Information wants to be free, and bad news travels faster than good. It's my sad duty to report that History News Network no longer has sufficient funding to maintain its operations as an active project of the History Department at George Washington University.

So. Fox is altering quotes from government officials to suit their politics. They are trying to convince viewers that EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT SEX CHANGE. When they’re not. They are violating the terms under which they use these wire services. This needs to be known.

Fox News is altering wire stories from the Associated Press and Reuters--including quotes from sources-- replacing "gender-affirming care" with "sex change" and "sex reassignment." Both AP and Reuters confirm this breaks their rules for client outlets. mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n

Monument to Walter Benjamin at Port Bou cemetery (spanish border with France) where he was buried. He was escaping the Nazis & committed suicide after being denied entry to Spain. Benjamin, a major thinker, was also Jewish and anti-fascist.

As people debate race-neutral, mostly SES-focused approaches to college access & success awaiting SCOTUS decisions, here’s a new study on how racial disparities can persist when you don’t take into account how racism shapes educational opportunities prior to college attendance.

New in @JDHEtweets from @FromFireToTable @Dcollier74 @McmullenIsabel & me about the impact of promise programs on college student 1st yr stop-out. While SES barriers are reduced for students, cumulative racial privileges continue to propel white students. psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/dh
