Hey folks:

Looks like I'll be on Velshi on MSNBC tomorrow at about 10AM ET talking about violent GOP rhetoric and its impact.

Because being a historian of late 18th and early 19th century political violence has far more relevance than it should have...

If you think that during a DJT presidency you’ll have the right to protest against policies you disagree with, you’re sadly mistaken.

The whim of the man in power will reign over all.

Over your rights.
Over your opinions.
Over everything.

That’s authoritarianism.

ianism

Somehow, this was a state of the Union address AND a campaign speech.
He was aggressive.
He presented a vision.
He was passionate.
He went for over an hour.
He dealt with hecklers.
He's ready to fight.

SHUT UP about the doddering old guy rhetoric.
PLEASE.
For crying out loud.

BIden has been talking for over an hour.

But yeah.
He's too old for this job.

Just stop.

HISTORY IS WATCHING.

Indeed, it is.
I can vouch.

The New York Times is reporting that two of the three people being detained for the Kansas City shooting are younger than 18 years old.

A mass shooting by teenagers not yet of legal age.

Good thing it was FRICKIN' EASY FOR THEM TO GET GUNS.

Hey folks:

If you head over to Instagram and go to Heather Cox Richardson's page or my page, you'll find the first episode of something that we plan to do regularly; we're two historians looking at the news.

This was our first stab. Watch for more! We'll announce new episodes as they appear. (Can't tell you how happy I am to be history-hanging-out with Heather again!)
