The EO that included restoring monuments/memorials on federal property is a full-on embrace of Confederate ideology. Beginning Monday @uncpress.bsky.social will make my book No Common Ground available to read FOR FREE for the next two weeks. Educate yourself about what this embrace means. ✊

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

I did this back in August - it was so very helpful. Open for January now!

A student on Bruen/gun rights: "I know Roberts said SCOTUS should be an umpire calling balls & strikes, but this felt more like a base runner going spikes up into 2nd & destroying the shortstop’s ankle while the umpire just shrugs & looks the other way because that’s how Ty Cobb would have done it."

Anyone still want in? Interested in the history of the Civil War era. This is a dynamite group of historians that cover a great deal of ground. I love the fact that I can use social media to engage historians, who have taught me so much over the years. 🗃️https://go.bsky.app/PvxCKyk
