One reason that the US (and the UK presumably, I don’t even go there) doesn’t teach children universal critical thinking and critical information literacy skills is that the idea that children should be able to evaluate or dissent from the lies of adults in society is politically contested.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast.
This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

When your brand is unlikeable feckless losers who don’t exercise power when they have it and won’t retire when they should, I can see why a win for a charismatic guy who actually likes his constituents would be a threat.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

One of the main reasons Liberals hate Marxists is because we tend to be right, but too early to be convenient.
Alarm bells exist to warn of the first signs of fire, not to toll in mourning of a home reduced to embers.

Here's what the new co-owner of TikTok US and existing co-owner of the Tony Blair Institute (the 'let's do digital ID' guys) had to say this time last year.
This is who's dictating and planning to profit from mandatory government digital ID, starting with immigrants and expanding to everyone else.

This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America.
The problem is not that America lacks abundance.
The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding America’s abundance.
