Educator and activist Jesse Hagopian writes that teaching truth doesnβt harm kids β it prepares them to fight for justice.
"When students critically examine who created the Constitution & what rights it does & does not guarantee, they donβt retreat into cynicism; they step forward as active participants in democracy . . ." -- @jessehagopian.bsky.social via @wordinblacknews.bsky.social

Blue graphic with white text that reads: Teaching for Change signed a letter to the D.C. Mayor condemning support of the federal invasion into D.C. We demand that political leaders stand with the people and against fascism. Our Demands to Mayor Bowser: D.C. leaders should not be praising federal intrusion that is terrorizing neighbors. Instead leaders should: 1. Denounce the takeover, 2. Insist on an end to the federal surge 3. Defend residents from abuse by ICE and police, 4. Enforce Sanctuary Values Act.
Teaching for Change joined many nonprofit and community partners to the D.C. Mayor condemning support of the federal invasion into D.C.

Do folks know that there are teams of people out in DC EVERY NIGHT until all hours to record what ICE. DHS, MPD etc are doing? I don't think those outside DC know that. They think people are passive or in support. Total lie. There's so much going on here. Hope other cities take tactical note.

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The presidentβs latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.
A timely conversation and evening, especially as the regime continued it's dismantling of the truth through another attack of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
