Our children lost and caged

Putting together Editing the Harlem Renaissance with @RTangedal86 has been a fun ride, and I’m looking forward to the next stage of the process.

This is promoting white nationalism and American exceptionalism. Not only that, but attacking the 1619 Project and enforcing indoctrination propaganda through the education system is another step toward fascism.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

Pres Trump claims the 1619 project distorts and "rewrites" American history. He says the project wrongly says America was founded on "oppression not freedom."

Fact: At America's founding, kidnapped enslaved black people were exploited. The consequences of slavery continue today.

After years of dreaming about it, I’m finally teaching a Video Game Storytelling class. So of course I had to show off my #HollowKnight swag.

John Lewis will be missed. Such an important voice from the mid-20th century to today. He strove for love and equality. Each time I teach FSU’s African American Lit survey, we end with his graphic memoir March. His legacy will live on.

[Josh Murray @themurray]

Wait... I thought we could just pretend everything was fine and go back to business as usual without consequences. Is that not right?

Imagine what it could be like if our nation had an administration that strove for unity rather than division and placed the needs and the wellbeing of the PEOPLE first, rather than their own selfish interests.

On May 4, @jayrosen_nyu posted a precise, terse take on the White House strategy for COVID-19: "The plan is to have no plan" and force the public to grow numb: https://t.co/6lSgwkix2f

Today, a @washingtonpost story reports that this is indeed the thinking https://t.co/ZhgVrXe7GV

[Josh Murray @themurray]

Such a powerful video. Which legacy do we want to define America?

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

No patriotic American should brandish or proudly celebrate the iconography of a rebellion that resulted in tremendous devastation, the loss of more than 620,000 American lives, and the continued subjugation of Black America.

@RTangedal86 @PalgraveLit @Palgrave_ Congratulations, Ross!

@RTangedal86 So cool. I’ve seen this before, and it really helps to visualize the geography of the HR.
