Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

What the hell is a GW?!

It would still be a crescendo if it started at ppp or pppp

Unfortunately, this event has been postponed until September. Bummer! The history will still appear in my report on City Hall/Market Square, due in May. Stay tuned y'all!

We have this saying in my house but it's wine- there's always money for wine.

DC area friends--go hear what my former MA student has to tell you about 18th-century slave sales. #earlymodern

Ticket sales are lagging, threatening to cancel the event altogether. That would be a real disappointment! Proceeds benefit the Office of Historic Alexandria. Go get tickets if you can!

The Alexandria Forum The Alexandria Forum, through scholarly research and community-driven approaches, explores historical topics related to Alexandria.

It is legal to use deadly force against government agents who have entered your home illegally.

Lots of people killed by autos in New Orleans during the early 20th century. 6mph was faster than people were accustomed to and it seems like neither drivers nor pedestrians could judge how to handle it.

This was a major theme of my "how to be a historian" lecture at the beginning of last semester! I didn't exactly thunder but "Tell the Truth" was the number one rule. I'll try to thunder next time!

If Democrats attend the SOTU, they should all hold signs that say "Epstein" the entire time

the factories are deportation factories, and they are being built

ugh

what a time for Georgetown to announce "free AI for all"

Friends & colleagues: please allow me in little self-promotion. I'll be in Ghent 25 May-15 June and Leiden 16 June-7 July for research (geopolitics permitting!). If anyone would like me to come talk to their group/class about my 1572 project, I am happy to do so. Just send me a DM. #earlymodern

Today isn't Presidents Day.
