A sharp, engaging history of the Capetian dynasty that shaped medieval France. A great read for anyone interested in medieval Europe, state-building, or how dynasties craft power and legacy. Highly recommended. #history #books #france #medieval

A unique look at the decades leading up to the French Revolution through the experiences of Parisians. This is not simply a telling of what happened but how people made sense of what was happening through information provided to them via talk, print, music, performances. #history #booksky #france

Might have some psychosis going on there @schumer.senate.gov

It’s no wonder Dems lose to Trump when it’s people like Chuck leading the party.

Pitting the military against citizens has always worked out well for rulers in the past. Just ask Louis XVI of France and Nicholas II of Russia.

We need a stronger Democratic Party.

This current crop still isn't it.

They still don't get it.

Just a reminder that if you ever find yourself wondering how much Donald Trump *actually* cares about urban safety, remember that on September 11th while you were mourning 3,000 American dead he was on television boasting about how he now had the tallest building in New York City

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

First, Trump blatantly ignored the Constitution by taking offensive military action without congressional approval. Now, his administration is refusing to come before Congress and provide answers.

This is unacceptable, and I’m signing on to a War Powers Resolution to stop it.
