Growing up without cable enabled me to watch PBS Kids channel.

Zoom show on PBS had special on the day after 9/11. Catered to helping kids process it.

These shows enabled passion for STEM in this rural kid.

Every podcast should have these miners , the mayor of the town and others from the area on their podcasts and shows. Trumps name should never be mentioned. They know who caused it.
I would love to hear what they feel needs to happen next and how to get there. Not what politicians think

Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

What lies beneath the alpine lakes of #Alaska?
Crystal-clear waters and surreal colors create an otherworldly scene. These lakes stay clean and untouched thanks to the cold temperatures and little human activity.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.
