I want to build materials that will help teach factual history to the younger generation without traumatizing them with the gory details. I believe it is crucial that young people are not taught a white washed or rose colored version of history, and I will find a way to do that. 7/7

My goal now is not to obtain teaching credentials but to write. My goal is to provide tools to young people who are curious about history. 6/7

I have always been fascinated with the "whys" of social interactions, both intimately and more broadly. A dual course of study in history and sociology provides me with the tools to not only understand the "whys" but to teach them as well. 5/7

Unfortunately, it looks like transfer is not going to be feasible because of cost. So now I am reconfiguring my path thusly: Sociology is a subject that I was born to study and have been, concurrently with history. 4/7

The purpose was to teach middle school history, specifically US history with a side of government, the outcome of which would provide students with not only a technical timeline but an understanding of why events went down the way they did.The "whys" are the most important, after all. 3/7

About a year ago I decided that my goal was to obtain an AA degree in History, then transfer to a university for further study and teaching credentials. 2/7

California history is ugly and brutal. Sure, there may be a happy story or two, but those are mostly found in the aftermath. The true story of California is one of land theft, and that continues to this day. 1/7

😂 the ba dum tsss got me, sorry. You are 💯 correct!!!!

"History is not on your side!"

This is real life.

Most importantly: always remember that YOUR perspective can not possibly encompass the experiences of every individual. 5/5

It's called "education."

And no, I don't mean public or even private school. I mean community education. Talk to people about their experiences and really listen. That listening part is the most important. Ask questions, explore ideas you previously thought were bs. 4/5

This disgusting display of power echoes throughout history. Immigrants have always been the scapegoat and in hindsight the data fail to support the action. READ THAT PART AGAIN. The data. fail. to. support. the. action. So why do we keep making the same "mistakes"? It's real easy, wanna know? 3/5

There are hundreds of individuals who are in El Salvador who should not be there. The administration has been told, by a judge, that what they did was wrong. The administration was told to bring the planes back. Remember Bukele' reaction? Yeah...he reposted with a laughing emoji, saying "oops" 2/5

Chris Van Hollen risked his life traveling to El Salvador to find out what he could about one of his constituents. ONE. An immigrant who had been in the US for 19 years. He may not have even voted for Van Hollen, but that's not what matters here, and Van Hollen knows this. 1/5

Note that all 5 original plaintiffs in the Boasberg case denies that he is even a member of Tren de Aragua--meaning it's possible that there is a multiple Arbego-Garcia problem.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

—Gov. JB Pritzker

Good show. Long show. New TNL is up.

Nice!!!

I thought I hit my rage limit for the day. Apparently, I was wrong. 🤬

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

As this Opinion will detail, the Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt. The Court does not reach such conclusion lightly or hastily; indeed, it has given Defendants ample opportunity to rectify or explain their actions. None of their responses has been satisfactory

🚨Here is Judge Boasberg's opinion finding that he has probable cause that the government in CRIMINAL contempt for defying his orders on March 15: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I genuinely loathe Vance more than the Orange Man. He is the worst of Trump with a heaping extra side of slime. He is so smarmy that it brings shame upon the term.

oh ok give me a moment while I look for my shocked face 🙄 oh wait that’s not it 🤮dang where is it 😵‍💫oh wait here it is 😱

This is what it means to work for the people.

"An elected Democrat ought to be on the ground in El Salvador every minute of every day...." THIS PART @jvl.bsky.social 👏👏👏

Hey cool people.....26,000 of you!??! How rad is it to know that our little speck nearly matched LA's attendance of 36,000?!?!! Trump country, my butt! We can do this! ✌️

Thank you. I just watched the live stream on Bernie's YouTube :)

I wish I did not have crippling anxiety and gut issues. Bernie and AOC are making a stop at our tiny speck on the map: the campus of Folsom Lake Community College. I hope it is a safe and life-changing event for all. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social ✌️❤️
