We tend to think book lovers contribute nothing to society, but it was Madeleine L'Engle who said, "The first people a dictator puts in jail are the writers, the teachers, the librarians-because these people are dangerous. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people."

Companies should be required to explain why they canโt pay living wages, and why taxpayers need to subsidize their profits when they force their employees to rely on SNAP.

Nearly 1 in 10 terrorism investigations at CSIS involves a minor: spy boss | CBC News
The head of Canadaโs spy agency is warning about a โworryingโ number of young people becoming radicalized.
We need to follow Finland's lead in teaching our children how to recognize mis/disinformation and propaganda.
We also need to seriously look at upgrading our education, as European countries have.

How to Make Active Shooter Drills Less Traumatizing
Research shows there are best practices for how to prepare students for active shooters in schools.
โWe should be calling for our elected officials to use the tools that we know work to render these drills obsolete. The burdens we are putting on our schools and our kids to prepare for the potential of this kind of violence is, frankly, unacceptable.โ - Sonali Rajan, our senior director of research

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

Absolute malpractice by the sandwich jury if they do not demand reenactments, varying the sandwich trajectory, bread, meats and condiments.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, your decision today hinges on a very simple question that goes right to the soul of what America is all about: should a man be allowed, out of the goodness of his heart, to give a delicious sandwich to a member of our law enforcement community?

Empathy is the most overlooked force in politics. I advocate replacing confrontation and prejudice with understanding and respect, making policy more humane rather than a cold, statistical exercise.
Hey, nice to find this new platform Jack & co built! Follow if ya like. I'm not a cat. I love life, music, Baille & plants. I don't know much, but human rights are inherent. Having democracy was nice. What if we pulled together for good things.
