Highly recommend volunteering for this to any interested parties. I've been going for five hours straight and have barely answered a tenth of the questions that have come in. It's a lot of fun, if totally dizzying.

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

For my 250th, I'm taking a closer look at an antique scrapbook I bought last year filled with news clippings from ~1877-1889 celebrating a few anniversaries such as Boston's 250th in 1880! "Great crowds" sounds different in a 2026 context

For the 250th, I wrote up an @askhistorians.bsky.social Megathread sharing AMAs and posts with related history, plus a few thoughts on the contested memory/celebration of the Founding www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...
