I’m a New Englander who loves to walk, cycle, kayak, travel and build community. In my community I'm a Town Meeting Member, and I serve on the Library Foundation (we're building a new library), and on the Community Path Project Committee (we're building one of those too). I joined Mastodon to find news, thoughtful conversation, and fun.

House showing time. See you if news breaks.

This is the family that's coming back for a second look, is comparing our house to one other.

Hopefully, ours is the winner.🤞🏼

Judge: School punishment for Black student's hair is legal in CROWN Act lawsuit

The CROWN Act prohibits race-based hair discrimination.

In MA punishment for wearing natural hair is illegal. In 2022 a federal law similar to the one in MA made it through the House, but failed in the Senate.

This. Was excellent.

“Pundits suggest replacing President Biden as the Democratic nominee because they don’t understand the job of the presidency or how conventions work. Lawrence O’Donnell gives a history lesson in governing in the age of television.”

Thanks for sharing this. I’d listened to the Ezra Klein podcast Lawrence refers to, and as I did I thought “I’d love to hear a rebuttal to this”.

Hey folks:

If you head over to Instagram and go to Heather Cox Richardson's page or my page, you'll find the first episode of something that we plan to do regularly; we're two historians looking at the news.

This was our first stab. Watch for more! We'll announce new episodes as they appear. (Can't tell you how happy I am to be history-hanging-out with Heather again!)

I’m a third person who doesn’t have/doesn’t want an Instagram account, but would love to see what you did with HCR. Can you do it here on Mastodon?

Thanks for the link. They do have a great chemistry! So good to seem them together again, and their topic was an important one.

@jbf1755
Great conversation! Please post here again the next time you and Heather have a conversation — and include a link so those of us just here can find it and listen too.
