I respect Tom Carper, and it may be that my anger and indignation are clouding my judgment. But you know, you don't turn the page until you finish a chapter, and for that some appropriate action--the 25th amendment, impeachment and removal, censure by Congress--is needed.

I just asked Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) about this: “The idea of taking the time to try to impeach him, the idea of trying to expel members of the House of Senate for their efforts to protect the President and continue this fiction ... I just think we need to turn the page."



Thanks 2 @BeaconPressBks 4 promoting and 4 Robin DG Kelley, a hero & genius. Get a hardback b4 it's a collector's item worth hundreds of dollars. That's the flip side of commercial failure! 😅 The paperback drops Jan 26. @ASALH @AAIHS @JAfricanaRelig @SapeloSquare @bmuslimculture

UNLV's own @ProfTDParry! I was just telling my students about the British isles origins of jumping the broom as we discussed African American cultural formations on Monday. Must be something in the air. So glad to see this is out! We'll have to have a talk at UNR.

Today is the OFFICIAL publication of my book, "Jumping the Broom: The Surprising Multicultural Origins of a Black Wedding Ritual." I am humbled & overwhelmed. Much love to these orgs: @uncpressblog @BlkPerspectives @AAIHS @JourSouHist & @AmericanStJourn amazon.com/Jumping-Broom-…
