Which leads me to my next question: Donald Trump is set to become president again, so what can we as citizens and even non-citizens do different this time that we didn‘t do last time whether it‘s in our communities here at home or whether it‘s how we hold our leaders accountable for their ideas as well as their actions? #thedivider #peterbaker #susanglasser #accountability #president #congress #leaders #uspolitics #politicalscience
First read of 2025. I thought it appropriate.
Happy New Year, Littens! 💕
Please. No. Not again. Can we please have a smooth, election certification? Or do we need to start rethinking the certification process? #thedivider #january6 #electioncertification #4yearslater #politicalscience #uspolitics #speakerofthehouse #president #vicepresident
pickI used to love books like this as a young reader. I love how it summarizes the key points of Lincoln‘s life and making it understandable for younger readers.
“John Adams was the first president to live in the White House. He was the second president of the United States.“
Lloyd G Douglas has written multiple other books about icons of the United States, like the Bald Eagle, the Statue of Liberty, and the Liberty Bell.
pickA book explaining what the white house is, like who lives there, what the Oval Office is, and White House traditions. It would be good to build civic knowledge in young grades!
Lessons: fight for what's right, speak your mind, freedom and justice,
“Sometimes, the hardest fights don't reveal a winner-- but they do reveal character. Especially when you're fighting for something you believe in.“
pickAnother first-person biography by Brad Meltzer, this time about Abraham Lincoln. Like all his other books, I think the comic-book-esque illustrations and first-person perspective will be entertaining for kids.
