Although he is in fair condition now, the “happy-go-lucky boy who befriended everyone” is left with horrifying consequences of extreme bullying. How can we prevent bullying? Perhaps schools could take more initiative? #mchslang23

Dominick Krankall, a 6-year-old boy, was lit on fire by his neighbor who has been bullying him for a year, according to Dominick’s mom. The bully threw a gasoline-soaked tennis ball on fire, at Dominick’s face but no charges have been made. #mchslang23

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The attack has left the boy with second- and third-degree burns on his face and legs, and most of the boy’s body is swollen and bandaged.

Keeping in mind that voters in Minneapolis “narrowly rejected a proposal to abolish the police force and replace it with a ‘public-health oriented’ department of public safety,” what are some ways to repair the system in Minneapolis? #mchslang23

[Palak N @palakn8]

It took nearly 2 years for “the analysis of police reports, interviews and body camera footage” of Floyd’s death thus, contributing to the consistent signs of racism, misogyny, and inappropriate language among the Minneapolis police. 1/2 #mchslang23

Terrifyingly, anti-Jewish hate crimes “were almost twice that of the previous year” in New York and LA in 2021. The reporters blame social media, mainly due to the lies that were spread during the Palestine-Israel War. What can be done to prevent the past from reoccurring?

@Rachel_Rrr14 I don’t think the mask mandate was lifted too early however, there is a big possibility that we might have to return to distance learning and a mask mandate, if cases continue to rise. I just hope people realize the importance of vaccinations.

@caitlyncaplang Musk seems to have a hidden motive behind this purchase and I don’t think it’s simply about profit or anything. In order to effectively manage this app and it’s workers, Musk needs to have a bigger reason than just wanting “free speech.”

The suspension will cause colossal damage to Russia’s economy as well. Do you think Russia might stop its gas deliveries to other countries? #mchslang23

[Palak N @palakn8]

Russia’s decision to suspend gas to Poland and Bulgaria comes after they failed to pay Russia in rubles, a demand that some countries consider “unacceptable, one-sided breach of contracts and a violation of sanctions.” 1/2 #mchslang23

[The Associated Press @AP]

Officials in Poland and Bulgaria say Russia is suspending their countries’ natural gas deliveries starting on Wednesday.

Europe imports large amounts of Russian natural gas to heat homes, generate electricity and power industry. https://t.co/RHMn8vwb5x

A western official said “Our long-term plan for Ukraine is that it succeeds as a sovereign and independent state” however, those are two different goals. Do you foresee the unity coming to an end? #mchslang23

[Palak N @palakn8]

During the Ukrainian-Russian War, the West came together to help out Ukraine and stand against Russia. Now, as Ukraine is going into the next phase of the war, it’s apparent that there are some differences between the objectives of some of the countries in the West. #mchslang23

Although the honors courses were restored at Patrick Henry High School, if plans of cutting honors classes became popular for “equity” reasons, how would they benefit or disadvantage students? How might it affect college decisions? #mchslang23

This article brings up a popular issue of balancing religious and freedom rights. In this case, Joe Kennedy was fired from his job as a assistant football coach for praying on the field after football games. Where would you draw the line to balance the two rights? #mchslang23

[The Press Democrat @NorthBayNews]

The outcome could strengthen the acceptability of some religious practices in the public school setting. https://t.co/icesIT9HUO

Tensions continue to rise between Israelis and Palestinians as it resulted in violence from inside a holy, hilltop site called the Temple Mount and Haram al Sharif. The situation is incredibly disrespectful considering that it occurred from within a mosque. #mchslang23

[Palak N @palakn8]

@caitlyncaplang I think it is too confusing and stressful if we go back and forth with mask mandates so we should go with the more safe and appropriate choice, whichever one that may be but I do realize that it is much more complicated and can't be decided as easily.

[Palak N @palakn8]

Should a president be able to threaten countries with nuclear power over decisions such as this? Should there be consequences for such statements or is it fair for a country to say such things for their own benefits? #mchslang23

[Reuters @Reuters]

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said that should Sweden and Finland join NATO then Russia would deploy nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles in an exclave in the heart of Europe https://t.co/SnlxpqNeXk

In any instance, especially when talking about homelessness, it is idiotic to compare anything or anyone to someone who is in the history books for all the wrong reasons. 2/2 #mchslang23

[Palak N @palakn8]

It is unbelievable that Senator Frank Niceley thinks Hitler’s life is a good example of a well-lived one and it is scary that someone like him is a senator. 1/2 #mchslang23

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Tennessee state Sen. Frank Niceley supported a bill criminalizing homelessness by saying that the Nazi leader, who was homeless at one point, “went on to lead a life that got him in the history books.” https://t.co/WJYYcYErnB

Gas prices are the highest they’ve ever been in U.S history, and in order to lower the absurd prices, this emergency waiver was issued, but it completely opposes Biden’s green energy agenda. Was it a good decision, considering the upset citizens, or not? #mchslang23

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I am announcing that the Environmental Protection Agency is planning to issue an emergency waiver to allow E15 gasoline — gasoline that uses more ethanol from home-grown crops — to be sold across the U.S. this summer in order to increase fuel supply and lower prices.
