We are announcing today that The American Revolution will stream for free in its entirety on all PBS platforms from May 25th through July 12. Hope you have a chance to watch, ideally with friends and family, as you think about our 250th anniversary this July 4th. pbs.org/kenburns/the-america…

Great idea!
Replying to @MissouriWestern
@MissouriWestern you should invite @SethMacFarlane to speak at graduation, December 2026 (my kid). Show him all the new art rooms, digital animation facilities, & film production rooms. Maybe honor him with a Doctorate while your at it... Make him an Honorable Griffon!

Absolute bombshell. Tucker Carlson publicly urges the US military and Pentagon officials to actively defy Donald Trump and refuse orders if he attempts to launch nuclear weapons against Iran. The administration is completely out of control.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today. Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Several contradictory things are simultaneously true: 1. Maduro was an oppressive, unpopular and illegitimate ruler, disastrous for his country and the region. 2. Using the US to remove him may have been equally illegitimate. 3. Venezuela would be better off with a new government under the opposition's Edmundo Gonzalez (who probably won the presidential election but is now exiled). 4. It's not clear that Maduro will be replaced by Gonzalez. Maduro's VP is still apparently in power, as are other regime figures and the Cubans who back them. 5. As we've seen in Iraq and Libya, it can be easier to topple a leader than to establish a new government; sometimes you get a worse leader, or Somalia-style chaos.

Uneducated voters pose a greater risk to this nation than undocumented immigrants ever will.

“When democracy deteriorates, you need more and better civic education. If there is a pandemic, you need to send in the nurses and the doctors. It’s the same thing with a democracy crisis — civic educators are the nurses.” - @LouisaSlavkova at @THECIVICS nytimes.com/2025/10/07/world…

Brilliant idea.
New Rule: Jameis Winston’s next contract is with ALL 32 NFL Teams and whenever a starter is out he gets to fill in. Dude is absolutely must watch TV.

Louder for those in the back!!
Another idea: make sure students spend at least 45 minutes daily learning knowledge-rich social studies and science beginning in Kindergarten rather than giving them 3 hour “literacy” blocks and double blocking ELA & Math in middle school.

I'm a pretentious and snob Swiftie whose favorite album is Folklore and who, apart from Taylor, listens to mostly alternative and rock music and I'm telling you that Showgirl is a great album and I don't understand how you can't enjoy such fun, contagious and addictive songs.

So incredibly impressed with the CPS elementary teachers who are not just teaching SS but beautifully integrating it with other subjects. Such powerful learning experiences for our students!
