@msignorile.bsky.social American adults who are unable to name the 3 branches of government is down to 65%. If 35% of American adults were homeless or hungry it would be the biggest crisis in history. The number of uninformed Americans parallels the percent of non-voters.

25% of adults surveyed believe that social media platforms are constrained from deplatforming someone under 1st Amend "Free Speech" guarantees. That's incorrect. Social media are businesses & are not obligated to respect free speech. BIG however...tue Gov't cannot threaten ABC, or social media

One-third of American adults cannot name the 3 branches of government. Only 7% can name the 5 rights of the 1st Amendment. So how can they understand injustice when they don't fully understand what justice is supposed to be.

A lot of Gerrymandering talk recently. What is it and why should you care? Gerrymandering is redrawing maps in a way which changes election outcomes. In a democracy we should want elections to reflect the public's opinions. Gerrymandering can make government ignore some voters in favor of others
4 examples of how gerrymandering can change election outcomes. If a population is divided 60% to 40% gerrymandering can change district maps so the government is divided as the population is, or can even give the 40% minority a majority of Representatives.

People are asking "What's the point of a Constitution if it's not working as intended?"... The Constitution is the guide. It's up to the leaders AND people of the republic to have the information & integrity to enforce it. It works if you make your voice heard! #impeachment #25th #civics

Elections, under the Constitution, are one of the few things which are controlled by the states. It's essential for democracy that the people are able to freely choose their representatives. State control of elections should not be partisan, it's foundational to our nation.

The 4th Amendment prohibits "unreasonable search and seizure" If you don't have a right to privacy in your medical records then the government can cancel the benefits you earned your whole life, or divide communities based on health conditions.

Plutarch (Greek & Roman historian) described how the Spartans limited civic education to maintain social control over the young: "Reading & writing they gave them, just enough to serve their turn; their chief care was to make them good subjects, & to teach them to endure pain & conquer in battle."

Civics has been severely underfunded for 50 years. It was thought to be more important to win the Cold War through technology. We have 50 years of voters who don't understand their government. This needs fixing!

Serve on city, county or school board commissions! The planning and zoning commissions, for example, advise elected officials on managing growth, development and land use. Search for "Boards and Commissions" and your state county, or city name. #civics

If 1st Amendment rights are limited, then all rights can be limited. Just as the 2md Amendment says "shall not be infringed" The 1st Amendment says "Congress shall make no law"

The 1st Amendment states "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" Seems like qualified immunity would fall under the plain text of the Constitution even though qualified immunity is an invention of the Courts.

We don't talk about due process like we used to. Example: this is from "Incredible Hulk" 305 in Feb 1985. Teens & Young Adults absorbed this in pop culture. We don't have that anymore.

Prices are usually set through a system of supply & demand. However, with a small number of large sellers in a market prices will often in spite of market conditions. While we're seeing a slightly decreased supply, & the oil wholesalers are pricing based on uncertainty more than supply.

There are so many civics questions every day. It's important that Americans are educated on the basics prior to the questions of the day so that the current event can be discussed without spending time on the underlying system. What questions do you have about the systems which govern our lives?

CBS is perfectly within their rights to choose which content to show, and which they don't. HOWEVER, making these choices based on pressure from the government is unconstitutional. The government does not get to use its power to influence what we see. #civics #1stamendment

The Texas Election results are emblematic of the current trend of districts being flipped against a president's party. This time is different due to the magnitude of the flip. It's a product of the 2 party system where only 2 viable choices can create decisive swings.

There's a lot to say about the tragic Renee Good shooting. But this is the most basic: We are a nation of laws for everyone, or we are not a nation of laws. If an officer is able to be judge, jury, and executioner with "absolute immunity" then no one has rights. Our Nation requires restraint.
