No Wonder the Right Suppresses Lessons on the Constitution Educator and activist Jesse Hagopian writes that teaching truth doesn’t harm kids — it prepares them to fight for justice.

Who fears critical thinking?

In my new @wordinblacknews.bsky.social article, I show how the @zinnedproject.bsky.social’s “Teach Truth on Constitution Day” campaign teaches which rights it doesn’t protect—& how the rights we have were won by struggle. ✊🏾

Congratulations to Brian Jones on his brilliant new book #BlackHistoryIsForEveryone

I was an honor to join Bettina Love and Brian to discuss the insights of his book!

As a vital resource for naming and historicizing this moment and strategizing our intervention, I'm thrilled to announce my new free interactive report:

School Times for End Times:
A Brief History of U.S. Christian Nationalist Activism and Public Education

Please help to spread the word!

Yesterday we lost Assata Shakur— a giant in the history of the Black freedom struggle and movements for socialism.

Standing in Oakland this summer at the Women of the Black Panther Party mural, I pointed to Assata Shakur’s words: “We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

Rest in power. ✊🏾🖤

I think one of the biggest mistakes we’ve made in academia over the last few years was treating tenure and academic freedom as a guaranteed right and not a labor relation. Had more understood it as the latter perhaps we would have been better prepared to protect it

Trump Wants to Bury Slavery. My Family Went South to Unearth It. Trump wants a populace unaware of the Black freedom struggle — because it is a guide for defeating his fascist plans.

My new essay for @truthout.org:

Trump wants slavery buried — without even a headstone to mark that it existed.

My family went South this summer to unearth this history & learn how to resist fascism. #TeachTruth

Flotilla Sailing to Gaza Attacked, With Footage Showing Large Explosion The group said the boat is a main one in the fleet, and was carrying Greta Thunberg at one point prior to the strike.

A Gaza aid flotilla’s main boat was hit by an explosive while docked in Tunisia; organizers claim it was a drone attack, but authorities blame an onboard accident. Greta Thunberg had been on the boat earlier—all crew are safe.

It’ll be so great to see you!! Much appreciated!
