human rights and the rules-based order. It highlights historians who are applying historical thinking to the daily rush of events and who help us to understand the real issues at stake.

BREAKING: Analysts are calling this the biggest protest in American history. It’s far bigger than any rally Donald Trump has ever had. This is Boston. Rallies just like this are happening in cities big and small all around the country. Let’s go.

Washington, D.C.’s No Kings protest is converging on a rallying point just west of the Capitol building. This was one of several locally-organized feeder marches just before merging with an even bigger crowd on Pennsylvania Avenue 👇
