To mark the 50th anniversary of the Journal of Medieval History we’ve asked eight distinguished historians each to use an article from the journal’s first five years as a jumping off point to discuss historiographical trends. @tandfresearch.bsky.social

I'm not going to be tricked into thinking that hate is a sin. That vitriol from below is somehow equivalent to death from above. The sin is tearing families apart. The sin is fascism. The sin is staying silent, being unmoved by the currents we all feel. Hatred is what we need

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

This week on the podcast we are out here talking about how nationalist stories are usually just stories. Also I am talking about how I want to kiss Alhambra. Thank you.

Akua Reindorf is profoundly ignorant about the history gender activism.I spoke to her face to face about it. During our conversation, she professed to, for example, never have heard of Sandy Stone, and thought that "trans activism" was a phenomenon only of the last decade. She's an ideological hack.

I'm old enough to remember anti-trans activists saying "no-one is talking about taking rights away from trans people" and here we have an EHRC commissioner saying "yup, we've correctly taken away their rights"

My gf goes to bed. When she gets up in the morning, I go "they did this to trans people last night" and then she goes to work and comes home for lunch and i say "they did this to trans people this morning" and then she goes back to work and when she finishes for the day.... It just never stops.

"You're technically not losing rights, because you've been operating under the misapprehension that you had more rights than you actually did" Cool man. I have a report that you may find very interesting

Puritan authoritarianism has a rationalist atheist form as well as an explicitly religious one. It still relies on everything that exists being designed to serve rich white men. It's just that that's been done by 'nature' rather than by the Christian god.

It’s counterintuitive when you say this is an era of more deep and calculated illiberal repression and forceful backsliding than it was under the Tories, but it is: the Sensibles will “end the culture war” alright, by unifying with the right and far right to stamp upon the troublesome and different.

You don't need the far right in power to have far-right politics in practice Both need to be resisted equally

Thank you for the stern scolding but it’s actually possible to both enjoy two malignant rich fucks viciously falling out and understand it doesn’t fix every problem immediately.

I wish journalists would be more direct - if someone says they want to leave the ECHR, they should be asked exactly which human rights they want to remove. Same with removing EDI - who exactly do you want to remove protections from? Make them accountable for their bigotry.
