There are so many missed opportunities to commemorate and even celebrate the end of slavery in the United States. Imagine if our New Year's Eve celebrations were not just an opportunity to ring in the new year, but to recommit ourselves to freedom and liberty. #WatchNight #EmancipationProclamation

"From which we are to infer, that the liberation of four millions of slaves and their elevation to manhood, and to the enjoyment of their political and civil rights was more than he could stand, and and so he died.--Frederick Douglass on the cause of Robert E. Lee's death, #OTD in 1870 🗃️

Amid anti-DEI push, National Park Service rewrites history of Underground Railroad
Since Trump took office, the park service, an agency charged with preserving American history, has changed how its website describes key moments from slavery to Jim Crow

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

Bad Bunny's Tiny Desk was great. The instrumentation and energy were so dope. I was such a fan of Fabiola Mendez and Luis Sanz on the cuatros. It was *only* missing NUEVAYoL. Best part? My son clapping along to LA MuDANZA and them getting me to yell "yo soy de P f*ing R!" I'm not. But too good.

Some great advice: "In class, we professors need to slow down... Slowing down is also necessary to push back on the evasions to thought made possible by generative AI. If students can avoid thinking outside of class, it is imperative that they be asked—indeed forced—to think in class."

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

April 4, 1925 - This congressman got overpaid and returned the check #100yearsagotoday . Tucker was part of an old, wealthy, formerly enslaving Virginia family. So maybe easy to do the right thing. He’a best known for writing a definitive, constitutional argument for women’s suffrage. #retropolis

Elon, photo ID for voting was already the law in Wisconsin. And you said the supreme court race would determine the destiny of mankind… until your guy lost. Pathetic.
The image is a screenshot of a social media post by Elon Musk (@elonmusk
), posted 7 hours ago, stating: "This was the most important thing." Below, a post by America (@america
), posted 10 hours ago, reads: "BREAKING: Wisconsin Question 1, which adds a Voter ID requirement to the state’s Constitution has passed." The accompanying graphic has a green background with a circular outline of Wisconsin in black and white, titled "WISCONSIN ISSUE 1 Require Voter Photo ID Amendment," and a "PROJECTED WINNER" label with a checkmark.
