Very cool seeing the 2nd edition of the American Yawp at @politicsprose.bsky.social. Proud to work with so many very smart scholars and our great parters @stanfordpress.bsky.social to make this happen.
Everyone needs to read this necessary piece by Ben Wright. I think most of us working in red states get “blue-state-splained” on the regular. Wright says this is more than condescension. It “fractures communities that require solidarity.” Exodus is not the answer.
Well, let's give it a shot again and see what we get.
Hello #OAH2026! Interested in the second edition of The American Yawp? We have advance copies available at our booth along with some lovingly designed buttons. Supplies are limited, so stop by before they disappear

Stopped by the launch for the new American Yawp at #OAH2026.
It releases in early summer, but the old version will remain available to not mess up classes in progress.
Thanks @ben-wright.bsky.social @josephllocke.bsky.social
Also it was great to finally meet @theotherrbg.bsky.social in person! 🗃️
I am inspired by many of my colleagues fighting the good fight here in Texas, but wrote this for the rest of y'all: www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
Do not let the White House convince you that they are dictating what happens for the 250th. They're doing a bunch of stuff, but it's all fleeting spectacle. There is genuine, thoughtful, history-focused programming happening all over the United States. Get offline and go find it.
