This is amazing--hope to use some of these in APUSH!

Sharing this collection of publicly-accessible primary sources in African American History I put together for my students in case my syllabusting folks find it useful. I draw on some of these for class sessions, but found it especially helpful for students' final papers.

College is dumb never mind you can just stay with us and play video games and yell until 1am it’s fine I promise 🥹💚🐾

Told my students today that my teaching philosophy is high standards and expectations, with a bouncy safety net, and also, they can put this on my tombstone:

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI. I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

This is the bare truth. Every second of this. This idea needs to break through to the mainstream, and I'm not sure it will; propaganda is extremely difficult to be heard over. But if it did, well, that would be a very good thing.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

Rainy here today so I took myself to see the Odyssey since no one in my family wanted to commit the 3 hours and it really felt like one I should see in the theater. Fabulous. A capital "M" movie. There's a reason that story has lasted thousands of years.

PLEASE keep this guy on the ballot. How sad is it that I'm rooting for that at this point? This is my (heavily gerrymandered) district and if this abuser moron is on the ballot, then Poindexter has a chance--a CHANCE--to flip. Also sad that the gerrymander will still make it... a chance

Republican leaders worried about Ohio Congressman Max Miller’s reelection chances ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/08/06/r...

Monday’s Sunrise over Cleveland, Ohio

Kinda floored it took this long for my horrific representative Max Miller to get national attention. He lives a mile down the road from me. None of this is news to ANYONE here. End gerrymandering btw. That’s why he is my representative. Let’s flip this seat away from this abuser.

This is a TREASURE TROVE that would also work well with my #APUSH students! #iteachsocialstudies #sschat

I shared last week how I pair short primary source excerpts from American Yawp Reading & others with short secondary sources from places like We're History or @jstordaily.bsky.social Several peeps asked for my pairings, so I've added pairings from 1st & 2nd half U.S. history to my website 🗃️ #sschat

Proponents say the changes to the federal preservation rules are necessary, but critics argue they are alarming and would help expedite the president’s redesign of Washington.

They make it REALLY hard to tell them you don't want this (shocking)-I have a GoogleDoc all ready to go (must be printed and snail-mailed by August 3rd) so DM me if you want a copy.

Husband just came in to tell me that since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln every American president has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover.

A slave patrol argument if ever there was one. The free movement of racialized people does not make them intrinsically dangerous. That is a racist lie designed to promote terror & legitimize violence & plunder.

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.

They’re doing the “Patriot Games” hunger games thing for 14-17 year olds where…my kid played in an indoor soccer tournament on a long weekend once 🤡🤡🤡

I live in this district/worked on another candidate's campaign. It was VERY clear-and VERY disappointing-how quickly the Dem Party Establishment backed this candidate solely on image, & Bernie threw his weight into this race. Obvi, still voting for Poindexter. But, symptomatic of larger problems.

Might I interest those in flipping the Senate to investing in OH? Seriously @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social is within striking distance and Husted is a terribly corrupt nothingburger rubber stamp of a senator. Anger here is palpable and rural communities rightfully pissed about data centers/prices. LFG

In 1952, 22-yr-old WAC Sarah Louise Keys Evans of NC bravely refused to give up her seat for a white man on bus from NJ to NC. She was arrested, filed suit (w/ lawyer Dovey J. Roundtree), & won. Now Army removed her story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202... www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/sa...

Them: “you teach high school history?! How do you do it?” Me: “how do you NOT?” best job in the world ❤️🥹

Wait they’re sending this to teachers via email on July 8th and the competition is August 13th?! Seems very well organized

*tap tap tap* Aldi has their teacher planners for $8.99 right now. Three designs. They’re honestly the best out there. Run don’t walk. Carry on with your summer ❤️

I just saw someone say that hindsight is 20/20 on Graham Platner, and let me just say that if you did not see this coming, your vision for such things needs to be checked.

Also, I know who I’m blaming for the vibes being wayyy off
