Although it looks very much like they are preparing to shape the million person army into partisan force to deal with the inevitable reactions to the pain they will cause.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

This shouldn’t be, but in many red states, Black history is whitewashed or barely taught. Thanks @aaronparnas.bsky.social and AP for breaking this good news. We need this…

Florida students are giving up their Saturday mornings to learn African American history at community centers across the state.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

Worked at NARA DC this week looking at reports from the New Orleans Navy Yard. Found this gem from 1817 shows local reaction to the order that workers at US Navy Yards must be white. This letter sums up the entire history of labor in New Orleans before Reconstruction!

For history teachers (and teachers overall):
I will reiterate that requiring students to critique A.I., using quoted and properly cited evidence from the document A.I. is attempting to talk about, appears to be an effective approach in the classroom. Happy to share details.

Writing about the federal Indian boarding schools on their final essay, a student called them "camps" - as in internment or concentration - instead of schools.

And that's exactly right.

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?

He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.

And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

We have a peculiar historical event shaping up where the oligarch billionaire class is about to fleece this country while most of their supporters are working people who are convinced that they are on their side because they hate migrants & trans people.

Trump pardoned his son-in-law's daddy, his campaign manager who lied to protect him, his NSA who lied to protect him, his Coffee Boy who lied to protect him, his rat-fucker who lied to protect him, & his former campaign manager who had just helped him launch an insurrection.
So President Biden has pardoned his son Hunter - and given Trump a precedent that certainly won't be abused.

We’re not accepting complaints about the Hunter Biden pardon unless you also complained about the Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort pardons.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.
