Interesting watching peripheral Trumpworld figures screaming about how vitally important the protection of the integrity of the election is and how the future of the Republic relies on the legal fight ahead while the man at the centre of it spends two days playing golf.

Love this. So helpful.
Showing red vs. blue maps leads people to see America as more divided—and judge people more by their state's stereotypes. Data: purple maps of state proportions are more accurate, and reduce perceived polarization and stereotypes. spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.co… purplestatesofamerica.org

This whole thread is brilliant. A Kenyan journalist covering the American elections using the same language American media uses to cover elections in African countries
#BREAKING Polls are set to open in 48 hours across the US as the authoritarian regime of Donald Trump attempts to consolidate its hold over the troubled, oil-rich, nuclear-armed, north American nation. Analysts are sceptical the election will end months of political violence.

What matters most is that once we finally #CountEveryVote, we'll be rescued from an unstable, unfit autocrat-wannabe. But we're left with the unfathomable horror that 66 million Americans heard his lies, boasts, & threats (as covid deaths mount) and said, "More of that, please!"

We can no longer exploit the resources of this earth—the trees, the water, and other natural resources—without any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we won’t survive. This Earth Day let’s resolve to live in harmony with nature.

Positive Education must ensure enough bad experiences for rapid learning and strengthening. Not about making life easy, about ensuring kids have the skills to deal with the world. Thought-provoking presentation from @JonHaidt #wcpp2019
