YouTube video by Road Less Marveled May 1, 1969: Fred Rogers testifies before the Senate Subcommittee on Communications

With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.

Trump's impeachments have been removed from a Smithsonian exhibit, for now The Smithsonian says a reference to President Trump's impeachments that was removed last month will be restored once the exhibit is updated.

A social media post screen shot. Facial Pain Association National Pain Advocacy Center RESPITE-TN Real-world Evidence Study with Patient Input to evaluate Treatment Effects in Trigeminal Neuralgia

One word got this grant killed for being “DEI.” This is the ONLY NIH funded study to look at how people with Trigeminal Neuralgia age because we take heavy duty drugs to manage the pain and the data hasn’t been collected and explored. TN affects more women than men. I despise what is happening.

Right????

I tried looking several months ago, but it was when archive.org was imploding. I’ve mostly been unsuccessful at finding the old stuff online.

Ding, Ding, Ding! Well done. Practice with cultural artifacts as prescriptive literature in general.

Brewing up something special for the first week of classes. Time for students to engage with some primary sources 🤣🗃️

From a voter in 📍 Ames, IA

If you ever find yourself in upstate NY, definitely go out of your way to visit the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. The teen, almost-tween, and adults all loved it!

For the record, per the founders themselves, activism in the name of founding principles IS patriotism. If they had thought otherwise, they would have been Loyalists.

“OK’s schools will not be a haven for woke agendas pushed in places like CA and NY," said Supt Ryan Walters. "If you want to teach here, you’d better know the Const, respect what makes America great, and understand basic biology. We’re raising a generation of patriots, not activists.” 🗃️🗺️🍎

I work in a dept without that many majors but my classes are always full. Humanities professors, in general, make pretty normal middle middle class salaries. So - prices aren't high, demand is high, the idea that there's a problem bc kids take those classes but major somewhere else is made up

There can be no republic if there’s no such thing as public good.

I will argue forever that secondary education teachers should have majors in their content areas, so maybe that’s what’s happening here? But why are so many of these programs education/teacher ed focused? Don’t we desperately need teachers? 🗃️🗺️🍎

I have deleted my other post.

It seems that the header about who could research at NARA was clumsily worded, and it’s already down. Craptacular world we live in that the obvious reading of it was worst case scenario and worst case scenario felt reasonable 🗃️ #academicsky

NARA College Park will close to the general public effective 7 JUL 2025.

“This building holds in trust the records of our national life and symbolizes our faith in the permanency of our national institutions.”

Here’s the link to my 2014 WSJ piece on Chinese archive access: www.wsj.com/articles/BL-...

Line graph titled "What's my share of NEH appropriations" with a caption: "Between its founding in 1965 and fiscal year 2024, the National Endowment for the Humanities received congressional appropriations totaling $7.37 billion. NEH used this funding to support thousands of individuals and cultural organizations - both directly through various grant programs and indirectly through funds disbursed by the 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils. Beyond these appropriations, grantees raised millions of dollars more from non-federal donors as part of grant matching requirements. To put NEH appropriations in perspective, this chart shows cumulative annual per capita contribution to NEH by age, that is, the total dollar amount the average taxpayer has given to NEH over their lifetime. A few relevant purchases are helpfully included to show what a person could have bought instead, had they kept their personal NEH contribution for themselves..." The x-axis ranges from 0 to 59 years old. The y-axis ranges from $0 to $30. At three ages, items that could have instead been purchased with an individual's lifetime NEH contribution are shown. At 13 years, an egg is plotted on the line with a dollar amount of $6.41 and the caption reads, "Just in time to feed a growth spurt, a person at 13 years old has contributed enough to NEH that they could instead purchase one dozen eggs ($6.23/dozen)." At 36 years, a popcorn bucket is plotted with a dollar amount of $18.20 and the caption reads, "Millennials who are at least 36 years old could exchange their nearly four decades worth of NEH support for a one month subscription to Netflix ($17.99/month)." At 50 years, a gasoline pump is plotted with the dollar amount of $26.00 and the caption reads, "Those 50 years old or older - who have been contributing to the agency for nearly its entire existence - could instead have saved that money to purchase about a half tank of gas (8 gallons at $3.23/gallon)."

As an elder millennial, I could trade my lifetime of tax contributions to the NEH for one month of Netflix and have just enough left over to get some avocado toast if I split it with two other people

Yes, although the court cases originated before the war escalated in 1965.

I hate when my historical research is relevant. The GI Rights Hotline has a history going back to before its 1994 founding by a network of peace activists after the Gulf War. GI counseling has been a cornerstone of peace activism since the Vietnam War. Some of the same ppl are still doing it. 🗃️

Probably preaching to the choir here but, some data from the 1960s.

Opinion | 13 students on what studying history taught them about the present Progress can be undone. There’s plenty we don’t know. But change is possible.

In case anyone’s wondering why reactionaries target history education, here’s an excellent example from students themselves. Once we acknowledge the complexity of the story, the narrative becomes harder to control 🍎🗺️ (gift article) wapo.st/3SIG5qa

It did indeed. Hoo-boy.

Wow. My senator, everyone.

Oh, look, I wrote this two months ago.
