2016: it’s only four years, how bad can it get

2021: are the armed insurrectionists storming the Capitol aware that there is a plague ravaging the land

[Lawrence Sondhaus @LSondhaus]

Imagine the public (and police) reaction if a LW mob stormed the Capitol, then a shirtless person of color stood in the VP's place giving a black power salute while a buddy dressed in camo took pics. And these clowns won't even get arrested for this. #TrumpCoupAttempt

The Papers of Thomas Jefferson and the @Center4DigEd announce the publication of the Jefferson Weather & Climate Records (https://t.co/KvAITcnHz1), a digital resource from the meteorological observations recorded by Jefferson for nearly half a century. https://t.co/0vH7fHVFW3

"Patriotic history"

As used at today's conference it means: pretend bad things never happened

What is true patriotic history?

It teaches people to be good citizens.
To understand the Constitution & act accordingly

It teaches US history in all its complexity--not white-washed.

[Benjamin Park @BenjaminEPark]

Whenever people insist we shouldn’t be “ashamed of our history,” what they’re really saying is they don’t want to be shamed for their actions and beliefs in the present.

[Dr. Joanne Freeman (@jbf1755 on lots o’ platforms) @jbf1755]

I just sent this to a media outlet that asked me to respond to today's "history" conference.

Passing it along.

When people complain about the militarization of the police, this is what they are talking about. A suburban PD bought lots of doomsday gear, which of course then has to be used. #DemilitarizeThePolice

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTAPHILLY So can we take the train to center city, and then buy the return ticket? I am not sure how we are supposed to get to the center city office without a way to buy the ticket to get there. Is there a way to purchase online?

#OnThisDay 250 years ago in 1770, British soldiers killed five Bostonians in what became known as the Boston Massacre, one of the crucial moments that led to the Revolutionary War.

This Boston Gazette, now on display courtesy of Nick Manganiello, marked the first anniversary.

Hey folks:

A new piece by me for the @madebyhistory folks at @washingtonpost —on why history & historians have—& will have— a special value during the 2020 presidential campaign.

On history, democracy, and urgency.
