Before anyone brings up civics class: it still exists, students still sleep through it, and these are virtually the same figures as for older generations.

The only problem that I'll say about the source from Cato Institute is the vague wording? For example "Who has the final say?" It should have been read as "Who has the final say on what the law and Constitution mean"

And the final question is Who was the first president? The first president of the United States was George Washington.

Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
The sixth question is How many branches of government are there? There are three branches: The Legislative branch, The Judicial branch, and the Executive branch.

Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
The fifth question is From which country did we declare independence? I'd go with Great Britain. We declared independence from Great Britain

What does America's 250th commemorate?, is the fourth question I'd go with it commemorates the Declaration of Independence in the year of 1776, and the founding of the United States (Fun fact: it is also known as the Semiquincentennial)

Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
The third question is what is the main purpose of the U.S. Constitution? I'd go with the purpose is to establish a stronger framework, and protect the rights of the people
000
Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
The second question is: Why did we declare independence? I'd go with we declare independence to protest unfair taxes, and a lack of political representation
000
Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
The first question: Who has the final say, the president or the Supreme Court. I'd go with The Supreme Court has the final say, not the president

I see the post from Tom Nichols saying that Gen Z Americans fail to correctly answer 6 of 7 basic civics questions. I would like to challenge every single one of them.

Happy 250th Birthday, America. This country is good and great but it is not perfect; we have our orange president for God's sake. That being said, I'll have hope for America and for the midterms!

Happy Kickoff to Summer Day! Saying this because Memorial Day is a national holiday where you should never say Happy Memorial Day as it is a disrespect to our soldiers who died while serving this country.

I read the Trump's latest longest paragraph rambling and to I say, my mouth is tiring me with my pronunciation. That being said, when Trump tweets in long paragraph, that is a sign that he is not alright. And by he, I mean the President of the United States, Donald John Trump; 45-47th "president".

Sure it was overshadowed by bad news but at least this mission is a re ason to keep NASA and fund it more instead of funding cuts

The only good news that comes out of yesterday is the Artemis II space mission. That 's it. Four commanders (1 black, 1 woman, 1 American, and 1 Canadian) splashed down with a parachute after nearly 10 days of this mission. This is what makes me happy! :D

I wish our SNL counterpart (Weekend Update) could swear as much as SNL UK. It would be funnier considering that Saturday Night Live airs at 11:35pm (watershed). That would be cool if FCC could allow it; unfortunately they don't.

I should have never said it but fuck it. The entire US is on the red as temperatures are rising at an unpredictable amount; that being said it means the rest of the United States (except the small parts of blue and white) is going to be affected. Our human skin can't handle that much of heat.

I never sign up to Paramount+ and I watch him over on my local CBS Station over the air (remember that I have a Clearstream 2MAX next to my LG75UK6190PUB). When he's gone, I'll watch something else.

Now that TikTok is now sold to a U.S. company, thank god I deleted TikTok before the sale. I'll never miss this app again. Back to normalcy, long form content and more normal time; just like humans used to do.

`I'll miss John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois on CBS Evening News, at least the two were better than Tony Dokoupil taking that spot at 6:30pm. He was better if he stayed in CBS Mornings, not this one.

Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
What would it be better? If the OTA station airs independent journalists as a counterprogram to CBS Evening News with so called "journalist" Tony Dokoupil. I was thinking of a station... (WRNN-TV; after all they got Richard French Live (6-7am) with the best of progressive hosts. This is a scenario
000
Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Tony Dokoupil abandons his undershirt and become the Jim Jordan of News. Focusing on the average American, instead of experts was a bad idea for CBS. They should know better if it wasn't for Bari Weiss being the CEO.
000
Shamar Ernest @shamarmor.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Looking what what is going on with CBS Evening News? It's Tony Dokoupil taking over as the host of it claiming that the format needs to focus on "the average American", however CBS is now OTA Version of Fox News (OTA = Over The Air). CBS is now unwatchable, and it is part of the MAGA media

Incredibly brave. Imagine the faceless bores the BBC will have making their programmes if they continue down this path.

Even UNICEF is like "yo, Australia, this social media ban for kids is a terrible fucking idea." www.unicef.org/press-releas...
“Social media is not a luxury – for many children, especially those who are isolated or marginalised, it is a lifeline providing access to learning, connection, play, and self-expression. What’s more, many children and young people will still access social media, whether through workarounds, shared devices, or turning to less regulated platforms, ultimately making it harder to protect them.

‘Reforming’ or leaving the ECHR…A raising of false expectations, based on populist dishonesty. A demonisation of immigrants to mask the failures of government. Lies about sovereignty. A cynical refusal by politicians and media to tell us the truth. So very Brexit. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

‘Who’s it going to be next time?’: ECHR rethink is ‘moral retreat’, say rights experts
As 27 European countries urge changes to laws forged after second world war, human rights chief says politicians are playing into hands of populists

I have read your thread and that was the nuanced take that I ever seen. Nuanced because we have gone to the point where we cant discuss the nuance without being outnumbered by the extremists on both sides (The Right Wing Zionists and the Antisemites)

Now I believed that Zohran Mamdanj would win the mayoral race. Turns out I was right. With 50.4% of the vote, Zohran is now a mayor elect of New York City. I thought it would end close but it ended up being a happy ending. Andrew Cuomo couldn't even defeat Zohran, even with attack ads.

Day 23 of The Government Shutdown SNAP Benefits are about to be lapsed and around 42 million people will suffer from it. It would expire in one week. If this goes on, then I have to be independent, fend for myself or have to go to a food bank just to eat food.
