The fact that Kristi Noem was removed and Pete Hegseth was not should tell white women everything they need to know about their relationship to power.
It won’t, but it should.
61 years ago today, a group of 600 peaceful protestors began a 54-mile march from Selma to the steps of the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery— in response to the police murder of 26-year-old Army veteran Jimmie Lee Jackson during an attempted march in Marion, AL two weeks prior.
I agree. AP needs to be broken up into two distinct courses (at minimum). Actually three would be better (Exploration to 1800, 19th century up to WW1. The WW2 to present). It would make teaching it so much easier.
Pull up and start your searching. Propublica set up a database just for us to follow the money
Ah, the ruler lady. Visiting her office with manuscript in hand was more stressful than defense!
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Learned that lesson after getting hospitalized for dysentery in the middle of finals week. Didn’t want to take an inc, but when you faint every time you stand up, taking an Inc isn’t so bad after all!
Struggling with this. I’m in higher ed now and AI is everywhere. College is pushing it and I’m supposed to show students how to use it, but I’m still figuring it out myself. I’d go back to blue books but time is already tight as we just moved from 16 wk term to 8 weeks. 😕
Damn.

Didn’t we raise a fuss when Michael Fay was caned in 1994 for vandalism in Singapore? And now the US is blowing up fishing boats that allegedly carried drugs? At least Fay had a trial and was sentenced according to Singapore law—unlike the folks we are killing w/o trial.
Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $
the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
Spot on.
Consider going into teacher ed. It keeps you in the loop with teachers on the classroom via placements for student teachers and you get to help new teachers learn their profession. That said, it’s not a perfect solution.
1300 was difficult but I managed to follow along. 1200 I figured out a word or two but lost the plot.Enjoyed the challenge!

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱
Occasionally reminded that Georgia added a “post tenure review” process bc they were so certain that professors became deadweight once they had job security, and all the outcomes have proven JUST THE OPPOSITE! People work harder and in more complex ways when they feel secure in their employment.
Hmmm. Imagine that. History is important to understanding our world. Who knew?!
Today is the anniversary of the despicable Order 9066. I share this video from George Takei when discussing about his experiences in the camps - youtu.be/LeBKBFAPwNc .
You can also watch the interview the co-authors and I shared on the creation of this powerful memoir here -

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”
words projected on the front of the USIP building that say “Trump destroyed this Institution, imposing his name on the building, a narcissistic attempt to associate himself with peacemaking.”
New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.”
Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.
Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
