Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026
This is a fantastic way to educate children
It’s a form of resistance.
Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.
These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”
So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.
