I believe electing Trump produced nontrivial differences in outcomes compared to not electing him. I think it is bad that he is president. I am aware other bad things have occurred. The existence of previous bad things does not mean things have not gotten worse. It was better when it was better.

My USHist students read a doc from the 1920s KKK today, and one of the students looked up the author, informing us "He lived to see the Civil Rights Act pass, so I love that for him." Heh.

I'm teaching a seminar on 2SLGBTQIA+ histories of North America this summer (a pedagogical #Pride season project) and I thought I'd share a bit about the course here, focusing on the readings as we move through them each week. #queerhist #cdnhist #ushist

Text Shot: On November 5 we will find out just how strong we are. We will each choose on which side of the historical ledger to record our names. On the one hand, we can stand with those throughout our history who maintained that some people were better than others and had the right to rule; on the other, we can list our names on the side of those from our past who defended democracy and, by doing so, guarantee that American democracy reaches into the future.

#20: I taught USHist & explored diff btx 1st&2nd drafts; color-coded the drafts (remained,deleted,added) Students learned how TJ resolved the cultural cognitive dissonance: natural rights vs slavery. Its the most woke lesson taught & established the historical thread of selective human rights in US.

For Hanukkah: Believed to be the first-ever Jewish sermon published in the American colonies. Raphael Hayyim Isaac Carregall, a rabbi visiting from Hebron, delivered the sermon on May 28, 1773, at the Touro synagogue in Newport, RI, the oldest synagogue in the US.

Do you remember who was leading the Kimmelites after the fall of Andoria?

I watched a timely, if now bittersweet political movie this evening: "All the Way" (HBO Films, 2016). It stars Bryan Cranston as Lyndon B. Johnson during his eventful first year in office, which saw passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I highly recommend it.
