We're in a moment of political change. This change often brings with it a reinterpretation of our democratic values. Those values originate with The U.S. Constitution and its 27 amendments. The words in these documents are the foundations of our democracy and the promises made are powerful, like the right to free speech, the right of the people to keep and bear arms and the promise that a person cannot be tried twice for the same crime. But what do these words really guarantee, especially as they are reinterpreted time and again as the world changes? Throughline, NPR's history podcast, has been exploring the long, fraught history of America's constitutional amendments in a series called "We the People" and in this episode they bring us some of the stories they've uncovered in their reporting.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Yeah, I left Twitter a while ago because the quality of suggested posts dropped a ton and sometimes I'd see the same posts multiple times. I think others are just getting caught up.
It's Persian gulf!
This one is just plain weird.
It wasn't antisemitic, it was against racism! Just look at what Israelis shouted and did before the happening...

How fortunate for Israelis that they are even able to leave.
I just couldn't even finish listening to this, it made me so angry. "Dude, man up. Can't afford to have a kid? Sell your gaming equipment." What an ignorant, sanctimonious moron. Because obviously that's the answer. And for those who don't play video games or where birth control failed? Is that what should be said to them? Shame on these people. Using their religion to cast aspersion on others. I'm sure Jesus is well-pleased with their judgment of others.
jobs report was BS. mostly government jobs at taxpayers expense. the rest part time minimum wage.. you people need to do your homework before posting such nonsense.
