Happy societies keep people home. Democracy, safety, freedom, and social services matter. Who knew?
Aid cuts abroad incentivize migration. Maybe shutting down USAID was in fact stupid.

Wow! This is doing numbers, so let us add that if you are looking for resources to teach about Civil Rights and Black History (in the US and around the world), and/or if you enjoy international award-winning films that center Black stories, we recommend our Black History Collection.
Our educational resources are all free and they can be used across the curriculum. Many of the films stream for free as well!

"We may not all be equally guilty. But we are all equally responsible for building a decent and just society."

Bluesky has a censorship problem
Servers may be decentralized, but there's only one arm for a government to twist. Sound familiar?

Bluesky has a censorship problem. In the last few weeks some Turkish and Gaza users have been blocked due to government pressure or to avoid future pressures. Right now there is an appeal signed by hundreds to #Bluesky moderation: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/114564513570490377 Let's be clear. It is not really Bluesky's fault. It's a centralized platform controlled by a US corporation and has no choice but to accede to political pressures. Truly decentralized, public social media is the only defensible solution.
