But consider that converting a building to wreckage can be quite inexpensive.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The MMR shot really is the minimum for attending school at all levels. Parents can‘t expect their kids to be in social environments while they make deliberately antisocial decisions about the kid’s health.

yeah anyone who thinks this is a great idea wants a five year old victim to have to choose if they want their relative to die
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.
You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

I've just remembered that in the Amber TTRPG, you can become more powerful if you promise to write poetry about every session of the game, but if you don't actually do it, the GM gets the universe to bully you. This is very unrealistic, because IRL, the universe bullies you if you do write poetry.

i think about this constantly. tradwife culture absolutely is a kink and no one will acknowledge that it's basically a 24/7 BDSM arrangement but done in an extremely unsafe and dangerous way.
kinksters who can't/won't acknowledge they're participating in kink are a huge social problem right now, imo. ai gooners, trad influencers and breeding-obsessed politicians are all (among other things) perverts who insist they hate perverts.

I think you can count the part where she spent two years lying for Joe Biden about his physical and cognitive health as well as his actions on Gaza. It takes a village to kill a hundreds of villages worth of kids, is that the saying?
Kamala Harris didn’t run a “great campaign,” a “good campaign,” or a “terrible campaign.” She ran a mini campaign. ‘Twas fun-size. A 90-day campaign-ita. Love her, hate her, or tolerate her, legitimately criticizing her campaign starts and ends with the fact that it was two years too short.

Monstrous on such a cartoonishly villainous level that it's really hard to grasp.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This isn't The Nice Site actually.
this is willful, blatant bigotry. you can't even claim this is in the interest of countering scams, because they're equating being in Gaza with being a spam bot
palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

I think arson would be more compelling myself.
for better or worse, this will probably be the most successful and compelling argument by communities against ICE concentration camps being built:

She would have it at least had a problem with the humanitarian aid not going through. Trump and Netanyahu are 1:1 ratios of each other. This enabled him far more than Harris or even gods forbid Clinton would have. More people are dead from that genocide by a large amount under Trump.
