It's ok to be wrong. It's ok to not be educated about something. It's ok to say "I was wrong" It's ok to not speak and just listen. Let's normalize not always having to be right and teach people how to take accountability. These things are not inherent.

Really think that we need more basic studies in sociology, psychology, philosophy and anthropology starting in elementary school. Understanding more than your small corner of the world opens a mind up to complex ideas, critical thought and empathy, driving connection and reasoning skills.

Why are we always acting shocked?!? time.com/7259395/ai-c...

Now this, I can co-sign.

Remember the Republicans fearmongering about "Death Panels." Well, they are the ones putting together Death Panels, with draconian cuts that will kill Americans! Congress is putting tax breaks for billionaires over care for families. Stop Medicaid cuts—call 202-224-3121 now! #HandsOffOurMedicaid

1. Unemployment numbers don't tell the whole story. People "fall off" unemployment rolls when unemployment runs out, however they may not have a job. 2. Adding jobs + adding paid employees = very different things. So many jobs listed sit empty w/ employers having existing workers pick up the slack.

We might have a few less seats in Congress but we’re not going to be the minority. We’re going to be the opposition. Thanks @leximcmenamin.bsky.social & @teenvogue.com for covering. www.teenvogue.com/story/maxwel...

True.

Are we supposed to work til we die? What happens when AI takes all the jobs away from humans? If 40y.o. can't get job after being laid off, what hope does a 70y.o. have? WE NEED FINANCIAL SAFETY NETS NOW! This is not a prosperous functioning society by any means. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/02/w...

$$$ = power in a capitalistic society. Follow the money...never take your eyes off the $$$. This is all that these men care about. Don't be distracted by the noise and mess. Distraction is the name of the game in order to get the $$$.

How much $$ from all these programs that are getting cut/frozen are our tax dollars? The current Admin seems to think they have access to an unlimited piggy bank for personal enrichment, not $$$ that Americans have paid for decades. Can we just stop paying taxes until they figure out how to govern?
