Good God, The Times promotes Alabama's triumphalism for finding another way to kill a human being. No ifs, ands, or buts in this headline....

Well how about that? James A. Garfield NHS is just 99 followers away from 22K. Let’s keep this quiet. The last thing we want is anyone retweeting this and telling all their friends, “Oh, these folks are Twitter geniuses and you should totally follow them.” That would be terrible.
ALT A large gray house with a red roof is surrounded by green grass and trees. A white fence is in front of the house and a sign is visible that reads “James A. Garfield National Historic Site.”

We might take a tip from Harry Truman & compare our era’s anti-book, anti-vax & anti-elections Right to the New England witch scare of 1692. To understand McCarthyism, Truman commissioned a USAF officer to study “mass hysteria” in U.S. history. See below thread for excerpts:

At the moment of silence for the Capitol Police officers who died, there were only two Republicans who showed up.
Rep. Lynn Cheney. And her father. The 80 year old former Vice President.
An extraordinary image of where this country’s politics are right now.

My Research Methods class compiled archives of digitized early American newspapers as part of their responsibilities as guest curators for @SlaveAdverts250 & now they are learning more about the contents of those newspapers with a bingo game inspired by @HistoryCherry.

I'm seeing reports that guns were drawn on the House chamber????
Folks, this is OUR Capitol. OUR government. We have elected OUR representatives to Congress.
This mob is attacking OUR government.
YOUR government.
They are trying to physically shut down democracy.

Murphy: "The president is delusional. There was no voter fraud. He lost. The American people, by a large margin, chose Joe Biden as President of the United States. And this delusion is not a quaint side show. It's an assault on our democracy."

Trump tweets “Liberate Michigan”.
Now armed gunmen are storming the Michigan State House. Police are having to protect Governor Whitmer.
This is what happens when ANY unhinged, angry, ignorant person can arm themselves so easily....

History connections in Godspell include Frederick Douglas’s use of the Pslam 137 from “On the Willows” in his 1852 speech “What to the slave is the 4th of July” and British worker’s advocate & poet Ebenezer Elliott’s 1848 “People’s Anthem” as the text for “God Save the People”.
The power of music! Enjoy this clip from Godspell rehearsal! Reminder to find something to be grateful for as we navigate through a challenging time. From no audience to an audience of over 2.6k views after Lin Manuel retweeted this rehearsal video by @laylaclarke_.

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.
I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.
I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.

Jan. 23, 1866-NJ became the last northern state to ratify the 13th Amendment ending slavery. The 13th was rejected in NJ on March 16, 1865, ratified by Congress on Dec. 6, 1865. Gov. Marcus Ward (R-Newark) signed the 13th but vetoed the 14th in 1868.

Not STEM, but the arts, theatre, public speaking, civics and history have turned Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school students into powerful spokespeople for their cause slate.com/news-and-politics/…

You’re missing the point. We don’t want to take away your gun rights, we just want to prevent Americans from owning assault weapons and to tighten the methods at which a person can purchase a firearm. Sorry, @NRA, the children are winning. Thoughts and prayers. nitter.cf/nra/status/96755672528…
Let it be absolutely clear. The loss of a discount will neither scare nor distract one single NRA member from our mission to stand and defend the individual freedoms that have always made America the greatest nation in the world. #StandandFight #NRA #2A ms.spr.ly/6017r03yH
