Super happy with the cover for the new book. Always a pleasure to work with the University Press of Kansas

Also they have good copyeditors, which some of us authors really need.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

Damn, that's a fantastic video for a campaign launch.

What Trump values in his appointees Trump will defend people who appear strong and loyal to him; it's a weakness

@smotus.bsky.social brings good analysis and context to Signalgate. you should read it! open.substack.com/pub/smotus/p...

I’ve seen a lot of assumptions in the media that Trump (and Musk) are targeting institutions with loyalty tests.

But that’s not quite right. They’re using dominance tests. And the difference between these two things matter. 🧵

This is a test. If they get away with this, they’ll come after American citizens. Native born citizens. Any citizen. Potentially you.

Email sent to FDA staff informs that agency leadership canceled the agency's LexisNexis subscription, even though staff need this tool to research legal and regulatory information as part of their jobs.

Mike Flynn, who pushed for Trump to declare martial law and seize dictatorial power after losing reelection in 2020, is now on the board of West Point.

Jackie Robinson’s Army career wiped from military website in DEI purge Robinson trained as an officer and was assigned to a tank regiment during World War II.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past.

a popular victory imbues you with the sovereign authority of the people and gives you unbounded power to do whatever you want IS a system of government it's just not the one we have in THIS country.

The Department of Justice was created in 1870 with an explicit mission to protect civil rights and enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

The DOJ went after the Klan hard, securing thousands of indictments and 600+ convictions within the first year alone.

How about restoring *that* focus?

Also likely most archivists would refer you to NARA public affairs right now, but maybe try Tim Naftali who used to run the RMN Library
