NEW: A Texas Supreme Court justice didn't recuse from a sex abuse lawsuit against Southern Baptist leader Paul Pressler and Jared Woodfill despite working at their firm for years – and while the plaintiff, a former employee, was allegedly abused.

I started a book YouTube channel called Time Travel Reads. I'm reading American history from the colonial period to the present. I'm in the colonial period. I'd love to incorporate scholars' monographs.

@YouTube Esoterica is having their videos demonetized because a fraudulent company is copyright claiming a public domain song they use in their intro. Please fix this.

@AdamHDomby Hey. I'm finally reading your book. It's great. I've never read much about the civil war. What should I start with?

[MelissaElliott @MelisFS]

@HistoryNewbie Hey Joanne. Thanks for being here.

I woke up at 4:30 am. I was dreaming about yelling at Thomas Jefferson that slavery was systemized raping and pillaging.

Border walls don’t just block wildlife migrations — they block the flow of water, the dispersal of seeds & other natural processes.

The border is 2,000 miles long, most of it rugged, wild & beautiful. This is no place place for destructive, useless, wildlife-killing barriers.

1. 61 activists appeared in court yesterday on RICO charges related to their protest of Atlanta’s "Cop City"

It's an extraordinary indictment

Only a handful are accused of violence

Others face 20 yrs in prison for non-violent protest & expression

Here's how it works

@jbf1755 If you were to time travel to Hamilton and show him music from the future, what would you show him? I figure patriotic and holiday (especially wartime) music, a little rock. What else?

[MelissaElliott @MelisFS]

@HistoryNewbie Rest in peace little bird. Good night Newbie. Goodnight Joanne. Goodnight history friends.

[MelissaElliott @MelisFS]

@jbf1755 I'm so sorry about Newbie Joanne. I didn't hear until this morning.

[MelissaElliott @MelisFS]

@MHarrisPerry Happy birthday!

@SethCotlar Where are you likely going after Twitter?

[MelissaElliott @MelisFS]

@jbf1755 Last night Heather Said that scholars are leaving Twitter en masse as soon as another platform gets direct messages. Apparently another one is about to get them. Do you know which it is?

[MelissaElliott @MelisFS]

It is actually happening. A history book is being hyped on YouTube. Everyone get on the book channels talking about The Wager and recommend more history!

@DanaherCorp Lower the price of your TB test cartridges to $5 so that the poorest countries can access them. Your machine is amazing but only if it can be used.

Religion is now an official excuse for sexism, bigotry, and discrimination in higher ed. This is unconscionable. @usedgov Have you seen this @SIfill_ ?
