Zinn Ed Project

@LandH2OPlaceUMN Yes, find us on Bluesky bsky.app/profile/zinned…

This should be part of everyone's American History classes. @ZinnEdProject I know y'all are on this.

The constitutionality should absolutely have been determined beforehand. This is so out of order from scholars who absolutely know better. Just invented a weasel excuse post facto instead of telling the truth.

Just a reminder. The slave industry was more profitable than the rail road industry. Slavery was Americas first big business

We are excited to support @ZinnEdProject this month. Read more about how they support the teaching of people’s history in K-12 classrooms. blog.credo.com/2025/01/01/don…?

Was thinking about Harry T. and Harriette Moore this morning. Langston Hughes, Ballad of Harry Moore (Feb. 1952)

@rebeccanagle @NewYorker As well it should be!

By the Fire We Carry was included in this @NewYorker list of the best books of the year! buff.ly/47Nm5YA

What we are seeing in South Korea right now is not just a moving example of democracy but also an important reminder of how strong historical education can empower people to not repeat the worst of its history.

This is my great grandfather’s poem!

@kcarterjackson @Wellesley @BasicBooks Smart choice on their part. Your book should win ALL the awards and recognition!

This is awesome! So grateful! @Wellesley @BasicBooks

@AfricanaCarr @SmithsonianNMAI This year the NMAI released a new curriculum for upper elementary on Thanksgiving. Part of their powerful NK360 series. ⬇️ americanindian.si.edu/nk360/resource…

One of my favorite museum galleries anywhere in the world: The ⁦@SmithsonianNMAI⁩ ‘s 3rd floor South Gallery exhibit “Americans.” A #Thanksgiving reminder that the past isn’t past and the living now encompasses all of us.

This is why, more than ever, people should not obey in advance. Especially teachers of history.

Tribes are calling on Biden to help protect sacred spaces by designating new national monuments before he leaves office. buff.ly/3ZdEzjJ

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum: "If even a small percentage of what the United States allocates to war were instead dedicated to building peace and fostering development, it would address the underlying causes of human mobility."

@willathewisp @haymarketbooks @BostonReview @nplusonemag @thenation @truthout @Mondoweiss @MassReview @the_point_mag @HammerandHope @scalawagmag @RethinkSchools Thousands of teachers continue to teach people's history in Texas. We support them and we aim to make sure that the role, intellect, and importance of pre-K-12 teachers and students is recognized. #FugitivePedagogy

@ZinnEdProject @haymarketbooks @BostonReview @nplusonemag @thenation @truthout @Mondoweiss @MassReview @the_point_mag @HammerandHope @scalawagmag @RethinkSchools I'm in Houston and I'm about ready to catch fire with rage at what the Texas Legislature is doing to education here--completely irrespective of our votes to the contrary. Have been wanting to start a free school in response. But it isn't a shared rage at all, just as you say.

Simply saying “the Overton Window has shifted right” is too vague a term for how devastating the slide to fascism has been in the past 10 years in the realm of cultural criticism and public debate. A 🧵

@willathewisp @haymarketbooks @BostonReview @nplusonemag @thenation @truthout @Mondoweiss @MassReview @the_point_mag @HammerandHope @scalawagmag @RethinkSchools TY. We're concerned that while the right sees power of pre-K-12 education -- and therefore suppresses it; liberals & the left largely ignore it. e.g., little to no post-election analysis on impact of anti-CRT laws & book bans on gullibility to racist, divide & conquer rhetoric.

@ZinnEdProject @haymarketbooks @BostonReview @nplusonemag @thenation @truthout @Mondoweiss @MassReview @the_point_mag @HammerandHope @scalawagmag @RethinkSchools And Zinn Education Project! I absolutely loved the newsletter y'all sent out yesterday. Everyone reading this who is interested in anti-fascist K-12 education, follow @ZinnEdProject and @RethinkSchools

@willathewisp @haymarketbooks @BostonReview @nplusonemag @thenation @truthout @Mondoweiss @MassReview @the_point_mag @HammerandHope @scalawagmag And @RethinkSchools

@haymarketbooks Support anti-fascist publications. @BostonReview, @nplusonemag, @thenation, @truthout, @Mondoweiss, @MassReview, @the_point_mag, @HammerandHope, @scalawagmag. Check out the Media Against Apartheid and Displacement Collective.

@mehdirhasan That combined with anti-history ed laws and book bans: The right seeks to strip students of the right learn to from history to recognize divide & conquer rhetoric, the value of interracial solidarity, critical literacy, research skills, and how to organize for justice for all.

When the owner of this website, the richest man in the world, the most followed-man on Twitter, constantly, daily, hourly, posts again and again to tens of millions of followers that the media lies, that the media can’t be trusted, that all media is corrupt and dishonest, you don’t think that has a massive effect not just on trust and polarization in society, but on election outcomes and political messaging? Especially when it comes after years of Donald Trump doing the exact same thing? If Dems, and liberals in general, don’t understand the way in which Musk, Trump and co have cynically created an unpenetrable bubble around their followers, primed them against a reality-based universe, pre-emptively undermined any negative stories about themselves, then Dems and liberals will never be able to ‘win’ - in terms of narratives or elections. It’s key to everything. It’s at the heart of everything.
