Oh I'm so glad you saved it from being chopped up! I studied embroidered maps as an educational tool in my MA program! What a great find!!

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Couldn't agree with you more. She's so great and I cannot watch her show without my blood pressure rising to dangerous levels.

What a beautiful tribute to his work! He left flowers for you to not only appreciate but to plant anew in your work. The awesome power of historians

This is absolutely what will happen. Teachers already fear the perception of their choices in the classroom. In a time of sky high cost of living and attacks on education in general, self preservation will unfortunately win for many, especially if there is no support for risk taking within schools

If you need a reminder of what we're fighting for, here are a bunch of authors reading short excerpts of letters sent to them by grateful readers. Recommend having tissues handy.

The National Archives belong to We the People. These records are used by historians and other researchers, but also veterans, Native nations, genealogists, students, and so many more people.

While bombing Iran is bad for Trump’s poll numbers, starting a war and creating chaos is good for Trump as an authoritarian. Authoritarians exploit chaos to claim emergency powers, deploy the military domestically, and undermine free and fair elections.

These attacks must be viewed from this lens.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

I teach high school history and my co-teacher and I discussed if we are going to teach the constitution in the present or past tense in the fall.

all my friends and i talk about is getting rid of our phones our phones as the tiny gods we are trying not to worship

Want to feel seen? Read this amazing poem about our desire to let go of our glowing overlords, our phones: open.substack.com/pub/quirineb...

The entire goal of the Birmingham children's march was to fill the jails with arrested minors to show the police state nature of Jim Crow. People may post #goodtrouble but then miss the entire point of putting yourself on the line to stand up against tyranny

I had the exact same thought! Even with the little "gift" after the beating. It's what he knows: to be a predator and abuser.

I don't know, I might trust this silly billy kitty on national security concerns more than those in the situation room right now.

Good grief

Thank you for telling your story with such clarity and bravery. From a teacher to a student: I'm very proud of you as a future leader of this country.

As a teacher of seniors in high school the anxieties about going to college are so different now. Instead of being nervous of moving to a new place, they worry about being ostracized for wanting to learn at all. Thank you to the student that wrote this incredible piece.

I wish I could join you with a bracing cup of tea and 3-5 pastries from many bakeries! Don't forget the "5 mile treat" that can take the form of a cocktail, sweet, or melted cheese.

This is honestly my entire travel itinerary when I go anywhere. Wander, snack, notice the small things, and listen to the sounds around me.

All you gotta do is stand your butt up
