Michael Winship, more recently. There's an older book from the 70s that I can't recall the title to, but was the first place I read a detailed account of the trial....

They will not be the last either.

You heard that right. ICE & CBP are out of controlβexiling the very men who fought for our freedom and risked their lives for our country.
Exactly. This is the way to watch.
The murdererβs name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...
So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didnβt air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTubeβand it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...
Agreed, Titanic. Or Skyfall.
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
look, I'm no fan of the Bourbons, or of monarchy in general for that matter -- but to invoke them to characterize Trump is I think deeply unfair to Versailles and the French absolutist monarchy
Heroβs of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Oooh. I need to sign up for that.
And already had an AI submission--for a 3-page, ungraded diagnostic exercise designed so I could help them see how I grade. Literally worth no points. And the hallucinate citations were obvious, so it got my "I'd give it an F" response. Was he testing to see if I could catch him? Probably.
Assigning prompts tied to readings that require use of quotations as supporting evidence. AI can't do that with new books, unless students can source the text.
Ready to read!!
