@skirkwalsh Why do Americans think that we deserve such awful healthcare. Why do we put up with this? Europeans have full healthcare for all - elderly, mental health, etc. included. Vote Harris for much improved healthcare.

Distract them with eye- catching headlines and shallow stories that do not lead to deep thinking is a plan that has been going on at least since Regan and may not have peaked yet. Deep reading, deep writing, deep thinking, education and sharing with others what we’ve learned.Yes!

[S. Kirk Walsh @skirkwalsh]

Given PW/influencer article, re-upping. I think this applies to both reading & writing.

"We’re all in the grip of very smart entities who want to keep us from deep reading. It’s become an act of resistance to read deeply.... we're all part of that underground...." —Jennifer Egan

Awesome! Thank you! About time! The GI Bill and Higher education built the middle class - but was only for whites! A new broader bill should be a national priority. Studies show Americans are woefully under educated.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

He linger Report: under Republican deal to avert default, more work rules are being added to SNAP and other benefits. Advocates say that these types of restrictions are deterring Americans from going to college &getting higher-wages. Sad fact abt Repubs holding low-income back.

@PatriciaFahy109 Brava! Assembly Member Fahy! Formerly incarcerated people who have paid their debt to society deserve a chance to rebuild their lives.

Tell Pres Biden not to balance our budget on the backs of the poor. If he wants to cut big bucks he should look at corporate welfare and subsidies -twice as big as social welfare. https://t.co/19bOprlTOL
