@samhaselby Bamboozled or not, Black people should be able to read so-called mainstream publications without racist formulations in headlines. We’re retrogressing to the pre-Civil Rights Movement era. They can do better than this. But there is no incentive.

As Director of the Program in African American History at the Library Co of Phila, I am thrilled to post the CFP for a conference, BLACK PHILA, that I am organizing with 1838 Black Metropolis & McNeil Center at Penn. Please distribute widely: https://t.co/Mz0m1khmYF

My team and I have been working hard to secure a new home for the DC Archives, preserving the rich history of the District of Columbia! Thank you so much to our amazing community partners for all of their support! #TeamOS #WeAreDC

I love how succinct this is.

And accurate.

[Mary Beth Corrigan @mbmuse]

@GregTSargent @newrepublic I don’t miss an episode. I really appreciated your sensitivity when discussing the options after Biden’s debate performance.

[Mary Beth Corrigan @mbmuse]

@HoyaNation Without any consequences for them too.

Every time I think I’ve seen it all from Trump. . .

From NPR’s ⁦@QuilLawrence:⁩ Arlington National Cemetery officials say Trump campaign staff verbally abused and pushed aside cemetery official who objected to filming and photography at gravesites

Emphasized by Obama as well!

[George Leventhal @georgeleventhal]

@kristenmag I’m loving her emphasis on affordable housing! Then of course she’s not an aspiring dictator who promises his supporters that if he wins this time, they’ll never have to vote again.

[Mary Beth Corrigan @mbmuse]

@MBohlin2787 Lots of luck. I hope that by opening up this way you find that lots of other people can empathize with at least some parts of your experience. Glad you are on your feet. Good luck getting work! In the meantime, enjoy hitting milestones.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

In 2000, Al Gore “lost” Florida and with it, the presidency by 537 votes. I won my Senate seat by 312 votes. The battleground states will be decided by one or two votes per precinct. So volunteer! Phone bank! Door knock! Get out there for Kamala and Tim!!! #DNCConvention2024 https://t.co/WbRnkmzB6p

[Wes Moore @iamwesmoore]

Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.

Making America great does not mean telling people "you're not wanted." It means saying this country would be incomplete without you.

[Mary Beth Corrigan @mbmuse]

A 50-state strategy is the only way to build. And who knows, you might win here.

[Wilmot Collins @CollinsWilmot]

My personal plea to @KamalaHarris and the @DNC.

Please don’t write off “red states” such as Montana. The energy and enthusiasm for moving forward, is here — like it is all across the country.

There are good, decent people in states like mine that are waiting to be noticed.

[. @GregTSargent]

As I argue in this piece, the Obamas are a reminder that Dems can have success when they cast racial progress in the electoral context in patriotic terms, as a reason to feel good about our country: https://t.co/weTej4Hb2m

[Mary Beth Corrigan @mbmuse]

I feel seen.

[Capitol Hill Books @chbooksdc]

nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how busy you were
- how much you worked

people will remember:
-how you courageously kept buying more books despite your growing TBR pile.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

Wow.

The Washington Post “fact check”
of night 1 of the DNC is embarrassing.
