Today I was teaching my students about the Proclamation of 1763, issued by King George III after the Seven Years’ War. It prohibited American colonists from settling on or purchasing lands west of the Appalachian Mountains in an effort to prevent costly conflicts with Indigenous peoples.

People wondered why the “grab ’em by the pussy” tape wasn’t enough to destroy Donald Trump’s political career. There are obviously many reasons Trump won in 2016. But I keep coming back to one reason that tape wasn’t politically disqualifying: what we heard 1/

tape wasn’t only, “How could people hear a man talk about women that way and still vote for him?” Maybe the bigger question was: Why did that way of talking about women sound familiar enough that millions of 8/

see women’s bodies as things to possess, consume, trade, judge, or abuse. Those lessons don’t suddenly begin in college. Boys can encounter pornography and highly sexualized content online long before they have the emotional maturity to understand intimacy, consent, or healthy relationships.  6/

It’s voting season and midterms are less than 7 weeks away! I partnered with the @brennancenter.org to clear up two myths about voting that have been floating around.

9/11 was 25 years ago & the day never gets easier. My memories of that day are just as sharp today as they were a year right after the attack. I will never post images of the planes hitting the buildings though. I prefer to post this image every year.
