An extraordinary weaver, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social depicts a terrifying tapestry of current autocratic power regimes, illustrating in detail how they systematically and strategically pull global economic & political strings to unravel democratic governments, promotion, and thought. 10/10 recommend!

I'm a busy mom and have a packed Saturday. I wish I could go out in support, but this is as good as it gets in my house today. Fight the good fight!

My sole note from my 4 kids, ages 4-14. I will forever treasure this simple and genuine card from #3. She made it happen, without any whining from me or mention from dad, done secretly with thoughtfulness and honesty.

Reading The Second Founding by @ericfoner.bsky.social Very intriguing and eye opening. Highly recommend.

The History Place - Great Speeches Collection: Frederick Douglass Speech - The Hypocrisy of American Slavery search.app/NJ9tWVngFX91...

I am helping my kids pick an American speech/prose to recite for our co-op's President's Day commemoration. Found was this Frederick Douglass speech. I read it aloud with all the pent up frustration and anger I'm currently feeling about these days. It felt cathartic. I recommend doing the same.
