Every day after school, these kids have to cross 6 lanes of traffic with no shoulder, no buffer between the curb and sidewalk, no shade, and poor driver visibility. This is the world we’ve built. And we wonder why kids don’t spend time outside anymore.

1) An article in the NYT this morning explores the growing urban/rural political divide in America. The key word is divide. Oligarchs control the Republican Party in America, and the only way they can retain power is to divide Americans. Any division will do. Skin color, ...more

All the social media companies are data-mining operations whose entire business models are to keep people hypnotized and stupid. It’s just axiomatic that I would trust a Chinese company even less than the American ones, and not even trust the American ones in the first place.

Will you teach your children what we've taught our children? That the earth's our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth doesn't belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all.

Bankers get bailed out, and the biggest banks do even better.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Is it any wonder that so many see the system as rigged against them?

Is it surprising that some become susceptible to snake-oil peddled by dangerous demagogues?

I’m pretty sure it was corporate landlords buying property and raising rent…

A Republican politician in Florida who sponsored the "Don't Say Gay" bill has pleaded guilty to wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements in connection to pandemic relief fraud. Joseph Harding made up how many employees he had and submitted fake bank statements.

Nothing is real. Work isn't real. There's no sense of accomplishment in doing anything. Compensation is insufficient. Every industry is being sucked dry by private equity. Without a sense of security, humans can't make plans and without plans, people can't experience hope.

[Jason Shamblin @jasonshamblin]

@DreamSong77 People have started to view their employers as expendable assets who are only tolerated so long as their relationship is mutually beneficial

And as corporations, we find that incredibly inconvenient

Assessing a patient's knowledge about sex is so important. This country does a terrible job at educating about sexuality, and even worse at educating about pleasure. Don't take anything for granted.

Can you imagine being arrested just for wanting basic healthcare you won’t go into debt for?

The rest of the world finds it absurd. But here we are.

The Denver East High School shooter is a student who was on a behavioral plan that required him to be searched at the beginning of each school day. He shot two school administrators with a handgun this morning as they patted him down. https://t.co/btKhd7FWGO

They can do this because “corporations are people”? Do I have that right Justice Roberts?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Fed has been hellbent on raising interest rates to slow the economy, but this puts the burden of fighting inflation on workers.

To continue punishing them by increasing rates to drive unemployment, especially when America’s safety nets are in tatters, is just plain cruel.

9:52 am in #Kyiv

At night at town Rzhyshchiv, Kyiv oblast (82 km from Kyiv) two residential buildings and dormitory were hit.

Innocent people were killed again.
I don’t know what to add.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Zaporizhzhia. Right now, residential areas where ordinary people and children live are being fired at.
This must not become "just another day" in 🇺🇦 or anywhere else in the world. The world needs greater unity and determination to defeat Russian terror faster and protect lives.
