“What would have to happen for me to concede that the United States is beyond hope?”

🤣🤣

Listening to NPR right now and the point is being made about just what a shame it is that our 250th Anniversary is just trash now. And it's so true. There could have been so many forms of celebration of America (not just music but everything) but, yeah, now it's just all turned to shit.

A round up of this week's @250to250.bsky.social one-minute videos about U.S. History:

Interesting read since I know Johnstown as birthplace of my grandmother. My great-grandparents emigrated from Italy (lured?) by promise of jobs in Johnstown, however the timeline is after the flood. I think the early years of last century, replacement workers? 🤔 @hcrichardson.bsky.social

That *is* an answer.

Tickled to hear both Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social & Duran Duran in same video ... 😲❤️ youtu.be/0OwkhJmohZI

Pete Buttigieg is a former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a veteran, and the 19th U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Buttigieg tells us about the Erie Canal, the engineering marvel that opened up the interior of the United States. #WeAreAmerica250

Heather Cox Richardson tells the story of the Constitutional Convention, where 55 delegates constructed the framework for a new government. #WeAreAmerica250

United States Representative Chrissy Houlahan shares how the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, proposed by Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith, changed the military forever. #WeAreAmerica250

Introducing 250 to 250: A series of one-minute stories of the many people, places, and events that have built our country and remind us of the power of each person to make history. #WeAreAmerica250

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Fresh from the release of their new single ‘Free To Love’ featuring Nile Rodgers, Duran Duran return with two electrifying new reworks of the track from acclaimed dance music heavyweights Horse Meat Disco and DJ White Shadow. 🎶✨🎉 Download here: orcd.co/freetolovere... befreetolove ❤️

We’re in📍Trenton today testifying in support of the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act of New Jersey (S282) which will strengthen our democracy & remove barriers to the ballot. As federal voting protections are eroded, it’s essential to protect & expand voting rights in the Garden State.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

I’m so furious about how stupid everything is

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Oh, he is just NEVER gonna shut up about this. But yes, @hcrichardson.bsky.social visited us last week and it was AWESOME. Even though we have to grudgingly give our boss props for it. Thanks for visiting us, Dr. Richardson! We think you’re great even if you are friends with Todd.

In case you’re like me and can’t or won’t speak to your mother, you can borrow my pretend internet “moms” helping me get through these times. True historian heroes! (To me anyway)🫶 @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/n_xrcMH...

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

Roberts dropping that “we’re not political actors” quote and doing this 96 hours later is nasty work

Well this aged terribly

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

My mom was one of New Jersey's first female cops. She taught me about hard work and determination and never giving up. Moms don't quit. They push us to be better. To all the moms out there, thank you for everything you do. Happy Mother's Day.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social's May 7th politics chat ended w/ discussing state courts. Georgia has a Supreme Court race on May 19th. In NC, our Supreme court & Court of Appeals Dem justices are fighting to keep their seats in November! State courts are CRITICAL to a healthy democracy! #StateCourts ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🇲🇽 Over his lifetime, Walt Disney received a number of honors from the country of Mexico, including the Order of the Aztec Eagle and the Key to the City of Guadalajara.

Comments by tomorrow!

This event was fantastic! Screening, Q&A, performance by Bway cast, and special guest Hilary Clinton.

This.

MASSIVE turn out in Raleigh, North Carolina for #MayDay! Across the country, we are standing up to demand a country that puts workers over billionaires. ❌👑

I am increasingly persuaded that in addition to whatever legislative remedies are agreed upon, public hearings should be held to fully expose the raw corruption that fuels Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh and their ties to the cult of Opus Dei.

April 30, 2026

This week, the Supreme Court finally killed off the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I've spent the past decade studying the VRA and the attacks on it, so I thought I would offer some historical perspective, and where I think we're headed. This will be a long thread; buckle up.

Good Morning and happy #MayDay! May Day is International Workers Day commemorating the strike to demand an 8-hour work day. We stand in solidarity with workers around the country. This May Day you should ✅ Take up space ✅ Spend no money ✅ Do no work ✅ Be a menace & snooze in a bed of flowers 🌺

Monday in NYC! @suffsmusical.bsky.social

Starting now!

The webinar is today - Thursday 4/30 savingplaces.org/eeob Comments by May 6 @hcrichardson.bsky.social @hcrhq.bsky.social
