“In lieu of a traditional U.S History exam, I had students complete ZEP’s ‘How We Remember.’ I was blown away by how the history is handled at many of the highlighted locations, and @clintsmithiii.bsky.social’s extreme attention to detail.” — Allyson Saladino, HS history teacher, NJ Learn more: ⬇️

>Source: I literally live there. Condolences My own thought is that reintegrating northern provinces with the Republic will resemble the sort of difficulties Germany had with absorbing East Germany - with more explosives in play.

(1/X) I more certain of the following than I am that the sun will tomorrow: (a) Trump will leave the US (and GOP) in shambles. (b) Neither Trump nor anyone who facilitated him will pay price. (c) Ppl who accurately predicted how bad Trump2 would be will continue to be portrayed as hysterical...

Wonder if Ken Howard (nee:Popehat. nee: a dozen other nees) has seen this, she's in his geographic backyard. Needs some work on public speaking technique but looks to have a real public policy future. Be great if we could find a lure that would get the 'hat' back on BS.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

📌So, MSM, are you even living in the same country we are??? How is it the most serious homegrown attack on America since the Civil War STILL isn’t grabbing every headline, every day??? Because here’s the thing, you self-important clowns, if this attack continues apace, we are done. DO YOUR JOBS.

Monitored some Zinn lectures at BU as a 20 yr old - no idea what I was witnessing at the time.

It’s pretty clear that’s not what happened at all and this is like the 3rd different outlet I’ve seen saying as much

"Pull a standard U.S. history textbook off the shelf and you’re unlikely to find more than a paragraph on the 1919 riots; what you do find downplays both racism and Black resistance, while distorting facts in a dangerous 'both sides' framing." Read more ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/if-we-knew-o...

What a wingman to have

I learned this from growing up in Los Angeles around older folks who were around when it happened & still talked about it. But it’s also a subplot in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and people are shocked when I tell them that part of the movie is a true story.

Colin is right: We must exercise our power to change the course of history. For his lifetime achievements advocating for racial justice and empowering youth, we are proud to recognize Colin Kaepernick with our new Ralph Ellison Award for Defenders of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

"We are living through a very dangerous time. . . The paradox of education is precisely this — that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated." — James Baldwin (born #tdih 1924) "A Talk to Teachers" ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ja...

Bernie Sanders: "People are sick and tired of the Democratic establishment and the Republican establishment ... the American people are tired of a rigged economy, a corrupt campaign finance system.

The vast majority of our outlets are owned by right-wing billionaires and last night our most prominent political reporters spent an hour chuckling along with a clearly senile Republican president as he insulted them incoherently. Here's why our media has a liberal bias problem.
