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.
Dear MAGA,
You hated Pope Francis.
You hate Pope Leo XIV.
You hate ideals taught by Jesus Christ, like loving thy neighbor, feeding the poor, and treating immigrants (strangers) with kindness.
Maybe you're not as Christian as you say.
Maybe the problem is YOU.
Think about it.
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.
The struggle of our time is between a ruling class that defends greed, oligarchy & authoritarianism against a progressive movement that believes in a vibrant democracy and economic, racial & environmental justice. It’s a struggle that, for our nation’s future, we must not lose.

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

The 7 leading Republican billionaires contributed over $1 billion to Republican candidates in the 2024 cycle.
The 7 leading Democrats contributed $245 million.
When billionaires buy elections, we are living in an oligarchy, not a democracy. We must overturn Citizens’ United.
