We need to be like Finland
Teach our children!

What we want our students to do is … before they like or share in the social media they think twice – who has written this? Where has it been published? Can I find the same information from another source?

Unionized Starbucks workers across the country are on strike over the corporation's failure to engage in collective bargaining talks.

Starbucks' record of union-busting is unlike anything I've ever seen. That's why I've been boycotting.

There you have it. Elon Musk enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany, which also happens to be the most pro-Russian political party in Europe.

I LOVE this essay by @patrickfreyne.bsky.social and agree with it all. (Personally i will be ditching my ridiculously brilliant, productive friends and finding some lazy losers instead) www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.

Politico is reporting that Ric Grenell offered MAGA influencers five-figure contracts to promote him on social media for Sec of State. I went back and looked and found a bunch within a 3-day window. Here are a few.

Oligarchy, a dire threat to humanity’s potential, casts a grotesque shadow over the possibility of a future marked by progress, equality, and shared prosperity—an ideal famously envisioned in the Star Trek universe. Indeed, it threatens to plunge us into a dystopian nightmare.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.

There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.

It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

We shouldn’t celebrate that “as many” as six Republicans might vote against Hegseth.

We should condemn the fact that at least 47 Republicans are still willing to confirm a drunk weekend news host who raped a woman and who his own mother called an abuser.
