A big part of being a historian is being a detective! Who did this? Why? Where? Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? You have to learn how to probe, how to uncover, how to read against the grain, how to find unusual sources, how to interpret those sources. How to piece together a puzzle
It also robs students of learning *how* to research.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

I’m starting to suspect that our ability to catch spree killers who leave the scene is extremely dependent on a functioning FBI…which we 100% do not have right now.

at Trader Joe's in Providence ~45min ago, chatting with cashier about the crazy traffic due to all the events downtown tonight. a couple at the register next to mine turned to me to say the traffic was maybe due to the active shooter at Brown Univ, per a text they'd just got from their student son.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.
This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

Let the American public see the video and decide for themselves.
There is no need to keep it secret. The president himself said yesterday he'd release it.
There is absolutely no reason America should take the word of a psychopath like Tom Cotton.

Q: What did you see in the second strike?
