Do it, Kevin! You won’t regret it.
I’ve written all my work on it since 2009 including both books.
Legal scholars: does anyone know of good research on what the Founders thought about the pardon power? I'm trying to figure out it was intended to be as unlimited as the plain text suggests it is
Cool to see JSTOR Daily do a story taken from my first journal article on pre-revolutionary New York City that was published in 2017. daily.jstor.org/when-profit-...
It’s officially pub day for this incredible work! Thank you to Oscar de la Torre for making this possible!!
And thank you to CUNY DSI for research consults and permission to use your images in my work!!

Sociogram showing early national Americans who corresponded about historical writing, research, and publication.
My book, Past and Prologue, has a chapter that covers networking in the revolutionary era over issues related to historical writing, research, and publication. It’s also available as a conference paper on my website. mdhattem.com/wp-content/u... and includes this sociogram.
Is there anything funnier than Richarlison being mad or frustrated?
Looking forward to doing a talk tomorrow at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul. Minnesota Monthly included the talk in its “Best Bets” of the week for things to do along with an Eagles tribute band. The event is hybrid so you can register to watch it remotely. www.mnhs.org/events/38217...
Today's release of the Canal Dreamers audio book made me realize that I should pin a thread with links related to the book. Starting with the @uncpress.bsky.social website:

Exactly. But even more simplistic and generalized than Himmelfarb.
He’s smartly doing the kind of things Cory Booker did when he was mayor of Newark. Helping shovel people’s cars after snow, this kind of thing, etc… just being accessible to residents and visibly helping out (but without all the corporate favoritism behind the scenes).
Had a great time speaking at the North Carolina History Center last night and looking forward to doing another talk there in a few weeks.
Somebody’s stealing all the stuff they stole!! Unconscionable!! 😉
Excellent! I’ve gotten a really good feedback from people using parts 2 and 6 in undergrad courses.
Interesting! Balkin and Rana’s recent books might be useful.
I may have to print this out and frame it!
US District Judge Fred Biery cites several grievances from the #DeclarationofIndependence in an order releasing Adrian Conejo Arias and his five year old son, Liam, who were seized by ICE in Minneapolis, and tells the Trump administration that "'We the people' are hearing echos of that history."
Looking forward to doing a short remote talk and then some conversation hosted by the American Antiquarian Society tonight at 7pm. Registration link below.

You look appropriately concerned. 😀
We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
Hi all,
I rarely do this, but I'm posting that I'm back on the academic job market.
As a Californian, my partner and I are trying to stay on the West Coast. Any leads for jobs in History, American Studies, Cultural Studies, etc. in the Western U.S. are greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Nathan
Ivano Dal Prete was awarded the 2023 ACHA Marraro prize for distinguished book in Italian history or history of Italo-American relations. If you're interested in the history of (mythmaking about) deep time, this is the book!

Should be 5-1 right now
Only a few hours after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Minneapolis resident and mother Renee Good on January 7, federal immigration enforcement agents descended onto Roosevelt High School property during school dismissal as students were exiting the building. MFE members say that ICE agents tackled and detained a school staff member and union member who was working at the time. The MFE member was since released, according to a union spokesperson. The agents also deployed a chemical irritant against students and staff on school grounds, MFE says. A school official, speaking to MPR News on condition of anonymity, said many students sheltered in a nearby library.
Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*.

Can’t remember the last time I saw a team win on pens 3-0.
Worst half of the season and still didn’t concede. Sucks but we’re six points clear.
If only we had some sort of historical precedent that could help us understand what might happen when a constellation of highly militarized far right governments, organized around an angry and resentful, blood and soil version of nationalism, emerges and tries to remake the world in their image.
Friends, I hope you’ll share this widely. The @jcblibrary.bsky.social is hiring 2 3-yr research associates for collaborative work on religions and freedoms in the early Americas. Info is here and I’m happy to take questions offline: brown.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/staff-...
