My own commentary & retweets, "tweets" from classes. Modern Germany, Europe, nationalism, material culture. Opinions all mine.

When historians write about this time they will explore why no one stopped him: why no one in his govt or the GOP or the elites in finance that prop him back pretending they don't see the disintegration or not caring as long as they make $ did anything meaningful.

It’s incredible how absent Democratic Party leadership is in the face of Trump blowing up the entire fucking world.

Calling for the eradication of a civilization is a call for genocide.

Took a break. Back now, and not certain I want to be. #NewYearNewMe?

@DrHistoryBrad Seriously! My institution decided to just give students subscriptions . . . and they were so utterly confused. And really don't want it, because I think they COMPLETELY understand the perils.

Israel isn’t “testing” the ceasefire with strikes. It’s violating the ceasefire

A few weeks left to apply!

@drphillips2001 Fully agree, especially because all things considered both Wessel and Kirk were/are low-level figures, ripe for mythologizing.

[Dr. Erika L. Briesacher @HistoryInShort]

@melnickjeffrey1 So happy to hear you're safe--we've been trying to figure out what the heck is going on

[Dr. Erika L. Briesacher @HistoryInShort]

Genocide is ongoing in Gaza. Excellent piece from an esteemed colleague.

[Jeff Melnick @melnickjeffrey1]

As the new semester starts, I want to keep the focus on the ongoing genocide in Gaza (and US complicity in it).

Honored to have the chance to co-write this with another parent whose child was suspended from Barnard/Columbia for protest activity.

@hotdamhistorian CONGRATS!

[Dr. Erika L. Briesacher @HistoryInShort]

Louder in the back: lots of expensive programs (ahem, nursing) would not be financially feasible or viable without the humanities and social sciences. Full stop.

[Thomas Fleischman @TomFleischman]

A reminder: the humanities subsidize the sciences (and athletics, business schools, med schools) at all colleges and universities.

@aliciaandrz I got my job at WSU right out of the gate (as an ABD, defended a few weeks before I started). Barring anything wild or catastrophic happening, I don't really envision leaving.

[Dr. Erika L. Briesacher @HistoryInShort]

@aliciaandrz Wonderful news!!
