Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:
In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."
The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.
So they refused to announce a winner🤡

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

I know a lot of you are asking us or talking about the 12 IGs (Inspector Generals) being fired. They aren't stepping down until it's done correctly. This is how you #Resist

This second Trump administration is more emboldened than the first in pursuing a racist, white supremacist & nativist agenda.
This isn’t surprising. What’s disheartening is the sheer cowardice & complacency of so many institutions & elites in the face of this blatant attempt to turn back the clock.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

This is the only butterfly I wish would go extinct.
Without a deep understanding of the actual mathematics going on, these varieties of the “butterfly method” reduce math to a bunch of stupid rules to memorize.
Let’s continue the effort to teach real mathematics. ♾️

We Are Water Protectors lead us into a weeks long inquiry where we learned to ask questions and seek additional information to help answer those questions through multiple perspectives. Today, we returned to the picture book to ask critical questions of the text. It was SUCH a beautiful discussion.
