Thoughts on the “battle” of San Jacinto and the continued use of grievance in politics.

[Houston Chronicle Opinion @ChronOpinion]

"Though the celebration of San Jacinto Day has receded into the background, unfortunately its spirit of retribution has not. How many of our lawmakers like to consider themselves Travis, standing on the wall against invaders?" - @RamosWorld (@UHouston) https://t.co/dbxBIypjyx

@Latinohistory @statesman Really feeling the loss of Michael Olivas @rockandrollprof with this report

[University of Houston @UHouston]

We are greatly saddened by the passing of Michael A. Olivas, @UHLAW professor emeritus.

He will be remembered for his dedication to advancing legal education and advocating for others.

@NativeAmText @BrianDeLay It follows a similar script. Send in Americans who then become freedom fighters.

[Raul A Ramos @RamosWorld]

@NativeAmText @BrianDeLay I was just thinking this- but more like 1836. Making Texas a “Republic” as a precursor to annexation.

[Raul A Ramos @RamosWorld]

@JoshGoldfein @DavidFBrand @airswoopes22 Yup! Not sure if it made the last move.

@xicanohistorian @npcox @OmarValerioJim1 @madebyhistory Excellent essay- “both wars were underwritten by the willful belief in the American ability to develop invaded lands under its world views while “protecting” and “rescuing” invaded peoples

@gerry_cadava Begs the question, does race shape your politics or politics shape your race?

[Geraldo Cadava @gerry_cadava]

I wrote this for @Slate, about how Republicans use immigration and the border, the fictions they want us to believe, challenges faced by Democrats, and the need for action. Mainly, both parties should treat these issues with great seriousness, instead of with theater and slogans.

“the prevailing view has shifted and has changed, and I don’t think legislating is going to move it back.” A few of my thoughts on Texas History and politics @TIMEHistory⁩ https://t.co/ROgJlR0WU9

Reminder that the nine members of the 1836 Project advisory committee are appointed by the Gov, Lt. Gov, and speaker. https://t.co/YACP9iBo7s

@agordonreed Sometimes the same can be said when people say “Texan”

“The idea that history is a project that’s decided in the political arena is a recipe for disaster,” said Raul Ramos, a historian at the University of Houston who specializes in the American West.

Great reporting by @viaSimonRomero

⁦@viaSimonRomero⁩ gets to the core issues “they largely ignore the role of slavery and campaigns of anti-Mexican violence and would fail to educate a generation of students growing up in a state undergoing huge demographic shifts.” https://t.co/rXE71oSIFJ
