  5. Voting for President Biden is actually not a low standard. His legislative record is amazing, comparable to FDR and LBJ. No, Biden is not perfect, but he clearly knows how to get legislation across the finish line, something that not all presidents can do, especially with tight margins. Biden would look like a better president if the Israeli electorate had completely eliminated Netanyahu. Israelis did vote out Netanyahu, but he bounced back in a parliamentary coalition. Again, similar to LBJ who would look very different without Vietnam. If we toss out a president who is as productive as Biden, just because we want soneone young and cute? Really? We will regret that. FDR was old and disabled, but an awesome president. And FDR wasn't perfect either. 🗽

  6. I hope it was Mike! And I hope they got those lobsters back into the water ASAP. No lobsters were harmed in the making of this SCOTUS? BTW because we all know it is 2024, make sure you vote! Make your voting plans now! 💙🌊🐬💙🌊 Up and down the ballot to rebalance gerrymandered state legislatures and appoint better judges. 💙🦞💙

  7. No, it is absolutely possible to learn from the lessons of history. We don't have to just repeat the same horrors generation after generation. Nope. That's just the people who haven't paid attention to their social studies teachers, because ..."Hey aren't all these people dead? Who cares." Plus remember that some states have dismantled the history curriculum, so.... Also, approximately 2000 we started using standardized testing for reading and math, so that necessarily prioritized math/reading instruction plus test prep over other subjects. History and science started to take a back seat. STEM instruction tried to revive science, but the COVID crisis shows you how well that went in some states. History instruction and a return to civics needs to be a priority, like a SPUTNIK initiative. And structurally, remember that education is the responsibility of the states, with the federal Department of Education merely making strong suggestions with the carrot of funding, Without a true national education system, it is very hard make sure that we all learn the same stuff. It is like the definition of an uneven playing field. SPUTNIK level civics and history. Let's recognize the problem, and take action. 🗽

  8. John Oliver, please do a show on the 1930s. The parallels are getting too weird. Don't know how you are going to work in the jokes, but... Please get the story out there as often as possible. We don't want to live in the 1930s. Btw, the pumpkin head's idea with the tariffs is almost exactly what set off a global depression in the 1930s.

  9. I'm so sad. "And Tango makes three" is such a sweet book. I remember reading that book with my daughter. Also, discrimination against the Central Park Zoo is mean, so back off Florida crazy man and angry school board people. 🐧🗽🐧

  10.  Tin Watchman  For 20 years, women went to work and girls went to school. That's not nothing. Some of these women are protesting still with courageous hearts that absolutely amaze me. Also, educated women put up with less nonsense. And when the hand that rocks the cradle is educated, that creates more change in the next generation. Where is the action from the international community to support these amazing women and girls?🗽

  11. I am fairly certain that the school lunch program is connected to the Farm Bill. So if Speaker Johnson and the GOP House is messing with the Farm Bill, yikes! No one wants to go back to the 1930s.

  12. ​ @Zulwind  Thank you! The GOP only has to lose one more time, hopefully in spectacular fashion, for them to wake up. This guy is not a true republican anyway. The GOP is like a really bad baseball team that hasn't yet figured out that they need to clean house and rebuild from the farm clubs all the way up. It's always darkest before dawn (sorry I should have come up with something better, but...). No bright shiny objects, stay the course, and VOTE. When we vote in large numbers we win. That's why the GOP works so hard on restrictions to voter access. Vote. We're on almost there. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

  13.  @sirraident  Your feedback is important to hear. And among goals achieved, didn't even mention that for 20 years girls went to school and women went to work. Many of those young women are still protesting. The warrior hearts of the women of Afghanistan amaze me every day, and I am absolutely disgusted that the world feels comfortable forgetting these young women now that they have fallen out of the daily news cycle. I am so glad to hear that your mission was meaningful, and I fervently hope that there is some other meaningful mission that some group is planning now that can support Afghan women so that they can study and feed their children. I hope. Thanks again, be well.

  14.  @GusCraft460  You are correct. All history counts because all history contains lessons that humanity can find useful in the present day. Think of how many times world war two and NATO have been referred to while grappling with the very current conflict in Ukraine.

  15.  @GusCraft460  absolutely, although t****p certainly tried to make NATO into "history" because of his vocal opposition. I'm just trying to refute that events from 70 years ago do not matter to our future. I hope women and girls in Afghanistan can enjoy something better in the future, and I hope the Afghan diaspora, the international community, the global humanitarian sector, NATO veterans who came to appreciate the Afghan people during their deployments, even the United Nations (another product of 70 years ago) these amazing women deserve support, they deserve to live and to dream of something better.

  16. The pumpkin head is a felon. He cannot possess a gun. He cannot pass a security clearance. Yet he would command our military? Just how does that work, especially because he doesn't have the clearance to review the documents. Vote carefully everyone. ⚖️💙🌊💙🌊🗽
