Also, I find that countries with far LOWER religiosity than the US (e.g., Canada, Sweden, Germany, and Japan) consider their neighbors to be far more "good" than Americans do.
Maybe faith isn't the ticket to morality that some like to claim.
If there was ever a doubt that the US is headed in the wrong direction, this piece of data should eliminate it. At-your-throat politics, barely regulated capitalism, and the demonization of every group under the sun makes for a toxic culture indeed.

"[To keep our temp rise] within 1.5°C... Earth's safe limit for annual CO₂ emissions is... 4–17 gigatons (Gt CO₂ per year). However, [our] current annual emissions [equal] 37 gigatons (Gt CO₂ per year). This level exceeds Earth's safe operating space by more than twofold."

the_thinking_great_ape You know what WON'T get stuck in the Strait of Hormuz? Sunlight and solar panels. @nickofnz
I hate this timeline so much.
Right?? Wind, solar, geothermal & hydro are all locally produced and 100% carbon-free.
My employer - a public university - has banned the use of @anthropic.com's #Claude AI due to Trump's DOD / National Security directive.
This - attacking org'ns & violating federal policies & norms - is what happens when you tell this egomaniac he can't do just whatever he wants. He's so pathetic.
This is insane. However, no one, and I mean NO ONE should be surprised by any of this.
A lot of us have been saying for a while that this was their goal.
But folks ignored the warnings for "reasons."😒
Thankfully we can maintain concern over multiple things at once...a necessity with this administration.
Another thing I find troubling about waging war on #Iran is that we don't yet have the complete #EpsteinFiles released.
These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
Got some professors harassed and threatened, maybe a couple fired?
Oh, you said _for_ education...sorry...I thought you said _to_ education.
Simply grotesque.
His 15 minutes is almost over. I feel pretty confident about that.
Yet another sign intellectualism is on the decline in America. Sure, it might not have been great reading, but at least it was reading. Today, instead, it's hours of scrolling insipid videos, which does not engage the mind to the same degree.

"Differences also emerge by education, with college graduates more likely to support legal abortion than those without a college degree. More women than men support abortion access, although the difference is relatively minor – 64% of women, 61% of men."
"About 85% of those who lean Democratic say abortion should be legal in most cases, according to Pew, compared with about 41% of those who lean Republican."
"Support for abortion does vary by religion, age, education level, political views and gender. 86%of religiously unaffiliated Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared with 25% of white evangelical Protestants, for example."

Is it just me, or has the name of DHS -- the Department of Homeland Security -- always sat wrong with you?
The term "homeland" when used by a government just smacks of nationalism, which I find distasteful at best.

Trump's economic program has failed. Let's review some data in a thread.
First, his job growth record in BOTH his first and second terms is the worst of any President since Hoover. 1/
Again and again, both history and research show that the only viable form of capitalism is *effectively regulated* capitalism.
Oh, also effectively policed capitalists...as some are eager to skirt those regulations thru fraud and other illegal practices.

An NPR investigation found that the DOJ withheld some Epstein files related to abuse allegations against Trump. And, what you need to know ahead of the president's State of the Union address tonight. n.pr/4aT95Eh
"Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor."
I'm not sure why people are surprised that an overtly racist and convicted felon POTUS, who routinely flouts both the law & the traditions of his post, would direct a federal police force to ignore the law & judges' orders to systematically violate the Constitutional rights of non-white immigrants.
