History is not just about what was said by the powerful—it's also about what was endured by those who suffered.
The voices of Indigenous peoples remind us that behind political decisions were real lives, real families, and real pain. Remembering the past is not about division; it is about truth, understanding, and ensuring such injustices are never repeated.
🪶 Honor the truth. Learn the history. Respect the survivors.
The Honorable Minister @LouisFarrakhan with deep sadness yet with profound gratitude to Allah informs you that his beloved wife of 72 years, the First Lady of the Nation of Islam, Mother Khadijah has returned to Allah (may Allah be pleased).
Gone from being excited for my modules next year to worrying if they'll be taking place. Apparently Humanities aren't important anymore.

#OtD 25 Jun 1942 French press denounced the Zazous: young people who embraced African American swing and jazz music and style and fought against fascists in the streets. More info in our podcast episode on anti-Nazi youth movements: https://t.co/YxRrMdmQZO
The existence of the State of Israel, the merger of Judaism with Jewish nationalism, has unavoidably changed what being a Jew is. https://t.co/DbQ4QTbkv9
The fascist roots of America inspired Nazi Germany. Now, Israel's etho-nationalist genocidal culture inspires America's Christian Nationalists, who have gained power in the second Trump administration.
AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. And they have to constantly churn out what they want people to be afraid of—to be afraid of socialists, to be afraid of immigrants, to be afraid of women. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.
And that is the large corporations that are engaged in profiteering and jacking up your prices for no good reason. It’s going to be this administration that is engaged in record levels of swindling, theft, tariffs, and attacks on your housing.
And so this is kind of their new thing of the day. But I think that people are feared out. I think everyone’s nerves are shot from constantly being taught and told what country, person, or community to be afraid of. And they just want a solution. They want their groceries to be more affordable. They want to figure out how we’re going to get health care. They want our housing to get under control.
And I think that we’re ready for an affirmative vision, and we’re ready for an affirmative agenda.
Religious-right activist Ralph Reed crows that Mike Johnson "came out of our movement" and rose to become Speaker of the House by "divine appointment": "God has given him favor with his colleagues, favor with the president, and favor with the American people."
Nicolás Maduro is being kept in solitary confinement, locked in a 6ft by 10ft room for more than 23 hours a day
All because he wouldn't let Donald Trump steal Venezuela's oil
The silence from the international community is deafening
They don't care about US/Israeli War Crimes
AOC on Inflation: It’s not easy to just find a cheaper apartment when every apartment or every home in your area is the same unaffordable price.
And so what is so challenging about this is that this isn’t just like going to the grocery store and buying the generic cereal and switching over. How do you actually accommodate when you can’t afford medicine, when you can’t afford your housing? This is a crisis…
MacFarlane: Do you think the administration is taking it seriously?
AOC: No, they’re making it worse because what the Trump administration is doing is entering sweetheart deal after sweetheart deal, whether it’s with Monsanto and our food supply with glyphosate, whether it’s housing, whether it’s, you know, these crypto agents that are engaged in money laundering—I think at least.
I think they are not only ignoring it, they see it and they are actively making it worse. And what they think is that people are too dumb to understand what it is that they’re doing.
They’re banking on the fact that people will support them no matter what and that nothing will change that support. And I think that what is really important is for every voter, regardless of your background or your party or whatever it is, to understand what’s your line and what is acceptable to you.
