Surprised that The American Revolution isn’t preempted in #Florida. This is no longer the way American history is allowed to be taught in this state, including in its public universities. Congrats to PBS and Ken Burns for providing proper context. #AmericanRevolution

Update: I’ve teared up twice, I’ve had goosebumps the entire time, two of the historians giving testimonials are from my favorite books I used in grad school. 🥰

She’s lying, of course, but it is noteworthy that the feels like she has to lie and say these things. She’s a weathervane and this is a sign of the way the wind is blowing.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Yes. Trump and Greene are both odious but it is objectively good for them to fight, particularly over an issue that is extremely bad for Trump and which has zero downside for Democrats.
It is how the Framers envisioned checks and balances would work, "ambition must be made to counteract ambition."

Yes, helpful bias can exist in historical scholarship, especially when dealing with public memory, as Burns often does.
No, I’m not interested in having that debate with you on a microblogging social media platform designed for millennials that miss the original microblogging social media platform
