"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

The difference is not cultural or moral or social. It’s that Australia is a democracy, with electoral, legislative, & judicial that translate the preferences of majorities into policy.
We, too, could have those, but we have to stop ignoring the problem:

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

You know what shouldn’t be controversial?
That there is no — zero — right to own a gun. Zero. Antonin Scalia made that up when he made up an entirely new second amendment in 2008.

Safe storage isn’t controversial; it’s responsible. If you keep a firearm at home, kids should not be able to access it.
No parent should have to bury a child because of an unlocked gun. Ethan’s Law is the standard our children deserve.

I think the general public is very aware now of how utterly corrupt and inept Trump and all of his minions are. Including several supreme court justices. There is a constitutional mechanism for removing them; our national situation is exactly why that mechanism exists. So use it.
Impeachment is a tool for political accountability, not a “sacred” constitutional ritual. If it were truly about evidence, the Senate would’ve convicted Trump unanimously after his coup attempt—the same way every jury has unanimously found him liable or guilty when the facts actually matter.

Make no mistake, if the 14th Amendment should fall - I am not saying it will, there are plenty of obstacles, I am speaking hypothetically - but if it should fall, no one is safe. It is challenging for most families to prove legal citizenship beyond a generation or two.
