"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

The fentanyl crisis in the US is a direct result of addiction, overprescription & insufficient primary prevention + homelessness & our inability to care for one another (e.g. using fentanyl to self-medicate). Raising the price of US consumer goods will push more people towards addiction

6.6 million people aged 16 to 65 have poor or no literacy skills. Educational funding may be decreasing, but the demand is not. Reading is a vital skill and the WEA is essential for tackling this. We hope the government considers these stats for the Spending Review. #literacyskills #wea

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.

Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.

We must stop him.
