Visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture is one of the most powerful and profound experiences I have had. The National Museum of Women’s History hasn’t even opened yet.

I was so excited to participate in #CivicLearningWeek by participating in #OTWV #OnTuesdaysWeVote! My students were asked, "Should civics education be a requirement for high school graduation?" The ones who said no, still said it was important and should be incorporated into their classwork!

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

"It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours & 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control."
