I hung out all weekend with Edda Fields-Black and I just read that she won this year’s Pulitzer Prize in history for Combee. I couldn’t be happier for her. So well deserved.

Our most enthusiastic congratulations to Edda Fields-Black and everyone who helped bring COMBEE to life! The 2025 Pulitzer committee called it "a richly-textured and revelatory account of a slave rebellion": https://oxford.ly/44XGZX4 #History

New work just published in In Parentheses. It’s a personal piece that explores difficult choices and their weight. I wrote it with care, and I hope it’s read the same way. CW: reproductive decisions, grief, emotional ambiguity Not a celebration. Just an attempt at truth. inparentheses.art #CNF

What do Juneteenth, Passover and the Fourth of July have in common? They are all celebrations of freedom. On those Holidays we don't celebrate slavery of Blacks or Jews or our subjugation under George III. Revisionist history is the road to fascism.

Are you a history professor who has been pressured to alter your curriculum — particularly regarding the history of Black & African American people in the United States? We would love to talk to you. Send us a DM!

I'm not trying to freak you out but it took Thomas Jefferson more than a year to admit to himself that his 1807 Embargo Act was a terrible idea, and he'd never told someone that you could cure an illness by drinking bleach

“Americans really like book festivals and local history museums…We especially like it when such gifts are available to everyone, and not just to those who can afford the price of a ticket.” Excellent @margaretrenkl.bsky.social on the high ROI of the NEH. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

Grateful to have been able to see so many people at OAH this year, even if briefly. I hope many of us see each other again in Philly next year. It’s hard to imagine the future right now.

I know it's so far in the future, and maybe we'll be fighting all sorts of other battles then, but I really really hope we remember, and honour, the institutions that didn't roll over and collaborate.

The National Humanities Alliance is collecting information on canceled NEH grants to share with congressional leaders. This is legit fact finding in support of competent lobbying. If you've had your grant canceled, do let them know. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I applaud Howard University for starting the 14th Amendment Center. It's appropriate & timely. The 14th Amendment created personal liberty. And it resulted from Black struggle. Trump's EO against "divisive history" destroys knowledge of how we all attained freedom. www.nytimes.com/2018/07/26/o...

An EO that promotes myths, U.S. nationalism, and white men’s history. They’re pretty transparent about the fragility of their white manhood. This is a disgrace. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Just curious. How many of you are being inundated with texts from dem campaigns. I need to find a way to overcome my annoyance. STOP doesn’t work. “Report Junk” doesn’t either. Do they know how alienating it is to receive ten text spams a day? Democrats, why do you allow this spam in your name?

Hey @actblueorg.bsky.social, I am a Dem who has regularly contributed to all sorts of national, state and local races. However, until you provide a feature to remove my phone number from the spam texts from every damn campaign on planet earth, I can’t continue to donate. Please address.
