@GothamFC Four straight one touches

Rose Lavelle! Her 25th Career International Goal! 🌹

Even better: the US Army remade the laws of war for the modern world in reaction to the Confederacy's white supremacist decision to execute Black soldiers rather than treat them as prisoners of war. Seriously. That was the reason.

@stschrader1 @ucpress Yes. This is an excellent and important book.

I have a new review of the excellent and horrifying book Bluecoated Terror: Jim Crow New Orleans and the Roots of Modern Police Brutality by Jeffrey S. Adler (published by @ucpress), out today in Journal of Social History.

THIS IS AWESOME! John Legend, who is a native of Springfield, Ohio asks his neighbors to love their Haitian neighbors: “They are hardworking, they're ambitious, they commit less crime than native born Americans.” He also argues it’s the Christian thing to do: “How about we love one another? I grew up in the Christian tradition. We said to love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.” What a powerful message. Thank you John! 💙

@fopminui @Morbidful folks should check out: amazon.com/Falling-Amazin…

Heartbreaking testimony given by Krystal Surles in court after she survived having her throat slit by twisted serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells. Her friend, 13-year-old Katy Harris, was sexually assaulted, stabbed sixteen times and had her throat slashed by Sells after he broke into her trailer. While Sells was convicted of only one murder, for which he received the death penalty and was eventually executed, authorities believe that he was responsible for a total of 22 murders. Sells himself claimed on multiple occasions to have committed over 70 murders.

@PoliticsProse @AprilDRyan @Lwesleywilson Perhaps the intern for Politics and Prose should know what a novel is?

Wednesday, join @Lwesleywilson to discuss WHAT DO YOU NEED? - a novel that uncovers the skills that women of color need to know to reach leadership positions - with @AprilDRyan - 7PM @ Conn Ave - bit.ly/4awlFaI

@uvapress @CWHJournal Someone at the Press is doing good work!

New, glowing reviews of "THE CACOPHONY OF POLITICS: Northern Democrats and the American Civil War" by @May201856 "Sparkles in its depiction of the nineteenth-century North as 'a world thick with politics' and its expansive view of who and what was political."-@CWHJournal

Congratulations to friend and educator @BroomallJames for this well deserved nomination!

@BrooksDSimpson @keithhernandez @PhilSimmsQB @RealJoeNamath Some great choices. But Phil simms? Tucker Frederick son? Fran T? Lawrence Taylor?

I had a great time doing this podcasr

@MarvinDunn4 This guy is not “renown”

This man is a quack who has never treated a Covid patient. DeSantis appointed him and put him in charge of our health. ‘Terrible Idea’: Renown Doctor Obliterates COVID Vaccine msn.com/en-us/health/m…

@sethrockman this is a superb book.

Had a chance to revisit this book yesterday zooming with a high school class in Baltimore. Grateful that the book is still getting assigned and read, and that it seems to hold up pretty well! Thanks, Calvin for the kind words.

@jwatkins_30 @JonRothstein J.W. was my first thought JR: you should do better

@JonRothstein I averaged 13.3 assists per 40, so shouldn’t be too difficult

Well embedded moles in Chapel Hill firmly believe that Elliott Cadeau will be the best passing point guard that North Carolina has had since Kendall Marshall. Tar Heels didn't have a single player average more than 3.2 APG last season.

"Heartsick and Astonished: Divorce in Civil War-Era West Virginia" by Allison Dorothy Fredette "will appeal widely to Civil War era historians interested in the conflict’s impact on marriages," writes Jonathan Noyalas. Read more here: tinyurl.com/yhw2y5cx #CivilWar #BookReview

@EllstonLogan Well, Rose already had two yellows and Horan was sitting on one. Does that help?

@JoeBran29157221 @POTUS @USWNT @mPinoe jeez these morons are tiresome

Megan and the entire @USWNT, the People's House is cheering you on. You've got this.

An excellent companion to Anne Berest's The Postcard

Enjoying listening to Martha Hodes' My Hijacking.
