Look at what happened to divorce rates in Mexico when some areas extended the school day by 3.5 hours!
Why did divorce rates go up as a result of the change?
"The availability of childcare...translate[d] into increased bargaining power and economic independence for women."

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released a draft standard requiring masks (like N95s) in health care settings to stop airborne infections.
There is a strong attempt to push back against this, so need your public comments to get this through: publicreview.csa.ca/Home/View/22...

once again encouraging you all to support local, worker run, and/or billionaire-free news
All of the major media organizations over the last decade have been systematically bought up by oligarchs, dismantled, and turned into propaganda organs benefiting the oligarchs. This was not by accident, this was a concerted effort to exercise more control over US society.

The notion that reading a shooter’s statement will cause people to snap to attention and become homicidal maniacs, like some kind of Manchurian Agent trigger word, is media paternalism at its worst.

Sheriffs often play a huge role in helping carry out deportations, whether it's being deputized as a deportation agent, turning people over to ICE, using county jail for immigration detention, and more.

A little-noticed provision tucked into the $895 billion defense bill would bar the Pentagon from citing the Gaza Health Ministry as an authoritative source.
Congress Keeps Trying to Hide the True Gaza Death Toll
Tucked into a $895 billion Pentagon bill is a little-noticed provision to further conceal the death toll in Gaza — the latest effort by U.S. policymakers to cast doubt on casualty figures reported by Palestinian health officials.

Who made this graph? Because the police budget line should be 14 TIMES LONGER than the second-highest line item, housing support, at $2.9

the Adults in the Room keep telling me we need to put as much money as possible into the police in order to reduce crime but the police themselves don’t seem to really give a shit about solving any crime whatsoever
