By day: PhD in Leadership and Education. History/civics teacher. Striving to get the next generation involved. By night: Causing shenanigans with memes, puns, and general humor. Equal parts coffee, snark, and citations.

Buckle up.

  1. Don't put in the newspaper that she is a history buff.

    The review of the Smithsonian museums for "improper ideology" is being led by a 35-year old lawyer who has no experience or credentials in history or museum studies.

    But one supporter says she is an avid "fan of history."🗃️

    Who is Lindsey Halligan, the attorney assigned to help remove “improper ideology” from Washington’s most important cultural institution?

    She told Trump the Smithsonian needs changing. He’s ordered her to do it.

  2. If I were the Atlantic, I’d simply not let a fascist Manhattan Institute weirdo keep writing the same article about how all cities (by which he clearly means Black Americans) are scary

    Same fucking asshole wrote the same dumb article about NYC

  3. Looking at the AI 2027 website, and I am struck once again, that, like Kurzweil, these guys are mostly sci fi authors who don't realize that's what they're doing.

    This is one of the section headers:

    "February 2027: China Steals Agent-2"

  4. 🚨 Trump’s pushing to steal not just 5 but 8 seats in Texas.

    The threats from Greg Abbott and Republicans in power are getting old. If they zip-tie and march Democrats into the State House, it will ignite a nationwide rallying cry.

    FBI agents are stationed outside lawmakers’ homes.

  5. I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

    DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

    Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.
