Honored (and grateful!) to get this vote of confidence in (and funding help for) my research. My book (which constellates antebellum Quaker women—Black and white—who fought for emancipation and suffrage from the 1830s-1860s) will be out via Beacon Press in 2028.

Hillary Clinton doesn't recall meeting Jeffrey Epstein - yet we're led to believe she'll have valuable testimony.

While Leon Black had $507 million in wire transfers to Epstein's shell companies & his wife Debra Black another $385 million.

ARE WE SEEING THEIR DEPOSITIONS NEXT WEEK?

Fact check: The tariffs aren't paid for by foreign countries like Trump just claimed.

They are paid for by Americans, and foreign countries are bullied into doing Trump and his cronies favors to get out of them.

This grifter in chief is full of it!

Trump stole $1,700 from the average American family with his illegal tariff tax. It’s been 30 minutes. He hasn’t once mentioned how he is going to pay back your hard-earned money.

If you're going to PLA or ALA, you might want this app, given what we know happened at the last ALA from unsavory folks.

I think it’s important to look at this kind of project within the broader frame of coordinated attacks from the state and the right on gender, post-colonial and area studies, as well as the push to revive/launder biologically essentialist views of sex, race and intelligence

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Up on JSTOR Daily today: my article on the history and perplexing persistence of women taking men’s names in marriage, something almost 80% of hetero brides still do. (“Women’s rights, forsooth!”)
