@Oilfield_Rando@AlexNowrasteh .Oilfield_Rando: “Shhhh, shhh, there there, little Guatemalan children, at least it wasn’t American children instead. And at least it was a fellow Guatemalan who attacked you instead of an American. You see, child rape is something that should only happen between compatriots.”
When wars are fought in cities, an estimated 90% of casualties are civilians.
Homes without families.
Schools without students.
Patients without medicines.
Hospitals without electricity.
Neighborhoods without people.
Heavy explosive weapons shouldn't be used in cities.
@drcrystalheath My understanding is that the medical benefits of castration—especially vs. sterilization, which accomplishes the same main goal by less drastic means—are a mixed bag at best (varying by species and sex). I'm not a trained medical professional, though.

IDF officers and soldiers tell Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present https://t.co/CuTtHDFKBo
@AliceFromQueens@Cyberpunk781 Deportation is heterogeneous. To me, the key *interior* immigration enforcement stats are the number of "at-large" arrests and the number of non-federal custodial arrests. Federal custodial arrests is mostly driven by border trends (arrests, crossings). https://t.co/aPS2KQGRXC
The neighbor cats spray our house in a targeted way, emphasizing doors and other entry points. They want us to smell them from the inside. I took deterrent measures, and now they spray the windshield of the car just above the cabin air intake vent. They will not be denied.
@AliceFromQueens As they wake up for breakfast and grill some bacon from a pig that lived a short, miserable life in a pen barely big enough to contain him, covered in feces, Americans lament the cruel fate of a lone squirrel that lived much longer than one in the wild
@SeanMcCarthyCom Common take but bad take. Strong families do just fine at inculcating this kind of selective "mourning" based on cuteness and familiarity rather than sentience and ability to suffer. It's not empathy, it's aww-mpathy. And it has a long pedigree.
