Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

We need to get back to reading and critical thinking

Because 2024 feels different from 2016.

Happy No Kings march day! Stay safe out there today. Unfortunately have to sit this one out because of current chronic pain flare up but I look forward to all your photos on the feed!

🙏🫶 I hadn't logged on here in over a month! As usual, a struggle to balance how much of this firehose to take in 😕

"Kids do stupid things."
No JD. Those weren't kids in that chat. And most kids I know don't say or text vile racist shit.
Know what else? No one is surprised. This just exposes them for what we've already known.
But go ahead and threaten universities over antisemitism. It never was about that.

It's all a distraction from those files

The fact that an influencer gets the American flag flown at half-staff while an elected government official does not is a pretty accurate snapshot of America right now.

I'm not shedding any tears for this guy but we don't need an American martyr for the conservative right. Also, feel for the students who witnessed this.

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Sep 10

This is an absolute shit show of a day in America. I don't wish gun violence on anyone, not even that guy. Who do we want to be as a country? Not this.

My cousin was recruited to work for one of the shipbuilding companies. Moved to Seoul for the year with the idea that he would lead the US buildout. Yeah...I don't know, we'll see.

Right, and MAGA is celebrating because they think Hyundai "stole"475 jobs that should have gone to Americans. More like, they lost 8000 jobs if Hyundai pulls out.

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Sep 7

This is just going to stoke more anti-American sentiment in S.Korea, who is supposed to be our ally.

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Sep 7

This is so incredibly moronic. Now 8000 American jobs are likely lost, just to what...fill an ICE quota?

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Sep 7

Companies should really go to Canada. We don't deserve it here.

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Sep 7

This is just going to erode trust from the S. Korean govt after pledging $150B investments in the US. Why would any company want to build here. He wants to bring manufacturing to the US but then pulls this shit where workers are chained & shackled? They should pull out—foreign employees are at risk.

US Hyundai raid: South Korea vows support for citizens detained by ICE

US immigration officials detained 475 workers on Thursday - most of them South Korean nationals - saying they were working illegally.

It's by design. Found a livestream on Rep Ro Khanna channel www.youtube.com/live/q6fUosr...

I did not know that survivors of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are speaking out today until I read Jenna's piece here. Spotlight needs to be solely on them until the Trump administration quits being cowardly and releases everything relevant to the investigation.

It's disappointing that this is not more widespread. Didn't see a mention of it in WaPo or the Times emails this morning either.

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Sep 3

Today, I stand with the Epstein survivors.
We need to listen to these women. We need to believe them. Not Ghislaine Maxwell, not Speaker Johnson or Nancy Mace, and not the president. They've been silenced for decades and need our support as they stand at the Capital steps and tell their stories.

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Aug 27

SO awful. I hope all of those kids injured pull through.

In America, we don't protect our children. Not from pedophiles or rapists, and not from guns.

Today, Minneapolis, and the school year has just begun.💔

Oh god, what does this look like on a banner, or on white?

Jenna Park @jennapark.bsky.social · Aug 18

ok, I actually didn't realize that MS NOW is the acronym to My source, news, opinions, world

Or during one of their meetings. looks like a design by committee situation.
