I think he may actually believe this. He has created an alt-reality in his head and lives in a bubble where no one disputes him. And I think he may actually believe his own lies re Epstein. He has said it so many times, that he may actually believe he’s not in the files. Anyway, it’s a theory. 🤷‍♂️

Ooohhhh, cliffhanger ending for Episode 2. Whatever will happen next? Will the plucky Americans succeed? Tune in to episodes 3-5 to find out! 😉 I'm off the live feed on Tuesday, but I'll be looking for #HATM on Wednesday for Episode 4.

Did I miss mention of the fact that they'd already vote for independence two days earlier (July 2nd)? 🤷‍♂️ #HATM

Are we totally going to pan past the whole Committee of Five???? This is some serious Roger Sherman erasure. 🥸 #HATM

Josiah Bartlett... the Bartletts are in the house! #HATM

Are we just going to ignore the criminal lack of the letter s in all these documents. Maybe if England had allowed American printers more s type blocs, maybe they wouldn't have rebelled. Just sayin' 🙃🥸 #HATM

Arnold's assault on Quebec is like literally insane, right? #HATM

...at least for the next 90 years. 🤷‍♂️😬 #HATM

"We're all Americans" - George Washington 👀 - William Lee #HATM

Are we going to get an explanation of why history doesn't remember this as the Battle of Breed's Hill? #HATM

Just realized the British flag that the camera just panned over was period accurate, without the red St Patrick's cross. Nice touch. #HATM

My Vermonter heritage is totally down with the Ethan Allen and Ticonderoga opening. #GreenMountainBoys #HATM

Okay, I'm going in. Going to start watching Ken Burns AmRev Ep 2 at 5pm PST. I'm not an expert, but I've been teaching elements of the Revolution to APUSH classes for a couple of decades... so I'm a bit of a generalist on this subject. #HATM

This is quite the “banality of evil” story. The tow service guy who argues that it’s not his problem, he’s just “doing his job” towing cars and charging the families hundreds of dollars. That’s what complicity looks like.

Just checking in… any #HATM folks watching the American Revolution Episode Two tonight? I’m thinking about running it at 8pm EST as all the episodes are now available on the PBS.org website. If anyone else is watching, I’ll chat along.

The whole Tea Party and part about the boy being beaten with a stick was cribbed straight from George Hewes memoir, fwiw. I used to use excerpts from Hewes in class. #HATM

"No American had consented to the tea tax, therefore no American ought pay it." So... can we apply that argument to tariffs? #HATM

The Committees of Correspondence... the @bsky.app of the late Colonial era. 🤓 #HATM

I love telling the story how young GW ignited a global conflict while losing to the French... and then wrote an amaing suck-up letter to Braddock to get on his staff. So not the legend we hold on to from hsi later exploits. 🤣 #HATM

So after the @herberthistory.bsky.social had Richard Bell on to discuss his book "The American Revolution and the Fate of the World" I started to listen to the book. It's a great take on different perspectives on the AmRev. Really dives into a global story (and the indigenous impact). #HATM

My feed needs more obscure Parks and Rec content. 🤓

Had another great day of students rolling up characters and building backstories for their characters using the robust and historically based character creation system for “Haunted West” by @darkerhue.bsky.social in service of a project exploring the history of “the West.” #APUSH #RPG #EduSky 🗺️

just a reminder www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwcK...

Happy Whalesplosion Day to all who celebrate. Today we remember all mad, bad, and just plain wtf ideas.

The American Public already knows where the Republican Party stands… you’re the only one who doesn’t know where the Republican Party stands. 🤦‍♂️

Just finished reading final student reflections after my AfAmStudies students finished reading “Wake” by @wakerevolt.bsky.social This book hits so hard; both the stories of women-led revolts and the story of the persistence of Dr Hall inspired my students. Y’all should read this book. #APAFAM 🗺️

Somewhere in Colorado, David Lightman is frantically convincing the computer that it's a game not worth playing.... that's my ending 🫠 #HATM

Cliffhanger cut ending!!!! #HATM

When the guy with the nuclear football runs off... the shit's getting real. 😳 #HATM

OMG... POTUS walks into the arena to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins... Absolutley no subtext in that song choice, nope, none at all. #HATM

Cliffhanger cut to Act III.... #HATM

YAAASSSSS!!!! #HATM

So that White House promenade that they just ran done is so not realistic... not enough gold filagree. 😬😒 #HATM

Speaking of "Hitting a Bullet with a Bullet" [Nice timing on the post!] #HATM

"What are they going to do, hide under their desks?" #HATM

So this seems like a good time to share the NukeMap website. You can drop a nuclear bomb on any map location, select the size of any known tested weapon, and see the various damage radii and fallout patterns. 😬 It's a regular feature when we cover the Cold War in APUSH. #HATM

Wow, this film is loaded with "hey, it's that guy!" characters. #HATM

If nobody refers to that big wall display as "the big board" I want my money back! 🙃 #HATM #HouseOfDynamite #DoctorStrangelove

Defcon... Cheyenne Mountain... these are terms I first learned about from WarGames (1983) 🤓 #HATM

When is House of Dynamite set? #HATm

Jumping in to House of Dynamite 6m late as a boardgaming session (🤓) went late. But I'm all in now for a #HATM watch of a movie that I haven['t seen yet. Did I miss anything crucial in the 1st 6m? 🤔

"I will teach real history. I will celebrate diversity. I will welcome and love every student regardless of any of the labels they were made to feel bad for. I refuse to silently watch as our country descends into fascism." www.humanrestorationproject.org/writing/ther...

Stay classy, America. Part Trois.

Death by Lightning is phenomenal. 🤩 They tell a really good story while packing in so many Garfield/Guiteau Easter eggs… it was so much fun to watch. I cannot wait for the Reckoning #HATM podcast with @herberthistory.bsky.social and @btarrington.bsky.social (maybe? yes? 🤞) 🗺️

Starting a watch of “Death by Lightening” and I’m already geeking out. Literally starts with Guiteau’s brain!!! 🤩 Also, re the opening title card… I did not forget! #HATM 🤓

Stay classy, America. Part Deux.

With no due respect, fuck the Roberts’ Court.

I didn’t realize this dropped yesterday!!! What have I been doing with my life? #HATM

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! #HATM
