I hope to live to be 100, folks, because this academic late bloomer is entering the History PhD program at the University of Utah this fall with some grand ideas about what family records and artifacts can tell us about history. So excited to be back at the U! @uofuhistory

From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

[Patrick Kearon @PatrickKearon]

When we are in the midst of grief, we often want the world to stop to grieve with us. Yet, the world keeps moving.

In this moment of grief for my family, we are again so grateful for the peace we find in Jesus Christ and His gospel.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.

Thanks to the folks at the Association of Computers and Humanities (ACH) for compiling this a database of terminated NEH grants. It’s heartbreaking and infuriating. Learn about the projects discontinued your state and contact your legislators!

[Mitt Romney @MittRomney]

All know that a strong America is the best ally of peace—the world’s avaricious dictators of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are hesitant to invade and brutalize in the face of 1) American strength and 2) American resolve. Our tepid response to Russia’s invasion of Georgia and Crimea surely contributed to Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.

American strength is greatest when we have friends that stand with us; we must not let economic squabbles fray the bonds of our alliances.
American resolve is greatest when we stand with the victims of oppression and invasion. After Russia invaded Ukraine with hundreds of tanks and hundreds of thousands of troops, America - together with Europe - rallied to give Ukraine the weapons and aid to defend itself. Three years later, Russia continues its brutal assault. We must not let personal squabbles weaken our resolve to stand with the freedom fighters and to oppose the authoritarian aggressors.
Lasting peace will only be achieved if America demonstrates strength and resolve and if Ukraine is certain that it will not be invaded again. Anything short of that would elicit only temporary celebration; it would open the door to global conflicts that we may be unable to contain.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

[Eli McCann @EliMcCann]

Zelensky is a heroic man handling a horrific and unjust attack on the people he loves with such integrity and courage that the morally vacuous grifters our country has bafflingly elected don't have the capacity to understand him. It is incumbent on all of us to support Ukraine.

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

Believe in Ukraine. Stand with Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

On Tues, Feb 25, Congress will vote on a budget that could possibly cut $880 billion from Medicaid. Medicaid provides healthcare and support for 80 million people, including at least 17 million with disabilities. Urge your member of Congress to vote NO.

I was a stranger and you did not welcome me.
I was a stranger and you sent me away.
I was a stranger and you put me in chains.
I was a stranger and you filmed my humiliation.
I was a stranger and you showed my humiliation.
I was a stranger and you did not welcome me.

In the late 19th/early 20th cent Ellen Larson Smith had a thriving photography studio in the remote Mormon colonies of Ariz. Historian friends, any recs for sources on gender/labor/photography/scrapbooks, esp in the American West? Seen the 2020 Routledge. Photo: Mary Smith, 1908

Believe the words we can’t bare to hear.. Today is a day to feel our losses, deeply. This is it its own form of resistance — to feel — This is not despair, this is grief —. and grief demands our presence. It moves with us, through us. This is what it feels like to care and to love all that is vulnerable and at risk. This, too, is what Democracy looks like— to believe, to enlist our courage with a sustained focus toward justice for all; to continue to do the work that is ours. It is never over. We are here for the duration — the long view in the desert is the seedbed of inspiration. The revolution is ours, it isn’t what we thought it would be — but transformation comes in unexpected forms. We will meet this moment with the gifts that are ours — and we will take care of each other — and not look away — This is not the end, nor the beginning, it is the truth of our lives. Our power lies in our capacity to keep loving and engaging with this beautiful, broken world. We can no longer look for leadership beyond ourselves. If we are present. we will know what to do.
By your side. One day at a time. Here.
