@historians.org NewspaperArchive is still down more than a month later, and I've seen you do absolutely zero to address the issue of what ought to be readily available--the nation's historic newspapers--plopped behind a paywall by a company that couldn't be bothered with security measures.

My latest article, 'Everyday Giving: Food, Emotions and Community in England, 1760-1850', has been published in @enghistrev.bsky.social! It uses coroners' inquests to reconstruct everyday food-giving practices in 18th- and 19th-century labouring communities 🍞🍗🥕 academic.oup.com/ehr/advance-...
@cnn.com Give this to John Berman, since he was trying to draw a diagram of blame with Noem, Miller, Bovino and Trump.

@jrakove.bsky.social The refusal of the DoJ to cooperate with state officials in MN to investigate the Good murder reminds me of the 1774 Administration of Justice Act, "The Murdering Act." Speed-running the American Revolution . . .
Brilliant historian's take in a thread
An observation apropos of the semi/q/centennial: I find myself thinking of my late friend Pauline Maier's first book (she came from St. Paul), From Resistance to Revolution. One of big takeaways was the idea of extra-legal resistance, which meant opposition to questionable actions of government.

@sethcotlar.bsky.social what is the deal with this press? I was looking for a copy of The Jews and their Lies by Martin Luther and this was on internet archive but it seems like the press is a bit sus.

So Team Trump claims they couldn't brief Congress re Venezuela attack to protect operational security, but that apparently didn't apply to oil company execs. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I agree with Secretary Pete. ATC workers have tremendously high rates of stress-related illness and are entitled to any time off that they need to take.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.
Remember
When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
@matthewcappucci.bsky.social constantly impresses me with his meteorology writing and speaking.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Hey Chris Murphy's intern: I am completely serious about this. Ask him to get with Congressional leaders and have them begin meeting AS A CONGRESS without the sanction of the Speaker. A shadow Congress, or what the Brits used to call an "anti-parliament."
@hcrichardson.bsky.social Why don't the Democrats and any agreeable Republicans just convene themselves as Congress and continue transacting business? Theres historical precedent for alternative representative institutions.
