HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING!

A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside!

His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

A newspaper that prints only what is safe is no newspaper at all.

In Seeds of Rebellion, young readers step into a world where telling the truth could be treason.

Perfect for parents who want their kids to see why words still matter.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The news has been a lot lately. Living through historic times is hard, especially when you don’t know how it will end.

13 year old Rose learns this in 1774 Williamsburg.

History reminds us people have faced uncertainty before, and found ways to move forward.

Rebellion. Resistance. Revolution.
Rose, Nathaniel, and Pearl discover that history isn’t just dates—it’s decisions. Some kids’ history books oversimplify.
 Mine invite readers to think, investigate, and imagine themselves as agents of justice—even in 1774.

The great @johncusack.bsky.social on why news organizations shouldn't paywall FOIA-based reporting: "Paywalls don’t just limit readership, they create kind of a tiered citizenry, where one group can afford to know what the government is doing in their name and the other can’t."
John Cusack wants to talk about paywalls.
The movie star says that by selling their public-records-based reporting, news outlets are compromising one of journalism’s essential civic roles.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

It's pretty therapuetic to write your representative and tell them how you feel about bombing other countries without congressional approval and kidnapping their president and first lady.
I highly recommend it.

A History Detective Club member shared with me that her mom posed for the painting used for Colonial Williamsburg paper dolls in the 1940s. I was able to track the set down!
The paper dolls arrived in the mail this morning. I am so excited to have these in my collection.
