This was a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing this weekend -- the special airs on TBS on Saturday night, 10pm Eastern.
Here's another promo with NYU's Michele Mitchell.

(The other historians taking part in the roast are @ManuBhagavan, Julia Ott, @studentactivism, José Moya, Eric Foner, and Ayse Baltacioglu-Brammer.)
Here's a third promo with the roast participant I've been dying to see -- Columbia's Eric Foner.

Senator Sam Ervin made the same threat to the Nixon White House during the Watergate hearings.
"These are not sacrosanct persons," Ervin noted in April 1973. "Divine right of rule perished in America with the American Revolution, and it doesn't belong to White House aides."
The White House initially refused, but once they realized Ervin was serious -- that the Senate might hold the aides in contempt and refer them to the US Attorney in DC for indictments -- Nixon's men relented two weeks later.

Once again, this is utter nonsense.
First of all, she says that the Southern Strategy is a "myth," when we have actual documents from inside the Nixon administration and elsewhere on it.

Here's just one example, a 1969 memo written by a young Lamar Alexander, who was a White House aide:
Beyond those internal documents, it's something that Nixon strategists discussed openly in the press at the time as well.

Here's Nixon's strategist Kevin Phillips in 1973:

Yes, yes, I've seen this clip.

This has become a common argument on the right in recent years.
For instance, here's a thread I did debunking a Prager U video claiming the "Southern Strategy" was a hoax cooked up after the fact by liberal academics.

SPOILER: It ends with a page from the video host's own book describing the Southern Strategy.

Here's a second thread on how politicians and political strategists employed the Southern Strategy:

Ok Tweeps. There's a candidates forum tonight at the Samford Farmers hall

It starts at 7pm
I'm already here because I wanted to park my car right out the front. There's been plenty of chatter on the suburban Facebook groups about it

Stay tuned

The room is starting to fill.

Apparently the chap who moderates the forum does a very good job. Very fair, very unbiased.

Well. Today's our last chapter for Anne of Green Gables. Are you ready? I'm not sure I am XD But let's do it anyways. #LainaReadsAnne
#LainaReadsAnne Marilla comes home from the oculist rather walloped by the news she got there. He said if she wears the glasses he gave her, stops reading and sewing and anyting that'd strain the eyes, including crying, her headaches will be cured and her eyes won't get worse.
#LainaReadsAnne If she doesn't, she'll be blind in six months.

The news hits her hard. She doesn't know what she'll do if she can't read or sew or how she's supposed to help that she's lonesome and cries.

Hello to all my #Exvangelical fam. Has it only been a week? It feels like longer than a week. How are you? Check in, tell me what's up. I have had a very up and down sort of week and I've been putting off writing a new Dobson thread for a few hours but here we are. It's time.
Let's get through the opening stuff, shall we? If you don't know, I have been writing threads about Dr. James Dobson every week for the past few months. We started with a biography written by one of his sycophants. You can find those threads here.

Just last week I started Preparing for Adolescence, partly by popular demand. I have actually read this book before as an adult and went BACK just so I could write these threads, which is how you know I love you. Those threads will be collected here.

Dahyun decided to dive her obsession with Sana on social media, by interacting with a roleplay account that takes on the persona of Harumi; a role that the famous Japanese actress played. But what if the person behind that account is Sana herself?

› back to black ‧ taekook au

the one where taehyung is a spy, jungkook is his target, and the world is their playground.
The first time Taehyung goes on a mission, it’s by complete accident.

There’s some sort of chaos outbreak at HQ, and before he knows it, Taehyung--an untrained, unpaid, unsure intern--is swept into a slick black SUV and sent off to an unknown location.
He looks around, not very optimistic at the sight of the other nervous faces in the car. When the vehicle finally stops, the doors are pulled open by a very gruff-looking man, his face streaked with blood and his arm in a rough-looking sling.

Today I'm building on the success of #HolidailyFitness to begin a 1 year commitment to daily exercise! If you want to participate/follow along, we'll use the #DailyFitness18 hashtag.

Rules:

1. You set your own minimum
2. You choose your activities
3. Check in whenever you want
The #DailyFitness18 challenge is for anyone who wants to build or reinforce the habit of daily exercise. For me, the goal is to learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle for the long haul..
We'll take it one month at a time, just like we did with #HolidailyFitness. Find activities and movement that are healthy for you and your individual ability/mobility. Stretching, chores, walking -- all of that good stuff counts!
