I have NO patience for people who claim that historians should be producing traditional scholarship and not addressing the public.

Historians should be engaging with EVERY public.

Talking about democracy.

Teaching about democracy.

Highlighting the gaslighting & correcting the whitewashing.

If ever there was a time for historians to step up & engage with the public for the sake of American democracy, it's NOW.

@jbf1755 Maybe you should do a podcast. You could team up with another prominent historian to make it easier. Let me know if you need help with a name; I’m good at thinking of these things every Now and Then.
