I’m teaching my class on Detroit again this fall and so I am collecting material for my opening lecture on the evolving and varied identity of the city: from the Motor City to the Arsenal of Democracy to Motown to the capital of the twentieth century to the Dirty D to Techno City and more.

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵
