Ravitch has published two dozen books and countless articles. She is a historianโ€”making her the Heather Cox Richardson of education history, someone who can remind you that when it comes to education policy, what goes around comes around. teacherinastrangeland.blog/2025/10/26/d...

โ€œItโ€™s the economy stupidโ€ aged so badly. Look around, and youโ€™ll see everything is expensive, and thanks to the shutdown, millions could go hungry during the holidays. White people voted for Trump and foolishly believed his policies wouldnโ€™t impact them. Itโ€™s racism.

The โ€œNo Kingsโ€ movement stands at a precipice. It can continue as a series of laudable but contained protests, or it can choose a more courageous and powerful path.

All that stucco, molding, and wood from the East Wing of the White House had to go somewhere. So @nancywalecki.bsky.social tried to find it.

Large majorities of Americans are against the education censorship state laws MAGA pols have been passing; they are against book bans; they are for teaching a full history; they are for democracy; they are for separation of church and state.

Enter the Trojan Horse of "civics."

Much fascinating, telling language in this piece for K-12 educators to be alert to as Trump's DOE pursues its "civics" initiative developed by deep-pocketed, far-right groups: America 250 Civics Coalition.
Why Schools of Civic Thought Matter
These programs teach students about the arts of self-government and are revitalizing liberal education.

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more optionsโ€”when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Republicans bowed to pressure from Donald Trump to midcycle gerrymander at the expense of minority voters โ€” only to be sued by my law firm within hours or days.

If they expect us to eventually give up and back down, they are sorely mistaken. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/repu...
