@sa_franks @womnknowhistory Anything by Elaine Forman Crane but especially Killed Strangely:The Death of Rebecca Cornell @CornellPress

Is there a word for that feeling historians get when you just know there was some kind of connection/tension between two people in the past but despite all of your best research you can't figure it out and know you probably never will? Something in German, maybe?

Yesterday's beautiful Inauguration "America United" gave proof that the arts will bring us together.

Amanda Gorman's words & wisdom reflected President Biden's values. As the President & Lin-Manuel Miranda quoted Seamus Heaney: "justice can rise up / And hope and history rhyme."

@SethCotlar Jill Lepore's "The Whites of their Eyes" documents a similar phenomenon in the Tea Party movement. Might be worth revisiting.

Historians have rarely had a collective voice quite like now. Our neighbors, students, and fellow citizens need us. Keep up the good work comrades.

While policy racism is not unique to the GOP, many Rep’s are trying run from Trump now that he’s gone from dog whistle to bull horn. But he is their creation. The crux of the Southern Strategy was to break apart any coalitions across racial lines by stoking racial fears.

History teaches that 3 dimensions of racism & white nationalism proceed in a sinister sequence:
1. Words of racism = verbal violence
2. Works of racism = policy violence
3. War-like casualties of racism = physical violence & death

Last year, workers at the MS plant owned by Koch Foods won a suit against the company for harassment. Now, they are being detained by ICE. https://t.co/oJ9PO7AKZx

If you're angry or upset, if you want to do something, you can make a difference. Here's how you can help the families affected by the raids in Mississippi: https://t.co/3q81HX458B

@JasonAHiggins Well been there and done that so I would say we are way too concerned with temperment. Flexibility, accessibility and the right combination of deference to elders but a little moxie that will ensure compatibility with assistant and associates
