With news that NPS is implementing an EO by deleting info about slavery and climate change, I thought I'd share this article, where Greg Downs & I describe our experience w/NPS's commitment to good history. This is precisely what the admin is trying to destroy.

All travelers from ESTA countries (yes the ones on visa waiver programs) will have to disclose 5 years of social media + huge amounts of personal data to enter the US now. All US academic associations should now meet outside the US if we want to meet our international colleagues.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

This is nuts. Think that is the appropriate legal term for this 'Exclusive Citizenship Act' bill. Includes a generic clause that 'An individual may not be a citizen or national of the United States while simultaneously possessing any foreign citizenship.' (Sec 4(b)) What does that even mean?
