this week in "everything is gender" a bunch of white dudes and the people who prop them up are SHOCKED that all the women they fired who worked in logistics and administration were able to organize a historical wipeout of the Republican party.

Great event this evening at Labyrinth Books (best window display!) in Princeton with @edgeofsports.bsky.social and @brianjoneseducator.bsky.social talking about "The People’s Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn" Order book & see the tour schedule here: www.zinnedproject.org/materials/th...

250 Years of Resistance: Brian Jones and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor in Conversation

YouTube video by Haymarket Books

“There can be no denying the scope and the dangers of this assault on Black history. But one unintended consequence may be a strengthening of the grassroots, fugitive channels of education that made it possible to bring our history “indoors” in the first place.” @brianjoneseducator.bsky.social

The Battle to Tell Black History

The right-wing attacks on Black studies have devastating consequences, but they won’t stop people from telling our history.

The eleventh issue of Hammer & Hope is now live! We are besieged by a ruling class focused on maintaining white power. They represent one tradition in the United States. But there is another, found in 250 years of resistance, rebellion, and refusal. One that continues today — because it must.

Has any book drawn more Americans leftward over the last 50 years than A People’s History of the United States? Conservatives are still saying the damage done by the book will take decades to remediate. @arh12.bsky.social interviews @edgeofsports.bsky.social about his new biography of Howard Zinn:

That’s How Change Happens
