I hate to ask this here, in this way, but I'm not sure where to turn. Does anyone know a good Jewish cemetery in Seattle?

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

Bad Bunny's Tiny Desk was great. The instrumentation and energy were so dope. I was such a fan of Fabiola Mendez and Luis Sanz on the cuatros. It was only missing NUEVAYoL. Best part? My son clapping along to LA MuDANZA and them getting me to yell "yo soy de P f*ing R!" I'm not. But too good.

Some great advice: "In class, we professors need to slow down... Slowing down is also necessary to push back on the evasions to thought made possible by generative AI. If students can avoid thinking outside of class, it is imperative that they be asked—indeed forced—to think in class."

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

After Trump and Trumpism are consigned to the dust bin of history, we will need to spend a long time earning back the trust and friendship of our allies.

I am enjoying seeing all these #handsoff protests springing up around the country in towns both big and small. It's a hopeful thing to witness in such dark, scary times. And I love these DC protest signs.

One of the best things I do each year is advise National History Day. This program does more for history ed in my small school than anything else. Cutting this funding has no other goal than cruelty and power from our fascist government. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/a...

April 4, 1925 - This congressman got overpaid and returned the check #100yearsagotoday . Tucker was part of an old, wealthy, formerly enslaving Virginia family. So maybe easy to do the right thing. He’a best known for writing a definitive, constitutional argument for women’s suffrage. #retropolis

Was it ever easy to be a teen? Here's a diary entry from a girl on her 14th birthday, in 1799: “I am now enjoying what are called the juvenile years of life, yet no one can ensure me my life in this world for one moment.”

Elon, photo ID for voting was already the law in Wisconsin. And you said the supreme court race would determine the destiny of mankind… until your guy lost. Pathetic.

We rarely do a film twice on Historians At The Movies. And I thought long and hard about the right way to honor Val Kilmer in our own little way. But in the end, it really had to be this film. So join us on Hulu (or wherever) this Sunday, April 6 at 8pm eastern for TOMBSTONE. See you soon on #HATM

April 2, 1925 - Cars, or “machines” as they were frequently called, were a huge problem in DC #100YearsAgoToday. Every day, the front page was full of car accidents. The week before a member of Congress hit someone. A month ago, a famous pitcher hit a kid on a sled.🧵🧵. #retropolis
