Dr Taylor passed away. His work is invaluable to African American history.
www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Dr Quintard Taylor, founder of @blackpastonline.bsky.social, “there’s a direct frontal assault on African American history.” The rich detail @blackpastonline.bsky.social contains of AfAm achievement across a range of endeavors refutes DJT’s cynical worldview.
UW professor battles a ‘direct, frontal assault’ on Black history
When Quintard Taylor launched BlackPast in 2007, he didn’t realize attacks on history would make the site as necessary as it has proved to be, columnist Naomi Ishisaka writes.

U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson voted against honoring “the life & legacy” of Charlie Kirk on Friday, saying that the conservative activist “resurrected dangerous prejudices of a dark past."
“The fact is Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was divisive, disparaging, & too often rooted in grievance,” he said.

Would Walter Cronkite, Roger Mudd, Harry Reasoner, Dan Rather, and John Chancellor have reported differently about the state of the world today than contemporary journalist/reporters?

We must coordinate mass action to counter the fossil fuel lobby.
Climate Change is going from a brush fire to an inferno. We can't sprinkle a few drops of action upon it and expect it to be extinguished. Pointing fire hoses of mass actions upon it from every direction is the only way we are going to avert a global catastrophe.

Here are just a few of the 500+ books in my library. Most are of social justice, fascism, WWII, climate change, racism and other matters that we currently see Trump and the admin encroaching upon.
We know so much about the past and now we are facing it again. How have we got to this point again?

Here's my solution to avoiding network TV and streaming services. I haven't ever subscribed to a streaming service such as Netflix or Paramount. Other than MeTV and PBS, I don't usually watch network TV. Don't give up on physical media.

According to the GOP public transit in NYC is unsafe with muggers, druggies and murderers? Then why is Mamdani having people who are participating in his #ZcavengerHunt take public transit? But, what do I know since I live in Idaho. 😉

For years the Right screamed about protecting their 2A rights and amassed large collections of guns to fight government tyranny. Now they are no where in sight to fight the government as it invaded cities and torments the public.
DC police are now harrasssing people on metro bus stops. This is Fascism.
