The last time we had someone we hated we greeted him with Darth Vader’s theme song. Not sure what we’re going to end up going with Trump.. http://www.blackfive.net/main/2007/10/uk-band-greets-.html

Whenever I see her speak my heart breaks thinking of how I would have loved to see her as the President. Her specifically, not “a woman.”

He makes Dubya look like a fucking Rhodes scholar. This is the same Dubya who didn’t know how to put on his rain poncho at the inauguration.

Do the old gimmick of having Trump look in the mirror. Baldwin plays Trump; Rosie O’Donnell plays the reflection.

okay, now we NEED Rosie to play Bannon...

George! In his bathrobe. Shaking hands with Obama. I’m dying.

We’re ready. (NSFW audio)

Any other order is seriously just illogical. I still have people comment on it and I’m like uh how else do you organize history???

This brings a little bibliophilic tear to my eye. You are a good noodle.

I LOVED the Dear America books! In fact, I loved them so much, my 3rd grade self WROTE one about a girl coming over on the Titanic. Wow, I had forgotten about those until now.

The Dear America series should basically be required reading, imo. It gave me so context to American history that either my education didn’t provide as thoroughly or to put what I was learning in a context I could relate to. I still have the entire collection (in chronological order, thank you) and lend them out to…

I have a huge collection of the hardcovers (did they come any other way?) that went through the Trail of Tears, slavery, indigenous struggle, and so on. I still have a big place for those books in my heart and I read them cover-to-cover several times over as a child. Bless that series.

Still super relevant these books can still be to students. My sister reads the Canadian version of Dear America, each character is a female perspective of living through historical events. I love that she loves it because society has focused on girls to get into engineering, maths, and science ( i am not disrespecting…

That sounds amazing, honestly. In a really morbid way.

The Winter of Red Snow! I did a very horrifying book fair project on that book involving cherry snowcones.

Yes! There was also a great one about a Native American girl who was taken from her family and sent to one of those boarding schools. I remember that they really didn’t shy away from how these kids were having their identity and heritage stripped from them (I vividly remember the scene where they cut off the…

I loved Dear America, I ate those books up!

Dear America made me who I am today...no exagerration. Because of those books I discovered a deep love for American history coupled with a strong identification of my Americanness. I went on to major in United States History in college and I now teach U.S. History and Government at the high school level. Those books…

Those books really did impact me as a kid. Number the Stars, The Devil’s Arithmetic, Brothers in Valor...though the one that really fucked me up was Forgotten Fire, all about the Armenian genocide. At the time, I’d never even heard of the Armenian genocide, and it was this unrelenting first-person novel about how this…

I loved the Dear America books! I really remember the one about Julie Weiss, whose family sent her to America after the Anschluss, and she became an actress. Those books had such a big impact on me as a kid.
