America Was Never Meant to Think too Hard He is in the fifth grade when they stop asking him to read full books.

Democracy dies w/o critical thinking - and it gets buried early.

A large majority of our schools...still...value compliance over critical thinking...still...

I suspect this structural disrespect for thinking in the U.S. has fluctuated depending upon how authoritarian leaders are. NOW, tho, WHEW!

CNN compilation of Trump repeatedly saying the war in Iran will end "pretty soon." If this were only a comedy skit, it might be humorous. As it is, this is tragic.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

We are all trapped in our Mind's with the Minotaur. But we are now also all trapped in Trump's mind, with the beast that is his brain.
On Trump and the Minotaur.

Ballmer gives $80 million to NPR, with strings attached $113 million in total new donations won’t save existing jobs, apparently.

NPR journalist David Folkenflik writes that this donation, and another $33 million from an anonymous donor, “were intended for specific purposes, not to build the endowment or to expand news coverage.”

The #Trump war on #Iran is turning into a mercantile one. "Mercantile," as in #Mercury, which is currently applying to the #Mars and #Saturn conjunction.

Fact for today: There are still almost 200 coal power plants still operating in the US. There are less than 8 in Canada and none in the most industrial and populous province, Ontario. If companies really believe in reducing climate impacts, they can choose countries that produce cleaner energy.

As a parent, you have to take accountability for how “doing what you had to do” affected your children. You just have to.

England fans facing hugely inflated prices to get to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for World Cup games The cost of getting the train from New York to the venue, where the Three Lions play Panama in their final group game, will be £111 - nearly 12 times the usual fare.

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:

Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.

I've told my family to stay away.

Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

We all known A*azon tends to sell books bellow list prices, but I've recently found them selling books at below WHOLESALE prices. I know this because I own a store. That's fucked up.
Anyways, support your local book stores. Shit's tough.

How on earth do people not consider driving dangerous!

Just seen a woman driving an X5 BMW, phone tucked under her ear. Putting on lip gloss.

🤦‍♂️

You’re driving a lethal weapon that needs absolute concentration.

Your phone call and lippy can wait. Someone’s safety can’t

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.

I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

Does Moon conjunct Pluto have any association with hoarding or having a hard time letting go of things you collect?

Or any Moon-Pluto hard aspects?
