Full Text of the U.S. Constitution Read and share the complete text of the United States Constitution.

“Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” ~Abraham Lincoln

If other sections magically disappear and reappear due to “coding errors,” this is a great resource as well. 🤓

Paranoia

is a blur of buildings
tennis courts
fenced on your left
sky that day
was a uniform grey
rain falling fast
tiny glistening eyes
watching me like spies
from all over my coat
and as if that wasn't
enough to encourage
the fact
I'd already discovered
I was wearing odd socks

Prevent child heatstroke deaths. A child can die from heatstroke in minutes.

From NHTSA: A sweltering heat wave is affecting millions of Americans this week. 🔥🌡️ Protect yourself and your child in the back seat! It's NEVER safe to leave them alone in a vehicle.

This is how quickly a car heats up.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

"I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me ... and my blood is part of the sea. There is not any part of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surfaces of the water."
~ D.H. Lawrence

Cells lining your skin and organs can generate electricity when injured − potentially opening new doors to treating wounds Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But researchers discovered they can produce electrical signals like neurons.
