President Trump signed an executive order that he said would “begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all.” Attempts to shutter the Department of Education are congressionally unlikely and legally questionable. theemancipator.org/2025/03/1…

My latest for @TeenVogue explores the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.
Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it was tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars

"When Black adults want to teach Black kids how and why to love themselves, they will reach for art, and when they reach for poems, it is very possible you might get a Hughes poem when you are being taught to see and love Blackness." theemancipator.org/2025/01/0…

It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8

The historic Black press can serve as a guiding light for practicing journalism in pursuit of a healthy democracy — or, at least, survival and community. They most often achieved this by opting against adopting a false neutrality and poor framing.

More important than ever:
Talk to your tweens and teens about what is bound to show up on their social media. Prepare them for the presence of ideological predators who target young people explicitly to indoctrinate them into anti-democracy movements.

In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD
