When it comes to nuclear weapons, Australians have a right to know – and a right to say No. Sign the petition to Prime Minister Albanese. petitions.getup.org.au/petitions/no... @getup.org.au

‘We must all now urgently spread the word to the public and to political leaders that there is a rational, multilateral alternative to the madness of war.’ - Melissa Parke www.rfp.org/there-is-a-r...

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

HCR always gives a clear explanation of the post‑WWII rules‑based order. Trump’s second term has weakened it through tariffs, unilateral war and abandoned allies, destabilising global norms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYmM...

Renee Good's last words and ICE agent's response after shooting her.

Trump's rewriting of the history of Jan is chilling, explains Peter McLaren in this excellent article in the LA Times. Every history teacher and history educator should be especially concerned about this. (See the sections near the end on this) www.laprogressive.com/progressive-...

HCR - '‘They are demanding that the people accept a lie for reality. A demonstration of authoritarian power.’ January 7, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Very true. substack.com/@carolecadwa...

Bob Rae's short article nails it. This is where we are at in 2026. 'Leaders unhinged from the rule of law and morality pose a threat to us all, in real ways we shall experience. It is a truly somber moment for the world.' - Bob Rae open.substack.com/pub/bobrae59...

Words of wisdom. ‘You never know when you're about to win. ...Like that's another historical lesson. ...And you have to recognize that the future is open. The ultimate historical lesson is that the horizon of possibilities is much broader than we see.'

Now that the US has changed sides history will be more unsafe than ever! Thanks to Phillips O'Brien for this excellent article. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/2025-in-re...

Nick Bryant is a historian who helps people understand the historical forces at play today in the US, Australia and the world. His books are particularly useful for history educators for teaching American history up to the present. nickbryant454396.substack.com?r=hclck&utm_...

Putin sits in Moscow claiming that his armies have taken a town that the Ukrainian president is personally visiting. There are cowardly tyrants and there are courageous elected leaders and it is good to know the difference.

Nice!

It's official, according to HCR. The rules-based order is over, at least as far as the USA is concerned. The National Security Council Report (NSC) 8 reorients the U.S. away from traditional European allies toward Russia and commits the U.S. and spheres of interest. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

'Unsafe History - The 21st Century fight for human rights and democracy.' 1:50-2.45 pm on Friday 5 December at Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

Unsafe History has endorsed the “Call to Reverse the Nuclear Arms Race.” 80 years since the start of the nuclear age, nuclear danger is growing. We must move away from the brink and get back on the path to a nuke free world: ReversetheArmsRace.org reversethearmsrace.wordpress.com/share-the-ca...

History always feels a little bit safer when HCR is explaining it. Great song! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHWW...

ICAN'S MEDIA RELEASE: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO RESUME NUCLEAR TESTING – 30 October 2025 Putin and Trump are now restarting the nuclear arms race. The 1985 Reagan Gorbachev warning that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought” has been forgotten. icanw.org.au/media-releas...

Our indispensable historian shining light in these dark times.

Spot on!

Heather Cox Richardson keeping us tethered to reality.

This looks like another great book by Michael McFaul helping us to make sense of this era of unsafe history.

Great to see!

This song is relevant again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Epu...

Power to the People!

No Kings Protest Rallies. A rousing speech by head of the American teacher union, Randi Weingarten, and author of WHY FASCISTS FEAR TEACHERS. See from 2:57:23 to 3:02:29 Making History Great Again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNfJ...

Be part of this, show up for #NoKings on Saturday — and join up with an organization afterwards — do what you can, it matters.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee's description of Venezuela sounds suspiciously like what Trump is doing to the US: www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

Now historians are being attacked by Trump and his lackeys. This is outrageous!

This book helps explain one of the major reasons why history is so unsafe right now.

Attacking universities makes everything unsafe.

Randi Weingarten - I recommend Randi's substack to all history teachers, especially colleagues in Australia. What we teach in history matters. I have listened to her interview with Jim Acosta, read her article and now await the delivery of here book. randiweingarten.substack.com?r=hclck&utm_...

Why Do Fascists Fear Teachers? www.aft.org/ae/fall2025/...

Another essential book for teachers in these dark times.

Let's make history safe again. We need more leaders like this who are speaking truth to demagogues. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I6h...

We absolutely need everyone to watch this.

The latest film to warn us. Will any of the leaders of the nine nuclear-armed nations take note?

The end of the world could come as easily as this. It's time to take notice of the nuclear threat and those who have been campaigning for years to end this threat. See ICAN's website for what you can do. See: icanw.org.au www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCyq...

Hanna is lighting the path for Christians trying to navigate this unsafe history we're living through.

'Fact, truth, trust. Without these three, you have no shared reality. We can't begin to have a conversation. We can't begin to solve any problems — and we have existential ones, like climate change. We can't have journalism. We can't have democracy.' www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Another successful cabinet meeting with Dear Leader

An amazing interview of Ken Burns (by Joe Rogan - who would believe it?) Burns oozes passion and mind blowing historical insight. Every history educator should watch this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAIi...

This is the way history should be approached. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBTo...
