“When we see well-chosen elements of our past, speak with knowledgeable guides and when we see and feel the connectedness of our lives to a distant past, we can build social cohesion and a sense of self-esteem in our communities. At the same time, we can explore our past mistakes, our shortcomings…”

As a historian, you might appreciate this one somebody sent me from LA.

School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books - Index on Censorship A school librarian faced a disciplinary hearing and scores of books were removed from her school library after she stocked Laura Bates’ Men Who Hate Women

This is utterly jaw-dropping.

A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils.

Hi all. Adopt a rent was alerted to 2 needs that are back rents for February & March and we do not have donors currently.

One is A who was detained by ICE from December to February and thus lost his work permit & job. He owes just over $3000 for back rent including march.

Can you chip in or share?

This makes me incandescently angry. A refugee from genocide, a vulnerable, nearly blind man in an unfamiliar country, just treated like trash.

Everyone involved in this needs to go to jail.

We Need to Talk About the Right’s New Voter Suppression Target: Women The SAVE Act would make it harder for married women in particular to vote, and that is just one part of the MAGA right's misogynist project.

The SAVE Act absolutely will disenfranchise women.

More than a few on the right want women to lose the vote entirely.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

I note that the White House originally said it was the White House Historical Association that preserved items from the East Wing. Now it says the General Service Administration and the National Park Service did. Did they? Did anyone?
