@PGrieshammer @MagicPig @jackdaleydc @paulkrugman The US founding was actually based - not solely on individual rights and capitalism - but rather on the notion that those rights and obligations were to benefit the larger community.

@JacksonParish That is a misunderstanding. Modernists prefer architecture that is a reflection of its place and time. Traditionalists have no allegiance to time or place.

Ever wished you had a guide to fixing those pesky, common espresso mistakes like a shot pulling too fast or too slow? Look no further than AJ's new video!

@JenniferJJacobs @maggieNYT Now we know why Trump wanted to abandon longstanding water saving requirements for toilets.

But surely this won’t be happening in South Carolina in about two weeks…

[AGU (American Geophysical Union) @theAGU]

The study is the first to show that the trend, documented in some major cities, is widespread, even in small towns. Read the full story. (5/5)👉https://t.co/LFofjdjbFD

These racial disparities exist because non-white neighborhoods tend to be more densely 🏙️ built with structures and pavement that trap heat and have fewer 🌳 trees. (2/5)

What would our cities look like without trees? Trees in Houston save residents an average of $35/year in energy and healthcare costs! Explore more stewardship values and stories in our #StewardshipDashboard at https://t.co/XK1Lzy1B2F.

[Next City @NextCityOrg]

Foundations represent more than $1 trillion in invested assets, yet are required to give away only 5% of their assets to charity every year. What are they doing with the other 95%?

A humbling Herman Cain/coronavirus timeline:

6/24: Attends Trump rally, maskless
7/2: Tests positive for Covid-19
7/10: Says he’s improving
7/15: Says his doctors seem happy
7/27: Says he’s really getting better
7/30: Dies

“No I’m sorry, you go ahead.”

“No please you.”

“No I cut you off.”

“No I cut YOU off!”

“Okay if you insist...”

“I do!”

.@ProjectLincoln I think South Carolina deserves a US Senator who want to serve her people. Lindsey Graham is the type of guy who stabs the memory of his “best friend in the back”. He can’t be trusted.

Pointing out the obvious, yet again @paulkrugman makes us feel like we are in a BAD horror movie. Would someone please turn on the lights?

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Other advanced countries have contained Covid-19. We could have too, but failed because of terrible leadership. But rather than asking what we did wrong, Navarro sees a dastardly foreign conspiracy. This should be shocking, but it's the norm for this gang.

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Another thought on Arizona's numbers: AZ, with 7 million people, is reporting as many new cases per day as the European Union, with 446 million.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

We can’t keep waiting for the Government to catch up with the rest of the world. If we’re to prevent a second wave of infections in London, we urgently need them to make face coverings mandatory in all enclosed public spaces. https://t.co/58ACozXFPs

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Trump obviously has no idea what words like facism and totalitarianism mean. To those who wrote that speech, shame on you. To those that cleared on this speech, shame on you. Perhaps the most un- American speech ever delivered by an American president, on the eve of July 4th.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Your reminder that fifteen states now spend $27,000 more per person in prison than they do per student.
