If anyone wants to think about something more positive than the election, here's a site that describes the effects of a meteor impact with any parameters you pick. My students have to find the biggest impactor that could hit Lake Michigan without cancelling class:

They're trying to scare people into shutting up. PLEASE don't ever shut up, friends. Normalize saying NO to bigotry and fascism.
Here's an example of a news org framing things in a misleading way. The article very precisely notes she lost 4083 followers but does not mention that her accounts have 5.6 MILLION followers combined. She's lost 0.073% of her following. I think she'll be fine. www.newsweek.com/alex-cooper-...

This guy's plan would cause the average Disney villain to step back and say, "Hang on. This sounds way too evil, and also very stupid."
The more you read in this article, the more you realize that he’s basically a 12 year old building an imaginary world in his bedroom. It’s just a complete childish fantasy of exclusion and retribution. If we ever let these guys (and there’re pretty much all guys) actually run cities, we are doomed.

“When politicians talk about how much it will cost to act on climate change, for example, they almost always refer to economic models commissioned by the fossil fuel industry, which leave out the cost of inaction, which rises with every passing year.”

49% of us were born closer to the boomers than the millennials and thus feel invested in fascism. 39% got repeatedly wiped out by recessions and are very tired. 12% have been stoned since 1989 and have no idea what's going on.
