Remember: “there is something that learning is for, that thinking is for, that work is for, and that you are for, the discovery of which belongs to you.”
As we observe the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, this is your yearly reminder to be clear in teaching the kids who established it, and why. #tellthemwhatwedid

They can't take what they didn't give.
There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.
Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

“The researchers aim to show that the ‘inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!
“What fascisms old and new have in common is they tend to look to women to fill in the gaps that the state misses."
And, I'd add, they get women to fill these gaps by making patriarchy's coattails the only way means by which women can achieve security or esteem.

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.
No Kings Protest, Zanesville, OH.
We fought one war to get rid of a king and tyranny. And another to defeat Fascism.
Commentary: In August 2023, Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected lawmakers' blatant attempt to undermine our citizen-initiative process. Instead of listening, politicians are now aiming to shut down grassroots campaigns before they ever reach the ballot. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/11/o...

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.
Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding.

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.
Pass it on.

I used it last Spring as well, and I rarely repeat a book. Students seeing the movements grow organically and then thrive or not is such an essential part of its value. And understanding the roles played by youth and gender.
I am using this book for my Twentieth Century Europe class again this semester. And as I am prepping it and my assignments, its breadth and depth of primary sources documents showing how fascism grew in many different European countries is amazing. Thanks to all the chapter authors!
As your thread amply proved, research he did not. Love the maps. Master class in patient explanation. 👏🏼
