Molly will be visiting the lands of the Lenape, Klamath, Shoshone Bannock, Diné, and Native Hawaiian in the coming days! Pumped for the respective communities Molly visits, and everyone who gets to learn more about them.

Watch them on the PBS KIDS app now or see when they air nationally near you.

I feel like boomers think about how good they had it and take credit for it. And they made a point of hoarding that good. But as a millennial, it’s been pretty horrific to have a glimpse of how much better a lot things used to be as well as an acute awareness of the decline.

Thank you for this conversation, @peaseroland.bsky.social, and for the years of thoughtful, accessible programming. Science in Action will be deeply missed.

the richest nation on the planet and the only one in its economic place to not offer paid family leave.

a system that favors undisclosed corporate backing of an incumbent gerontocracy. one that attempts to sell off public lands to the highest bidder in the name of economic power. a generation of public school teachers and students trained to hide under desks. what is that if not institutional erosion?

some examples of institutional "crumbling," if we define it by ex: systemic and longitudinal refusals to adequately resource public programs including health care, child care, maternal care; failures to meet obligations of laws like VRA, SDWA, etc; extralegal RIFs and privatizing of public services.

And if there aren’t any community meetings, it would be a GREAT opportunity to meet like-minded individuals you can organize a meeting with. Doesn’t have to be big.
