The Koch family taking over Getty Images makes me worried as a historian given their political stances.

These are the stakes: to make a world in which all of God's children can live, or to go into the dark. We must either love each other, or we must die.

I listened to this podcast about the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision earlier today. It really changed my perspective on the Chevron doctrine. #SCOTUS open.spotify.com/episode/411l...

As someone who studies railroads in the Gilded Age, I think this is the big distinction that a lot of comparisons between that period and our current Big Tech boom miss. The public wanted railroads to be used for social advancement in a way that most AI technologies don't seem to be bringing.

#HATM folks, I'm really not sure what to make of this movie. The cast is amazing, but my brain is in "school starts Tuesday" mode and my attention span is suffering. I'm not sure what hasn't been revealed vs. what I might have missed.

I think the Supreme Court's decision to legalize ubiquitous sports gambling is likely to have negative long-term consequences.

Someone commented earlier that it was controversial that Rene Russo played the love interest based on her age. I primarily know her from Yours Mine and Ours, where she was also a love interest and came out later, so I found that surprising. #HATM

I'm curious about what my fellow U.S. historians think about this essay. For me, it makes a compelling argument and goes hand-in-hand with recent efforts to refer to the Union Army as the "U.S. Army." #skystorians www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o...

Please give this page a follow! It's a public history project by debbielinsleyliles.bsky.social mapping the migration of enslaved people into TX in the 19th century. & if you know anything about the Civil War, you know that's a lot of enslaved people especially from 1860-65, as slavery spread west 🗃️
