If you were among the 8.3 billion people who missed this event live, take heart: there’s this recording. It was great to discuss the book with such a great historian as Eliga Gould as well as the audience youtube.com/watch?v=KjTa...

Comparing Trump to Andrew Jackson has long been the done thing - heck, I’ve done it in essay form myself. But all this talk of annexing Canada and Greenland to the empire is giving me strong James K Polk vibes

Bluesky is now complete with my first post. What a joy and honor it was to join other Ira Berlin PhD students on a special tribute session at the SHA. And good fun to connect with friends (I’m seen here contemplating their brilliance).
