Today is the anniversary of the shelling of Ft. Sumter by the South Carolina militia, kicking off what would become the American Civil War.
If anyone tries to argue the Civil War was not about slavery, we need only point that misguided (misinformed, miseducated) individual to this statement from the Mississippi secession convention at the time:
"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery—the greatest material interest of the world."

Very early #OnThisDay, 12 Apr 1944, Odette Wilen parachutes into France to work as a wireless operator for the British Special Operations Executive. The SOE supports the French resistance.
Wireless operators were at the greatest risk of discovery, as their position could be triangulated whenever they were transmitting messages back to London.
Wilen evades capture by minutes and escapes over the Pyrenees. She lives until 2015.
#OnThisDay, 12 Apr 1229, regent Blanche of Castile oversees the signing of the Treaty of Paris on behalf of her son, King Louis IX. She had previously raised an army to defend his territories against Raymond VII of Toulouse.

We all know folks in the humanities who have lost grants this last week or two.
The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media shared grants terminated through their center. All of them so worthy, all of them so exciting, so innovative.
Crushing.
Read more here. Their work is so vital, and while it sounds like the center itself is ok, not a bad time to show support.

#OnThisDay, April 11, 1471, King Edward IV of England entered London unopposed, taking Henry VI prisoner and returning him to the Tower of London (depicted in The White Queen, “War at First Hand” 2013)
Second day going through hospital repair & renovation records. Interesting to see that, even 100 years ago, everything ended up costing more than expected. #histodons #history #Canadianhistory
U.S’ great authoritarian alignment
Apropos #Gannett decision it will stop publishing diversity information, citing Trump’s executive order… https://www.niemanlab.org/2025/04/gannett-will-stop-publishing-diversity-information-citing-trumps-executive-order
Propaganda and censorship were central tools used by the Nazi regime to shape public opinion and suppress dissenting voices.
#Gleichschaltung refers to a systematic process of coordination or alignment where a central authority exerts control over communication channels to create uniformity of messaging. The term originated in 1930s #Germany but applies analytically to various modern systems where multiple independent information channels become increasingly synchronized to produce homogeneous messaging.
Most German newspapers did not adopt #Nazi ideology voluntarily. Instead, the Nazis enforced control through censorship and propaganda. When #Hitler came to power in 1933, the Nazis controlled less than three percent of Germany’s newspapers, but they quickly established control over the press by eliminating opposition newspapers, seizing printing equipment, and implementing laws like the #Schriftleitergesetz (Editor’s Law) to ensure journalists aligned with Nazi ideology.
In the case of the U.S. it’s curious a quickly established media is capitulating to Trump’s whims. Executive orders are directives issued by the President that manage operations of the federal government and federal agencies. In Gannett's case, while they cited Trump's executive order as influencing their decision, private companies are likely making these changes voluntarily in response to the political climate or anticipated regulatory changes rather than being legally compelled to do so by the executive order itself.
