My sister got a video of a helicopter dropping water on the Brand Park fire in Glendale.

@AttyCollins @kkdumez The book doesn't really get into the restrictionist critique of Christianity, but some saw a liberal Protestant idea of welcoming and caring for immigrants (as seen through the Social Gospel Movement) as and idea that would lead to the denigration of the American white race.

[Jeanne Petit @JeanneDPetit]

@AttyCollins @kkdumez I wrote a book awhile ago about the debate over instituting a literacy test as an immigration restriction measure, with a focus on how ideas about race and gender were part of that debate.

@kkdumez Those are hard to write. I, too, thank you on behalf of the historical profession.

@haas1235 I was lucky I got my PhD when I did because colleges were still hiring when I was on the market. About a year or two later, it all started to dry up.

[Jeanne Petit @JeanneDPetit]

@haas1235 In college, I got a special Mellon fellowship to try to cultivate future academics because there were going to be so many jobs opening up as the boomers retired. And then when I got to ND, at our first meeting with the DGS, we were disabused of that notion.

@LauraB7 Shoot! I'm driving from Central Illinois to the 'burbs of Chicago today. I hope the blowing snow isn't too bad on the country roads.
