Today, Mary Todd Lincoln finally gets her voice back. My book is out now via @simonbooks.bsky.social, and presents a very different Mary than the woman you think you know. Order: tinyurl.com/yc5uud3s

New from me in @time.com: Abraham Lincoln’s depression was often interpreted as a source of empathy & gravitas for him. Mary Lincoln's emotional struggles were labeled as a character flaw. An Inconvenient Widow is out May 19 from @simonbooks.bsky.social. Preorder: tinyurl.com/yc5uud3s

Inauguration Day, 1861. Sharpshooters on the rooftops. A nation on the brink of war. A first lady in waiting, terrified for her husband's life. Read about the frightening day through Mary Lincoln's eyes in an excerpt from my book in the @washingtonian.com. May issue, on newsstands now.

My book on Mary Todd Lincoln comes out in three weeks. She was a prolific letter writer, and her correspondence helps tell the real story of her life. Not the caricature we inherited.

Good piece from @loisromano.bsky.social. Two things I think are helpful for understanding Mary Lincoln: 1) She was *exceptionally* well-educated for her time — one man watched her translate Victor Hugo on the fly, keeping the power of the original French — which may have had an alienating effect.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities? Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children? And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?
