So Chevron is dead. Agencies must take regulation violators to trial. EPA can't regulate air or water. PFAS are everywhere. States are granting immunity to pollutors. Global warming is slamming us. As a historian of environmental regulations, I find this all rather dismal. 😟

If you've studied the anticommunists of the 1930s to the 1960s, the contours of the CRT freakout are clear. Then as now, it is a political tactic, not a truth claim. As a tactic, it serves as an intoxicating, heady brew that invigorates believers.

Food occupies two of the three examples here. I think this is an important lesson in US history. Food used to cost 33 to 40% of household budgets, only changing in the mid-70s to mid-80s to around 12% or so. What drove it down? Sprawling monopolies squeezing labor and farms.

Missed this brilliant work by @jan_dutkiewicz and @gnrosenberg . It cannot be stressed how important their analysis is: despite the talk you hear, grass-fed beef is not the answer to climate change. They show the horrible toll of grass-fed cattle.

This is why historians need a class of supervised archives research. These kinds of tricks and time savers are so important to pass along.

As a historian who covers the meat industry, these past two weeks of reporting about child labor have kind of broken me. A non-citizen, non-adult workforce is infinitly exploitable. Meat processors know this.

The Republican governor has signed a law that eliminates requirements for Arkansas to verify the age of children younger than 16 before they can take a job.

@kaokaliayang I'm sorry for your loss. As an undergrad I was fortunate to take a class from a professor who had worked as a translator for Hmong Americans and who explained how crucial that cultural work actually was. I am glad you it was provided for you.

Ah yes, the liberals of 1946 to 1950, famous for the ability to get *anything* out of Congress that wasn't anticommunist. The Marshall Plan came from the most reactionary Congress since 1928 and subsidized US commodity markets (like FL orange juice). At least the history right.

The problem with liberals today calling MAGA "fascism" is that the mid 20th century liberals responded to fascism by rebuilding entire societies, with the New Deal and Marshall Plan. Today's liberals have no plan or vision for anything. They are entirely complacent.

Aaron Sorkin is like that student who thinks he's listening but never does. Sure his essay are entertaining but they are wrong and simplistic. Instead of the grade he earned, you're forced to give him an A to keep his dad funding your department. He then thinks he's an A student.

Sadly, for the people Tom Cotton represents, shouting Chinese Communist Party at an Asian man is good politics. That Shou Zi Chew is Singaporean, and defends himself this way, is also part of the joy they feel. It is pure anti-Asian bigotry that his voters will reward.

Tom Cotton: "Have you ever been a member of the Chinese Communist Party?" TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew: "Senator, I'm Singaporean. No!" Cotton: "Have you ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party?" Chew: "No, Senator. Again, I'm Singaporean!"

Yup. My main field, one that both fills classes and might be the most popular history phd speciality, is not hiring. Yet, there is no money for to hire us.

@jonathanchait I'm thinking you have not read enough work by historians if you think we have romantic or unrealistic ideas about lawmaking. I literally write about the mystery-shrouded plane ride that dislodged the Wholesome Meat Act of 1967 from its Senate logjam. Doesn't scan.

@StuPolitics He said "a professor," not, "my rank IS full professor." So, no, you are absolutely wrong, he should continue saying what he did. Also, don't pick on people, especially when your account is so much larger. Finally, state schools rock!

New idea to make sure my book explains: the triumph of conservative housewife as a political identity that crowded out in the 1970s the housewife's previous New Deal and labor orientation.

@MayorKeller @cabq @ABQCityCouncil I study the history of cattle, disease, and regulations. Doing this is dangerous. All sorts of bacteria get into milk from the cow and from production methods, all of which makes this unsafe. I recommend Pure and Modern Milk by Kendra Smith-Howard:

Sorry for putting this on your tl, unfollow as needed but I think this is a huge part of it: are Idaho Nazis a distraction or a task threat? My past tells me yes. Between gaming, punk, and the Army, I've spent most of my non-academic life exposed to people who like Hitler.

I often muse in class that we are living in a dark age since few if any of the records we are producing will survive for long, but another way we are creating a dark age is the collapse of the scholars who would study it historically.
