Someone tells you something's a good idea. They might even demonstrate it. It seems to make sense. Or does it? This question - that's critical thinking. When we don't just believe things, but start thinking ourselves. If needs be, research. Test it. And make up our own minds.
#GoodMorning, everyone.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 97 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

A 450-yo oak is felled without permission by a Toby Carvery (don’t eat there), who falsely claimed it was "dead".
A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces.
Legal protection for heritage trees needed.
