Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking on free speech as part of the Presidential Series at the historic Union League of Philadelphia. As a history buff, it was a particular pleasure to speak in the iconic building on the National Register of Historic Places... https://t.co/hMJxnXUPld

Visitors to museums should *absolutely* feel confronted. They should feel respected, and not be presented with more than they can safely handle. But they should find their boundaries challenged.

This was indeed stunning news. All that you say about him is true. I always felt his affection and support for me and I loved the work that he did. He was a friend in the truest sense of the word. I cannot believe he’s gone, either.

Forgive me for a bit of self-promotion, but since both ASA and ASC are in Philadelphia this year, I wanted to remind folks that I wrote a book about Eastern State Penitentiary, the early US prisons, and Pennsylvania's role in early penal reform. https://t.co/R3EPSVrlq0

Mine was more rectangular and had a green leather cover. I got it for Christmas when I was 9 years old. I couldn't have been more excited. To be able to be in my room & listen to the music I wanted to listen to. I've never been happier. It's so easy to please kids.

"With much national wealth and commerce utterly dependent on slavery, in the North as well as the South," any proposal for abolition "would have been a political non-starter."

Apparently, ChatGPT, however, is in thrall to white supremacist myths online. https://t.co/NjP2eTJ9zM

We hope you all had a great winter break!

It has been hard to let go of this one, but I just bit the bullet and submitted my latest article, "Participatory Law Scholarship," via @scholasticaLR. Updated version now up @ssrn too!

I think that you'll either love it or hate it, but hope you'll at least give it a chance!
