Some facts about the Ten Commandments that Louisiana really should have looked up before forcing public schools to display them in classrooms. A thread.🧵

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.

I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

@Actthiswell @georgehahn In the article the pest control worker says that the rats learn about the traps and then adapt to avoid them. They also teach their offspring to do the same. Traps only work for a limited time.

Birds do it. Bees do it. Learning about the astounding navigational feats of wild creatures can teach us a lot about where we’re going. https://t.co/ppqFYpR1kZ

This is the best analysis of what happened with Afghanistan that I've seen. I urge everyone to read it. Yes -- Trump "set up" Biden, and he had help.

I have decided not to fix the leak next to my part of the dam. This is a very private and personal choice I have made. What do you care what I do? You fixed your part of the dam. You’re safe.

anyway I’m signing a law that forces your kids to go to school next to the dam

Roland, court minstrel to 12th century English king Henry II, probably had many talents. But history has recorded only one. https://t.co/0yzQaUpFhO

Funny how people always say “avoid that like the plague” and then the plague shows up and millions of people do very little to avoid it.

There’s an apocalyptic comet of endemic urban violence speeding our way.

Both the GOP and the Dems think defusing the violence puts themselves at a competitive disadvantage this Nov.

Both parties are sowing the wind.

And both will reap the whirlwind.
