If I intentionally crash into a school bus, it'd be hard to argue I just hate the color yellow. Either, in your world, the cops are too stupid to understand the consequences of their actions, in which case they need to be removed from the situation, their job and be barred for ever being within 1000 miles of a weapon, or they don't care, In which case the same should apply.

2023, in September, there was an article from AP News revealing that 2023 was the deadliest year for Palestinian children to be the last twenty years. The causes of death? The IDF. Exclusively. 10/7 happened because Israel has been causing escalating violence for the last 20 years after 60 years of mild to extreme violence.

Hopefully you see now that Israel deserved and earned 10/7, that this response from them is nothing new, that this fascist colonial project masquerading as a country has been doing this nonstop since before it's official formation in the 1940s.

Yet another example of why the US shouldn't try to enforce it's weird drug laws globally, their enforcement agencies think meth is an opioid and that drug dealers are giving away expensive synthetic opioids disguised as other pills in order to....? Just outright lose money in creative ways?

I hope every officer and prosecutor involved in this is ordered to never work any job where they can affect someone else's life for the rest of their time on Earth.

Homesslessness in the US is about a coin flip off for death or suffering, every hour of every day. Quitting your job or getting fired for insubordination prevents you from collecting unemployment, and most Americans have less than a weeks expenses saved due the the last 60 years of low pay and exponentially rising expenses, causing homelessness if you lose your job. You might die in a hurricane induced flood, but that risk can seem less than slowly dying while homeless or in prison for being homeless.

Neither Dems nor the GOP did the first one, Dems did fail to ever codify the right to privacy or bodily autonomy though, despite every legal scholar for 50 years saying roe was a Shakey decision.

The second one never happened, unless you're confused by just the general existence of the FCC with your half remembered fantasy, and yes, I do remember when Dems fully supported banning travellers based on nationality, Biden cowrote that bill.

Hard disagree, many disasters were directly caused by political decisions. Such as the severity and frequency of the last decade of hurricanes. We chose to make them that severe, actively, wantonly chose that. It should be political.
