@ossoff What about the students that were shot at Evergreen High School today. Are your horrified at that too? Because they deserve to be able study without violence.
Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.
Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.
It’s the guns.
According to a survey by Pew Research Center in late 2021, a whopping 44 percent of childless males say it is unlikely or not at all likely that they'll have children someday. Of those, 50 percent simply (and selfishly) offer a simple reason: they just don’t want kids.

Imagine being upset that someone didn’t want kids leaking menstrual blood onto their clothes. You are pro period poverty, which seems to me to be very anti Christian. Would Jesus have said, “Let them leak blood onto their clothes because they deserve it?”
“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.”

This confirms my suspicion that they don't *have* anything on the liberal justices, even though they've been desperately looking.
Like, Clarence Thomas is out here using the Court to hang literal medals on wealthy donors, and all they got is "Sotomayor pushed books to a library"
The Supreme Court ended affirmative action. The *how* of it is not very interesting: They killed it because they could.
But why? Well, because affirmative action was the only policy where the whiteness card got revoked.

I need folks who are not LGBTQ to understand that today's ruling is not just about a website. It is a clear sign that Obergefell (same sex marriage) and Bostock (LGBTQ employment protections) are in danger of being overturned. This is a devastating ruling. Please understand that.
Flashback to mid-Feb. 2022, when Maria Bartiromo claimed that Russia’s buildup to invade Ukraine was really just a “ruse” created by Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, to distract from something to do with Hillary Clinton. https://t.co/EfEciUcpQ6
Better statement: "Kaitlyn had an impossible job, whiffed on some major points where she failed to follow up (namely infanticide) and tried to wrangle Trump, often without success. She allowed a victim of sexual assault to be disparaged and mocked by Trump and an unruly crowd. The entire thing was an embarrassment. We failed to serve our audience or bring clarity to complex issues facing Americans. We think it probably got good ratings tho, so.... bygones!"
