ICYMI. In response to the EO that conflates Confederate monuments with “history,” @uncpress.bsky.social is offering my book on the history of these statues for FREE until April 11th. Here’s the link! www.book2look.com/book/SO9q2ZB...

The EO that included restoring monuments/memorials on federal property is a full-on embrace of Confederate ideology. Beginning Monday @uncpress.bsky.social will make my book No Common Ground available to read FOR FREE for the next two weeks. Educate yourself about what this embrace means. ✊

Executive orders are not laws. Letter to santa. Note from tooth fairy. Egg from Easter bunny. Not law

A student on Bruen/gun rights: "I know Roberts said SCOTUS should be an umpire calling balls & strikes, but this felt more like a base runner going spikes up into 2nd & destroying the shortstop’s ankle while the umpire just shrugs & looks the other way because that’s how Ty Cobb would have done it."

In our most recent MUSTER piece, @laughschultz.bsky.social writes about using visual sources to teach the antislavery movement www.journalofthecivilwarera.org/2024/11/teac...

Have an idea for something you'd like to publish in MUSTER? Send an email to @robertdbland.bsky.social (he's a professor at Univ. of Tennessee-Knoxville). Here's his recent call for articles on teaching experiences and pedagogy: www.journalofthecivilwarera.org/2024/10/call...

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Anyone still want in? Interested in the history of the Civil War era. This is a dynamite group of historians that cover a great deal of ground. I love the fact that I can use social media to engage historians, who have taught me so much over the years. 🗃️https://go.bsky.app/PvxCKyk

"Imagine a future in which Donald Trump gets to choose which non-profits are allowed to exist and any non-profit he, or JD Vance, doesn't like can be labelled a terrorist org and stripped of its tax exempt status." That's what we need to stop today.
