The House just voted to turn "one person, one vote" into "one person, one birth certificate, one passport, and a mountain of paperwork."
The SAVE America Act isn't about "security"—it's a bureaucratic trap designed to sideline millions of eligible voters just in time for the 2026 midterms. From the "show your papers" registration mandate to the new photo ID hurdles, we've seen these suppression tactics before.

Watching Trump’s Venezuela adventurism, I keep thinking about how often U.S. power gets sold as “necessary” and “for their own good,” right up until the bill comes due.
I turned that into a teacher-friendly lesson using Library of Congress political cartoons. It stays usable in class while still asking hard questions. https://peterpappas.com/2026/01/the-constable-or-the-conqueror-debating-u-s-intervention.html #HistoryTeacher #HISTED #SSchat #History #HistoryMatters #Cartoon #politics #Trump #comics

Pro tip: when a White House builds a “Media Offenders” list, you can pretty much read it as “Start here for solid Trump coverage.” Thanks for the reading list, Mr. President.

Turn your students into historical detectives. I just posted a way to use AI to create custom mystery activities where every student holds a clue and the whole class has to argue their way to an explanation. https://peterpappas.com/2025/12/design-your-own-historical-mysteries-with-ai.html #HistoryTeacher #EdTech #TeachingWithAI #HISTED #SSchat

Young Republican’s racist chat leaks are not a shock to history teachers. Currier and Ives’ “Darktown comics” sold by the tens of thousands and trained Americans to laugh at brutality. See the comics and connect the dots. https://forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/the-cruelty-of-the-darktown-comics #racism #history
