Debunking Trump’s Tariff Myth

Yo, Miss! Podcast ·

2025/04/03

In true Trump fashion, today’s “Liberation” speech was rife with economic myths — this time claiming that the U.S. stopped using tariffs after 1913.Spoiler alert: we didn’t. From the sky-high Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922 to the Smoot-Hawley disaster and beyond, tariffs stuck around — and often made things worse, especially for farmers. This short video dives into the history Trump skipped and why most economists still wince at the mention of protectionist trade policy. Get full access to Yo,

A Yo, Miss! History Lesson: Cory Booker Breaks Strom...

2025/04/02

Today, I gave a quick lesson to my students about Senator Cory Booker’s history-making moment yesterday. I highlighted the striking contrast between Senator Booker and Senator Strom Thurmond, focusing on how Booker broke Thurmond’s infamous record for the longest single filibuster in U.S. Senate history. Thurmond, a staunch segregationist, famously filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 to block progress toward racial equality, using Senate rules to entrench segregation and maintain the status

Yo, Miss! Podcast ·

2025/04/01

Senator Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor since 7pm last night to protest the Trump Administration’s policies. He is using his time on the Senate floor to share the stories of Americans across the country who have already been harmed by the Trump administration’s actions.Technically, this is not a filibuster because Booker is not delaying the Senate from passing a bill or confirming a nominee.Historically, one of the longest single-person filibusters was by Senator Strom Thurmond of South

So much breaking news these days, I apologize for all the posts in your inbox from me. #SariNotSorry 😎✌🏼❤️‍🔥 But as you probably already saw, President Trump just signed an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to initiate steps toward dismantling the Department of Education, aiming to shift control of school policy to the states. However, fully abolishing the department necessitates congressional approval, which is currently lacking. Anyone with a BASIC AF civics education

They tried to erase Jackie Robinson—and public pressure forced them to bring him back. The Department of Defense (DOD) quietly removed an article honoring Robinson’s military service as part of a larger purge targeting anything labeled “DEI.” The article, which had been on the DOD website for years, told the story of Robinson’s time in the Army, including how he was nearly court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated military bus. By Wednesday morning, the page was gone. By

Yo, Miss! Podcast ·

2025/03/19

The Trump administration’s recent moves to limit how we teach U.S. history is an assault on our democracy. With their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) measures, they are trying to whitewash the past, eliminating crucial discussions about race, identity, and the historical injustices that have shaped this country. It’s an attempt to control what students can learn about the struggles of marginalized communities, and it is part of a dangerous trend to undermine critical thinking in education
