Yesterday's thoughts on the Revolution. If we don't know it all (and no one does, nor will anyone), how can we decide what is "essential"? https://t.co/t4kKGW1m4r
@grynbaum Claims made without evidence are claims that are made falsely, unless of course, you believe that there is somewhere, out there in the universe one small sliver of a chance that the articles were intended to demean the military. That's not a rational thought. "Falsely claimed"
Serious question US History teachers - is this quote going to make it into your next current event lesson? If you include it you're contributing to the deterioration of public discourse. If you don't include it, you're covering up a President's deterioration of public discourse
President Trump on Israel and Iran: "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they donโt know what the fuck theyโre doing."
Wondering whether the work of history teachers to help students make sense of the past so they understand it also makes then ill-equipped to appreciate the size, scope and scale of seismic change that defies any sense in the present. https://t.co/tSk9syChEg
@SenFettermanPA Good start. Did the Senate orientation include anything on the power of Senators beyond social media posts? Take a took at Article I of the Constitution, Section 8 especially.
@jfritze The headline reads "The Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to enforce the Alien Enemies Act for rapid deportations for now, handing the White House a significant victory." Victory? Really? Is this a game? Stop sportscasting politics
Hiring a decorating service to string up lights on your house for the holidays is like using AI to write โ the product looks good but a little fake โ and you gain nothing from it. A thought unlikely to change any student's mind, but I'll share it anyway. https://t.co/iTb1AA5TJl
No one alive in 1938, 1858 or 1985 could predict their future. Even in retrospect it's difficult to comprehend the scale of World War II, the Civil War and the end of the Soviet Union. We can't predict our future either, but we can get a sense of scale https://t.co/2ai8xSvw4J
Answering a student's "Why?" question about McCarthyism isn't easy. Putting McCarthyism in a calendar events to start thinking about the "Why?" in the context of what happened before and after is much easier, a good place to start. Here's how we did it - https://t.co/5hFHvMfevP
@ResisterSis20 @CNN@MSNBC These talking heads are the news-ertainment version of "chum machines" grinding up fish scraps in the form of stories, quotes and semi-factoids and spewing them out to bait more viewer's attention, conversation and complaint
In 1994, with the signing of the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine denuclearized in exchange for guarantees from Russia, the US, and the UK for sovereign borders and independence.
Ukraine has lived up to its commitments. The guarantors have not.
@atrupar I don't see it, she gave him free air time. Conversations that follow this model will produce the same result - just more conversations like this.
