Yeah

Surely the French won’t be sporting that tricolor flag that celebrates their own revolution…that would be political

Am so going to unpack this with my world history students!
And now I want to look up the symbols all other countries’ teams wear to see what’s deemed “non-political” for other counties… (hopefully someone else is already on the comparative angle)

Great insights here

Great book

Well worth supporting.

Support Minneapolis Daycare Workers Contribute mutual aid to the educators and caregivers who love and care for our children everyday

One small thing you can do *right now* — donate $5, $10, $50, whatever you're able — to this rent fund for South Minneapolis daycare workers whose families are sheltering in place. Can we raise $5k today??

Whatever you can give matters. And if you can't give, can you share?

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours.

please keep sharing with your networks.

If you need inspiration to keep going right now, may I recommend the story of Robert Smalls, who stole a confederate steamboat and piloted his family and almost 20 others to freedom and went on to become one of the first Black people elected to Congress ✊🏽

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

We've published deeply on Cuba, Venezuela, and US policy toward Latin America, and as these issues return to the headlines, history matters more than ever. Authors: if you’ve written on this topic, drop your book title + link below and let's build a thread that helps make sense of this moment.

Ah, the world! Oh, the world!

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

It would be pretty cool if we all collectively pledged to support indie bookshops whenever/however we could 💕

Depending on budget & accessibility, that could look like visiting them in person, leaving a review, amplifying their social posts, giving gift cards, divesting from mega retailers, etc.

Text with Jesus offers users an interactive experience with a religious deity. Users can text questions to Jesus and get a response. (Premium users can also converse with Satan.)

My kid’s college radio show always makes me so happy as a parent and as a college radio vet…tonight, just heard a few seconds of dead air followed by “sorry about that gap, I was thinking about math” and I wish my mathematician dad were still around for that moment.
(So much bad, this was good)

Just ran the Reacting to the Past French Rev game in my intro world history classes and those students are making some uh strong connections to current events let us say. #rttp

It’s so sickening. Going to go try to focus on all the regular folks who are actually working for a better world despite not being in positions of formal power.

Yup
