Gen Z Voters - "the most progressive generation ever"
And yes - "they're pretty great" ❤️

“Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation ever studied.”

Important work from @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social that offers a clear explanation of why there is an intense push to change school curricula to make them more white supremacist

The Shocking Truth About Gen Z Voters Is That They’re Pretty Great
Stop panicking: They are the most progressive generation ever, especially on race. If that surprises you, you’ve been listening to the wrong story.

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Temperatures are getting much lower. So snow and ice are surrounding me. But that doesn’t hold me back witnessing a beautiful #sunset in the mountains. So freezing fingers make me feel alive. 😁

The Netherlands is investing €1 billion in cycling infrastructure to connect hundreds of thousands of new homes nationwide. These funds will build bike highways and improve bike-train intermodality, enabling residents to access jobs, healthcare and education without being locked into car dependency.

🪬🧿 Coffee this way --> I hope you all have lovely week :)

#fox #wolf #coffee #cartoon #wander #lost #signpost #illustration #whimsical #adventure #alttext
A cartoon drawing depicts a black fox or wolf sitting under a tree, next to a wooden signpost. The fox is holding a paper coffee cup. The signpost has two signs; the top one reads, "NOT ALL WHO WONDER ARE LOST." with an arrow pointing to the right. The bottom sign reads, "SOME ARE LOOKING FOR COFFEE." with an arrow also pointing to the right. The background shows trees and hills under a blue sky with white clouds.
