Data Literacy lesson.

Review the labeled x-axis (the horizontal line). What is being compared?

Review the labeled y-axis (the vertical line). What is the metric? What is the unit?

What is the change in production between 2024 and 2025?

Why might the y-axis be set up the way it is?

"Slavery was real"

Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington.

Presidents House, Philadelphia.

“We have been in direct contact with the hotel, and they have apologized for the actions of their team..."

"I have been in direct contact with all my family and friends, and we apologize for ever staying in a Hilton and will never do it again."

Can we officially start applying for political asylum in other countries yet?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

@jtinaustin.bsky.social Congratulations! What an amazing celebration! Love you both!

Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Today marks 80 years since the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima—the first use of such a weapon in history.
As the only country to have suffered a nuclear attack, Japan has a vital role in building a world without nuclear weapons.
Let us pause to remember the victims and pray for lasting peace.

Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
