Welcome to the Resistance...[checks notes]...Mitt Romney
Say it with me, people: THERE. IS. NO. REPUBLICAN. "RESISTANCE". TO. TRUMP.
Anointing Mitt Romney as some sort of resistance hero is like saying you'll prevent disease by licking the armrest of every chair in the airport

Heading out to the AHA tomorrow--woo hoo! If you're there too (or at the MLA down the street, for that matter), say hello--I'll be the one wearing...all the tattoos I guess
Wanna fight white supremacists' appropriation of history and lit, esp associated w the Middle Ages & the US Civil War? Come to our roundtable--it's a joint AHA/MLA session! Join me, @prof_gabriele @Lollardfish @slomuto and @dmchristmas Thursday at the MLA
And then we'll do it again on Saturday at the AHA. (Don't yet know which one I'll be wearing my Rainbow Dash shirt at, tho🙂)

@KeishaBlain @politico Shocking that @politico would only include white historians because wow look at their leadership team — 20 members but only 18 are white! #progress #ihaveadream
@KeishaBlain @politico Though the folks at @BuzzFeed are also doing a great job on diversity. Here is their leadership team.
@KeishaBlain @politico @BuzzFeed And here is the @buzzfeed board of directors. These guys really get it! Great job, new media companies.

Here's a thread about the books I read this year!

#reading #books #libraries #readingrainbow
1. "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff. Yes, I hate-read this book in a matter of days. Problematically, Bannon comes across as an articulate, insightful source and not an arch nationalist parasite. Will Wolff's depiction be hagiography in the future?
2. "The Invention of the White Race, Volume 1: Racial Oppression and Social Control" and "The Invention of the White Race, Volume 2: The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America" by Theodore Allen. Who knew how important Bacon's Rebellion (1676) was to the history of racism?

This story about melatonin use in children is in the Guardian today

A few key points:

@EvelinaLondon @maxdavie @RCPCHtweets

theguardian.com/society/2018/n…
As we better understand the importance of good quality sleep in childhood to short and long term health and development outcomes, more attention is being paid to sleep problems in children

Assessing, and deciding if/when intervention is needed, is therefore happening more often
Most childhood sleep issues can be managed without needing to use medications.

Medication for most sleep problems, as in adults, is only appropriate after thorough assessment and where non-medication options have been unsuccessful

Russia and Iran are engaged in disinformation campaigns aimed at US citizens. Twitter just released over 10 million tweets from over 4500 Russian and Iranian accounts engaged in influence operations dating back to 2009. We've analyzed the data. Here's what you need to know...
Russia's influence operations are far-reaching, aimed at a number of countries. This, of course, includes ops aimed at US voters in 2016, but also includes their own people. 58 Russian-language accounts tweeted regional "news" related to Crimea, Syria, and other military action.
44 US-directed local "news" accounts amassed over half a million followers. By using local-sounding news source names, they were able to dupe Americans from *other* regions to share what they thought was authentic news.

In order to better understand the Trumpist movement and modern politics in general, I've been reading studies about earlier waves of American rightism.

One good book I've read is The Paranoid Style in American Politics: amazon.com/Paranoid-Style…
If you read alt-right or other "dissident right" stuff, you'll instantly recognize what Hofstadter calls the "paranoid style".
Anyone who has argued with alt-righters knows very well how they start with a few verifiable facts (gang rapes in Sweden!) and then jump to wild, dramatic conclusions.

Well, that ain't new.
