I know there’s a lot going on but…

I am very excited to share the cover for my book - “The Republican House Divided: Civil War Memory, Civil Rights, and the Transformation of the GOP” - which is forthcoming this Fall with @uscpress.bsky.social!

Pre-order here: uscpress.com/The-Republic...

Why has BBC News Channel put former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie to react to the BBC Director General / BBC News boss resign?

It’s obvious who the #BBC need to bring in right now to steady the ship

Earlier today I emailed my undergraduate dissertation students about the annotated bibliographies I’m asking them to produce. This is the mock example I offered.

Probably my best work as a lecturer 🗃️

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Jake Tapper must be too busy on his book tour
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

This is the most abysmal, pathetic thing. The BBC head resigning because the corporation is not supine *enough* to the far-right.

John Lawrence, former Pelosi chief of staff and also a trained historian, is in the NYT today writing about his old boss. Worth reading. 🗃️
i think this is a pretty good take on pelosi, who is unquestionably one of the most consequential house speakers in the history of the institution

Today, 1st year students on our "Libraries, Museums and Archives" module visited Lincoln Cathedral Library. This offered them the opportunity to learn and see first hand how such institutions developed.

These are just some of our staff and students on today's trip ⛪️🗃️

Victories in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey (and beyond) are not exactly upsets, but they should be encouraging for Democrats.

Figures across the party have run solid campaigns and connected with voters, all despite the unpopularity of congressional Democrats.

I choose to be optimistic!

Not sure what Google Maps are playing at. I’ve used Google Maps via CarPlay for years. In the last couple of days the direction arrows on instructions have gone, as has the ability to mute navigation on the CarPlay screen.

Any advice on how to get these features back?
