Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

If ICE agents come onto my campus, or the campus of K-12 schools, I want the school to use active shooter protocols: lock them out, hide the kids and staff, and call the police to inform them of armed gunmen on campus.

I don't even know what to say. I could barely watch the video. Nobody should be deported.

ICE targeting pre-schools. Let that sink in ... definitive proof, as if anyone needed any more of that, that ICE and federal law enforcement is not at all going after and selectively targeting the "worst of the worst" ...

“on Reddit, r/MyBoyfriendisAI has more than 85,000 members championing human-A.I. connections, with many sharing giddy recollections of the day their chatbot proposed marriage.” Hard not to see this as a symptom of an extremely sick society.

This is such an awesome, free way to support authors. Having our books in libraries helps spread the word about our work and makes it accessible to a wide audience! Thanks, Fritz!

In honor of the anniversary of the day 63 years ago when Khrushchev decided to remove Soviet missiles from Cuba, I have a piece in Time magazine reflecting on the importance of alliances: time.com/7327385/less... #History🗃️ Huge thanks to @carlygoodman.bsky.social and @cmcknichols.bsky.social

So excited for this! 4pm today—Hope to see you there!!

The contrast between this and Trump building a $300 million ballroom is giving French Revolution.

“The funny irony here is that in the wake of Trump’s post, now the whole world knows what Reagan said about tariffs as opposed to this just being targeted ads by the Ontario government”

This sounds like an awesome book!

One more anniversary thread from The Fate of the Americas before I leave tomorrow for the first leg of my book tour (Hi OH, PA, and NJ)! This one comes from a cool collection of left and right-wing pamphlets that intelligence agents in Argentina collected during the crisis... (1/12) #History 🗃️

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

National security risks compound with every deployment. This latest escalation of sending an aircraft carrier group to Latin America will more than do just that, it reveals priorities, because doing this means not doing something else while putting troops in harm's way www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Let's dive down to the local level for today's anniversary thread. Today's excerpt from The Fate of the Americas comes from a discovery I made in Bolivia's Foreign Ministry archive. Bolivia's ambassador to Colombia sent back a bunch of reports about how people in Bogotá... #History🗃️ (1/14)

Republicans got madder about Robert E Lee statues coming down than Trump desecrating the White House.

In memory of the White House's East Wing, a brief look at its history. Office of First Lady. Housed presidential bunker. Built during WWII & not original to rebuilt WH in 1820s, it actually dates to adding of terraces in Thomas Jefferson's time as president🗃️ www.townandcountrymag.com/society/poli...

Yesterday's thread was fun--let's do another! October 23 was another important day in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Most histories focus on the drama of the Soviet ships approaching the quarantine line, but I want to talk about how that quarantine was established in the first place #History🗃️... (1/13)

63 years ago today, on October 22, 1962, JFK revealed to the world that the Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. To mark the anniversary, I'm going to share an excerpt from The Fate of the Americas where I offer a new "take" on this famous speech... (1/16) #History 🗃️

I'm kicking off my book tour next week with stops in Columbus, OH and Philadelphia, PA! So excited and grateful for the chance to share some of The Fate of the Americas! #History 🗃️

If Democrats can’t force a vote on letting Trump literally steal a quarter billion dollars from the US treasury then what good is the party for?

Want to hear my thoughts about nuclear Armageddon? Check out this episode of @history-hit.bsky.social where I chat with Don Wildman about my book and nuclear war! Huge thanks to the whole team there for hosting me again! #History 🗃️

I’m always down to share fall leaf pics! Here are some trees in my neighborhood

When the generals wanted to take over in Chile in 1973, they had jets bomb the presidential palace. Leave it to a third-rate American real-estate developer to use bulldozers instead.

Dear friends: I am SO EXCITED to announce the release of the first episode of the SECOLAS audio documentary mini-series on the Cuban Missile Crisis that I co-produced with Dustin Walcher! (thread 1/7) #History 🗃️ soundcloud.com/historiaspod...

One of my favorite parts of yesterday’s protest!

It was quite an historic day of No Kings protests around the US and the world. History Has Its Eyes On Us.🗃️ @hcrichardson.bsky.social October 18, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The first Reno Women’s March in Jan. 2017 was 10,000 strong - the largest protest Reno had seen. Today, our community nearly doubled that number for #NoKings. Northern Nevada is loud and clear that we will not tolerate hate and division. @50501nnv.bsky.social @renoactiongroup.bsky.social

I just, I’m obsessed. I love it so much.

❤️❤️❤️
