Also, if you’re interested in the anecdote or want to use it in a classroom setting, I did a whole video on it:
How Romney’s Campaign Paved the Way for Trump
youtu.be/-TNp4eG-nFc
A moment I often think about is how when Romney, a Mormon, was eyeing a presidential run, his advisors organized a meeting with evangelical leaders in 2006. Jerry Falwell and Franklin Graham then grilled him on the Trinity & the Nicene Creed.
Just imagine Trump being grilled about the Nicene Creed.
This is such an engaging theme -- I have so many ideas! Please consider submitting your proposal: s-usih.org/2026/02/s-us...

I loved the new movie on Ann Lee so much that I invited my friend and Shaker historian, Jennifer Dorsey, to join me in discussing its relationship to history. Feel free to share with others interested in the musical Ann Lee saga. youtu.be/fEutlCiNabw

Three historical images in a horizontal collage separated by thin burgundy lines. Left and right panels show eighteenth century soldiers in uniform with muskets. The center panel shows the words “We the People” on parchment.

While there’s plenty of bloviating & lying about the country tonight, let’s celebrate one of the unequivocal goods right now:
The new mint chocolate sundae at Costco, one of the few institutions that has retained DEI and opposed Trump’s policies, that is absolutely delicious.
There’s a gofundme to help pay for funeral and headstone costs, keeping her blog alive and functional, and to support the Ardis E. Parshall Award at the Mormon History Association. Consider donating?

It’s officially pub day for this incredible work! Thank you to Oscar de la Torre for making this possible!!
And thank you to CUNY DSI for research consults and permission to use your images in my work!!

The Mormon history world lost one of our absolute best recently. Ardis Parshall was a dogged researcher--one of the best the LDS tradition ever produced--and a fiercely loyal friend. She influenced so much, and her legacy should prompt us to be even better. www.sltrib.com/religion/202...

I understand the reservation, but I think it’s fair usage given some of them claimed the title for themselves. It was a way to reappropriate their place within the movement.

USA’s offense is stalled, momentum is Canada’s, and things look bleak. Which means there’s only one option:
The Flying V.
So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
