This is so absurd. Reading, math, and problem-solving using books and "old-fashioned" methods (you know, the ones on which millions of Americans were trained for 100s of years) trains your brain in different ways. We are so driven by what lobbyist wants what, we don't stop to think what we NEED.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations β€œscrewed up” giving students access to so much technology: β€œI genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Maine ICE observers sue, say agents threatened to add them to a database of domestic terrorists Maine residents Elinor Hilton and Colleen Fagan say they were observing immigration officials when the agents started to record them.

Mainers sue Homeland security for putting them on a domestic terrorist watchlist & violating their first amendment rights.

β€œI will not let myself be threatened or silenced for filming ICE.” - Colleen Fagan.

Way to fight back!

And btw… in a huge hockey fan. I’m glad for both teams, but the women are no less than the men. Maybe we should have a game between the two.

Nice. US women’s hockey team won a gold metal in overtime at the Olympics. The men’s team also want a gold medal in a nailbiter game.

But leave it to Trump and Kash Patel to publicly minimize the women’s hockey team guffawing with the men’s hockey team

This young woman is talking about the fatal shooting IN THE BACK, WHILE HE WAS FACE DOWN ON THE GROUND W/A POLICE K-9 ON TOP OF HIM, of a Black man who had been riding a bike. Whenever I hear police yelling "DROP THE GUN" at someone they have face down, I know they are creating a set up.

Honestly, this young girl is a born leader and she gives me so much hope. This much poise in a 13-year old is amazing.

Reading this quickly (coming back to it later) it appears they quote all AIPAC-type Dems, such as a "former advisor to B-berg." I have no doubt this is both planted and a story line we will see, bc they can't come to grips w/the fact that the majority of the party no longer supports what we fund.

Massive crowds continue to organize daily

A country whose population refuses to surrender has entered its 450th day of uninterrupted mass protests nationwide, rejecting the stolen election.

Georgia doesn’t flinch or surrender when faced with a corrupt government that serves billionaires and Russia. #3E

And the clothing is so small that girls starve themselves to fit in.

The reporter who first uncovered all of this did a fantastic job.

I am not innocent of buying too much in my life, but I have stopped. But we need a social ethic that says this is wrong and it is burying all of us.

There's slave labor used to produce this volume of cheap clothing, and widespread human rights abuses. Some of the store workers in the U.S. were raped by the owners.

Women in Ghana are forced to carry 150 pound sacks of used clothes forced on them by the US and EU on their heads.

So-called fast fashion sold in the U.S. market is literally polluting cities and the oceans in sub-Saharan Africa. This company was also grossly antisemitic. white supremacist, racist, and misogynistic. They only hired very thin white girls to work "in the front."

I'm watching "Brandy Hellville: the Cult of Fast Fashion, about the company Brandy Melville. And just like the doc, "Buy Now" about Amazon, I am truly revolted by how much waste Americans create just to have more shit, and then force it on poorer countries, threatening them if they won't take it.

Shout out to the guy in SeaTac airport this morning filling like 6 water bottles while telling his son, "We've gotta stock up. The water doesn't taste the same in Arizona."
