I've been thinking a lot recently about the concept of "Civic Duty." What is our responsibility as a citizenry? What is "civil society"? What does it mean to "contribute" to your neighborhood, city, state, nation?

San Francisco's primary transit system, BART, is on the brink of collapse. They just conducted a series of 1000 interviews and learned that only 17% of riders feel safe on the train. This is what happens when you don't enforce basic laws.

Why aren’t people riding BART? Hint: It’s not remote work.

Can someone please explain this to me: Why is it okay for Hillary Clinton to accuse Republicans of planning to steal an election, while the Democrats' main critique of Republicans these days is their "stolen election" rhetoric?
