I had a blast chatting with Lily Geismer for this interview we did for @PublicBooks's Public Thinker series. Check it out! publicbooks.org/public-thinker…
@PublicBooks If you're not familiar with Lily's work, you really should check her out. She's a rising star in American political history.

Her first book was Don't Blame Us, a brilliant study of suburban liberals outside Boston, published by @PrincetonUPress: press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove…
@PublicBooks @PrincetonUPress And Lily co-edited, along with @brentcebul and @masonbwilliams, this fantastic new volume which showcases some of the cutting-edge work in the field.

This comes from Ricardo Barros, who is fantastic. Highly recommended.

This was the other option, but it has a bit of a "disappointed vice principal" vibe to it.

This is the greatest own-goal in the history of television.

I can't believe the congressman tweeted this out himself.
Yes, all the experts think that this theory Trump is pushing, that Ukraine intervened against him in 2016, is baseless nonsense.

And yes, they also agree that Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to dig up dirt on his political rivals in the 2020 election is wrong.

Uh ... good point?
You can hear the music playing him off at the end. Maybe Hannity's producer, at the very least, understood what was going wrong there.

Ah yes, as everyone knows, when House Democrats began their impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon, it was universally accepted that they had (checks notes) "the goods" on him.

Yes, yes, that's *definitely* what happened back then.
I mean, let's just review the evidence.

As you can plainly see... Wait, wait, that's not it.

Here's the tweet I was looking for -- aw, dammit.

I found an interesting figure who I haven't seen anyone talk about. He's on the Board of Trustees for the Santa Fe Institute, the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, and the Aspen Institute.

This morning we’re launching something special: the #1619project, an effort from @NYTmag & @nytimes to mark the 400th anniversary of the start of American slavery. The project begins with a special issue of the magazine: nyti.ms/31JsMtb ... 1/15
The idea of the issue is this: the moment, in late August of 1619, when a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia carrying 20-30 enslaved people from the African nations of Ndongo and Kongo—this is the country’s “birthday,” its true origin point ... 2/15
Thinking this way can really reframe your understanding of American history and the consequences of slavery. The essays in the magazine all take up an aspect of contemporary American life and show its historical roots in this period, and the racism it fostered and required...3/15

Finally got to watch @apollo11movie and was curious who this was...
Her name is JoAnn Morgan, and she was the only woman inside the control room at the historic launch of #Apollo11 in 1969. A glimpse of her is seen in this documentary, but that’s only the beginning of her story.
At the time, JoAnn was a 28-year-old instrumentation controller and the first woman permitted to be inside the firing room (where all personnel were locked in 30 minutes before blastoff) during an Apollo launch. #Apollo11

1/ In response to some recent request, a quick thread about how I teach with my smartphone app and website for local history, @SpokaneHistoric.
2/ First of all. I did not invent Spokane Historical, it runs on @Curatescape, developed by @urbanhumanist and @ebellempire at Cleveland State University. Thanks, friends!
3/ The best how-to guide for creating content was written by @aaronbcowan for his Curatescape project, ButlerHistorical.org. You can read it here: curatescape.org/wp-content/upl…
