If you wrote a book about US civil rights, especially in the 19th century, I would like to know about it. I also like dumb jokes.

Probably doesn't need to be said, but by winning, Dems could also "explain" the meaning of the election to advance whatever goals (hopefully court reform and anticorruption) they want to prioritize.

Excited for #WHA2026 next week—learning, celebrating research, being w/ old friends & making new ones. PLEASE say hi if you see me alone feigning busyness. That's just my paralyzing social anxiety exhibiting. I'm an introvert/extrovert that LOVES conversation but struggles w/ initial engagement 1/9

Not just online. The GOP needs to come out and forcefully denounce people like Bo French who are platforming this stuff and make it a part of their campaigns.

I think they can and do, but write this slop anyway. I think it's intentional and purposeful. People like Bret Stephens continue with it b/c it's a way for him to put a facade on his bigotry. I think at this point we no longer have to give these people any benefit of the doubt.

His whole schtick is stupid decisions made impulsively to perform masculinity b/c he's insecure. Every single thing he's done since being nominated fits this pattern b/c he's a moron and a moral degenerate.

Reading it now. The number of places Sol Bloom pops up still always surprises me. At some point I should just assume if an event had more than 500 people in the first half of the 20th century, he's behind the scenes.

I think it does matter b/c ICE is not competent at performing criminal investigations. They don't get the kind of training your typical LEO gets in collecting and preserving evidence. Choosing that LEO to serve this warrant and collect evidence clarifies that this is flagrant intimidation.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

The slaughterhouse cases are definitely important, but I think they would be kind of hard to teach b/c they seem reasonable until you realize what they're actually doing. I wish I knew a good book on it. There's the one by Labbe and Lurie but it's I think it'd be a little technical and dull for HS.

Varon's book on Longstreet has some good info. Kidada William's books and Fergus Bordewich's Klan War spend a lot of time looking at Louisiana. Lee Ann Keith's book on the Colfax Massacre is key too. Foner's work is broader but also essential and good for an panoramic view of the era.

Cruickshank is key, b/c it basically blessed political violence (and really just violence period) against Black Americans, but there's three CJs in a row (Waite, Fuller, and White) that twist the Reconstruction Amendments beyond recognition to enshrine discrimination into the law.

Sec 3 is about state officers though. I'm interested in how this plays out but I assume that part of the complaint will get dismissed b/c the ct doesn't have juris under this law to apply it to Feds. Not an expert on it by any stretch though, so we'll see.

This kind of makes sense to in re: Alito & Roberts apparent belief that there's some huge majority for them that's getting swamped by the voter fraud. Alito & Roberts seem legitimately foxpilled on this. I assumed the others were just using it, but it seems like they're gulping the koolaid too.

For a long time I thought that more aggressive anticorruption language would be popular with the electorate, and if there was follow through, people would go nuts. I get why it doesn't really happen, it takes long time and the SCOTUS makes it trickier with their Calvinball ass jurisprudence.

in 2008 major people in the GOP like Jindal were expressely saying they hoped Obama would fail. The right wing news media was banging that drum everyday and the GOP was falling in line. After the primaries in 2010 they went to work on that.
