A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes.

Except the stats (art and science) don’t mention that in many of the mass shootings, an AR-15 assault rifle was commonly used. Highly lethal, designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time.
A ridiculous thing to say about the college protests. Last I checked the US hasn’t been spending US tax dollars to Sudanese paramilitaries. Unlike the regular spending of our tax dollars aiding Israel with weapons and constantly looking away at their actions going back decades. Your statement certainly doesn’t pretend to care about the horrific slaughter of these children in darfur either.
Oh yes, don’t forget Jared Kushner’s ‘special relationship’ with the crown prince of saudia arabia that netted him a $2billion investment. Jared spent his time as an official making business deals around the globe while daddy-in-law was in office.

Never underestimate the blood thirst and deeply racist views of people who rationalize the mass slaughter of women and children, of ethnic cleansing. The world is seeing it more clearly now. Israel has had an incredibly successful run of dehumanization propaganda going back decades, until now.
When a military brands itself “the most humane” military like the IDF has. That already should be a clue as to the marketing and propaganda they’ve built up for decades and question why the need for branding at all. Systemic abuses, systemic coverups and blank checks given.
Yes, but are we to believe the IDF is angelic? Considering the dehumanization of Palestinians seems to be so commonplace. If you have to declare you are the most humane, something is amiss.
The Nakba (Arabic: النكبة an-Nakbah, lit. ‘The Catastrophe’) was the ethnic cleansing[2] of Palestinians in Mandatory Palestine during the 1948 Palestine war through their violent displacement and dispossession of land, property, and belongings, along with the destruction of their society, culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations.[3] The term is also used to describe the ongoing persecution and displacement of Palestinians by Israel.[4] As a whole, it covers the shattering of Palestinian society and the long-running rejection of the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
(CNN) The United States and Western nations including the United Kingdom and Germany on Monday skipped an event at the United Nations marking the 75th anniversary of the dispossession of Palestinians after Israel called for a boycott.
The event, the first of its kind to be held by the UN, commemorated the Nakba or “catastrophe” – when roughly 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes in what is now Israel. The commemoration was boycotted by Israeli officials, who also urged diplomats of other nations not to participate.
On Sunday, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, sent a letter to other UN ambassadors “deeply urging” them not to take part in what he called a “shameful Nakba event,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by CNN. Erdan said “Such events only serve to demonize Israel and further push away any chance for reconciliation.”

Blinken saying the quiet part out loud. Tiktok is why people are concerned about the mass slaughter of women and children using our weapons and tax dollars! Damn tiktok and damn those kids!
Noem can’t stop digging the hole she dug herself. Let’s hope this is career suicide we’re witnessing. And South Dakota had one of the worst death rates in the country during covid thanks to Kristi Noem.
How the internet created ever more hucksters. Went from door-to-door to screen-to-screen salespeople. Topping things off, if they’re growing up okay being influenced by a bot, well aren’t we all screwed.
Retailers jacked up prices and squeezed consumers. They might have just blinkedI hope consumers still don’t bat many eyelashes because capitalism best practices def looked to squeeze consumers. Record profits, stock markets riding high, rich got even richer, meanwhile ever more people struggle up and down ‘main street’.
