When they tell you who they are, believe them: they want to keep Mein Kampf and remove I know why the Caged Bird Sings. Memo says they will “determine an appropriate ultimate disposition." Just say it: this is book burning.

In honor of reaching 3k on Bluesky (thanks all!), I thought I'd share some of what I do as an historian. My first book was on California's Orange Empire—inspired by digging into the background of a pivotal scene in The Grapes of Wrath, when oranges were being destroyed while people starved. 🗃️

Absolutely disgraceful on the part of Brown University. They want us to believe that the university can't find the money for one of the best history resources available. I can't tell you how many times I have recommended the modules on historical memory. 🗃️ www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...
