The whole "society is in collapse" thing gets exhausting sometimes, but seeing Cineplex run ads for an essay writing service (cheating) nearly broke me. I guess ads for how to get out of trouble for running down pedestrians is next??

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

I would like more people to know about The Map Center but I've never bought ads and I don't want to start, especially if it means giving money to Mark Zuckerberg. Also it's kind of the best when people stumble in and their eyes get wide and they say "WHAT. IS. THIS. PLACE?"

Absolutely awful. I'm teaching a class on abolitionism this term (focusing on the life stories of individual abolitionists in the US) and will be sure to bring up this news the week we discuss Douglass. It seems important to publicize/track examples of whitewashing in the public history realm. 🗃️

The fact that NBC can (accurately) call the Administrative Procedure Act “obscure” just shows how little Americans know about how their government works. It literally is one of the most important laws ever enacted by Congress.
