Lots of good materials for social studies teachers (and ELA teachers) at RetroReport.org (videos, lesson plans). Plus, they sent me swag! Newsletter link here: sparklp.co/715ea501/ #retroreport

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made) I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

With today being GivingTuesday, DonorsChoose has a 50% match on donations. I have a project posted; if you would like to help out, here it is! donorschoose.org/project/improv…

An interesting alternate US map, particularly fun because it pretty much nails NJ.

Went back to the exact same place where protests were in Beijing last night in Liangmaqiao. Totally quiet. Instead, entire street of police vans. This is a police state w/ far-reaching security/surveillance. No social media that allows people to easily mobilize and gather either

The black-footed cat is the deadliest wildcat in the world. Though they weigh only 2 - 6 pounds, they take down more prey in a single night than a leopard does in 6 months.

Protest anthem “Glory to Hong Kong” played as the national anthem for HK at the men’s final between HK & South Korea at the Asian Rugby 7s in Incheon, South Korea yesterday. Team HK went on to win.

china passes united states in life expectancy should be a headline in every us newspaper

You can’t be pro-police and pro-insurrection.

@antd @initiumnews Would this include books about recent HK events?

On this day 78 years ago, 156,000 soldiers landed in Normandy to liberate France during WWII. Every year, French soldiers take sand from Omaha Beach and rub it onto the gravestones to give the letters a gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 American soldiers buried there.

No shortage of metaphors for Hong Kong at the moment hongkongfp.com/2022/06/01/kit…

Lam: “As far as any gathering is concerned there are a lot of legal requirements…”

@GlenBillesbach Include a little Rawls with the Kant stuff.

@GlenBillesbach Also, the reading might be a bit much. Is it coming from one book? Multiple books? Papers? Maybe you can find a collection of political theory texts that trim out some of the less-critical parts.

@GlenBillesbach Looks great, maybe a little intense. Other advice here is good. If you're covering this much material, make sure your lectures are clear & simple. Your goal isn't to repeat everything the philosophers ever said; it's to help your students understand and appreciate.

Interesting study of HK’s 2021 “patriots only” LegCo election: the charts for voter turnout by age are quite striking:

@GovEvers @WIDeptTourism Glad you are enjoying you’re retirement…

Had a blast on the historical trolley tour through La Crosse with @WIDeptTourism Secretary Sayers! From the sights at Grandad Bluff to the new cruise ship dockings at Riverside Park, I'm proud to see this area thriving as a travel destination for so many visitors.

That cut to Peter Doocy... “Everyone had to prove they were fully vaccinated and boosted. So if you are at home watching this and you wonder how to do that, just contact your favorite Fox News reporter. They’re all here, vaccinated and boosted, all of them.”
