Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

2 tours in Afghanistan. 46-years-old. Dies of gallstone pancreatitis because the ICUs were full in TX. Your freedom to choose NOT to vaccinate isn’t free. It cost this veteran his life.

This should NOT HAPPEN IN 2023. The maternal mortality rate in the South is horrendous. For Black women in the South, it is CRIMINAL. I can’t imagine her terror & suffering. We don’t care about women in this country. @MomsFirstUS #TorieBowie

If Reverend Raphael Warnock wins his race in Georgia tonight, he will be the FIRST African-American Democratic Senator elected from the South... EVER.

When I was writing The Long Southern Strategy, this sentence took!weeks to write (and get right): “Poor white southerners have long been conditioned to forfeit a personal battle in the service of winning an imagined war from which they do not benefit.”

The Confederacy was a con job on whites. And still is.

I’ve lived 55 years in the South, and I grew up liking the Confederate flag. I haven’t flown one for many decades, but for a reason that might surprise you.

Today, I had the opportunity of a lifetime. I sat across from @HillaryClinton & asked her ?s about her 18 years in Arkansas. She talked about it all, particularly the struggles that women & mothers face. There is no denying the good she did in this state. #ImWithHer @PryorCenter

Over 11,000 in AR got 1st shot today. That’s high for us. Keep reaching out to people. Meet them where they are. Don’t come at me w/ the rage. I’m enraged. But I live here & see the misinformation & the politicians who yell about freedom while quietly getting their shots. #Covid

(1/5) In a speech to the NAACP, the former head of the GOP, Ken Mehlman, apologized for his party’s Southern Strategy. That was 14 years ago. Bob Herbert called it an empty apology @nytimes because it is still going on. @KevinMKruse @ava @HC_Richardson

@davidwblight1 I can think only of Lincoln's Cooper Union speech. Describing pro-slavery southerners, he asked: "...what will satisfy them?" His answer: "This, and this only: cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right." (i.e. nothing will satisfy them except total surrender)

Just a reminder of Phyllis Schlafly’s last presidential endorsement. She died before the election. Trump gave the eulogy at her funeral. @MrsAm_FXonHulu #MrsAmerica #MrsAHistory #twitterstorians #MrsPoliSci

While #CandaceOwens testifies again denying the impact of white supremacy (sigh), here’s my thread about her testimony last April denying the Southern Strategy (double sigh). For more, see: @KevinMKruse

(1/7) Since @DineshDSouza refuses to do"takebacks" (despite getting schooled daily by @KevinMKruse & his fellow #twitterhistorians ) & since I still can’t believe that @CandaceOwen denied the GOP’s Southern Strategy, I’m reposting this short thread of evidence to the contrary.

I appreciate the conservative organizations speaking out against the Governor’s proposal to weaken #FOIA . It isn’t easy to oppose the head of your own party. Protecting government transparency is worth it #ArkansasOverParty #arleg #arpx
