Fulton Co. Chair Rob Pitts: "After the 2020 elections, Fulton County poll workers endured brutal and targeted harassment…While we've grown accustomed to name calling & rhetoric, we will not give one inch to those who seek to take control of our elections."

Today was my last day at the Eisenhower Library. I came across a 1964 letter Dwight Eisenhower wrote warning against “hate-filled people who set themselves up as super-patriots and, so doing, try to destroy the rights, liberties and opportunities of the average loyal American.” Worth heeding 🗃️

It’s the last day of class. Students in my African American history course have created community and inspired me in a time of backlash and rising fascism. Today, we’re reading John Lewis’s timeless, posthumously published op-ed. Revisit it with us: www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/o...

Heartened to see that close to 900 fellow academics and educators have already signed our letter in support of trans rights, trans wellbeing & trans inclusion, and against essentialist, anti-scientific, racialised & regressive views of womanhood. Please do read, share & sign! tinyurl.com/mud7va29
This is kind of important: he is saying the law allows you to be a bigot, but it doesn't require you to be.
Anyone, including the government, who chooses, say, to stop trans women using female toilets is doing so because they want to, not because they are forced to.

In McGregor’s case, more than an allegation - he was as found guilty in a civil case in Ireland in November
It’s difficult to express without expletives how much the vast majority of people in Ireland are utterly disgusted by this … total f**king disgrace www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

My books finally arrived! Very grateful to the team at @cambridgeup.bsky.social for the superb production and supporting the project.
Thinking today of the late David Fitzpatrick who began this project and to whom it is dedicated, and also of my mother who would have loved to see it in print.
🧵 🗃️ It saddens me to have to bring you news of yet another casualty of the Trump administration's war on any history that does not conform to a white-centered narrative.
For the past few summers I've worked with teachers at Arlington National Cemetery. The historians and educational staff...
I think people are missing the reality of the growing US-Russian alliance under Putin and Trump. Its not going to force a ceasefire on Ukraine, it will be to help Russia try to win the war. The US is now an active enemy of freedom.
