Love this.
Let's make the world more like this:

If you love, love everyone.

If you stand against hate, stand against all hate.

If you reject violence, reject all violence.

Open your heart and fill it with kindness and empathy for other people's suffering year-round.

I stand against antisemitism. Do you?

My middle son asked me about why I thought so many people supported 47. What I see is some very privileged, disconnected people acting like brats. They don’t realize they’re breaking down a nation that had potential. They don’t realize how far it can fall and with it all their privileges.

Horrible
I work with many gun violence survivors who do this work so that no one else has to go through the trauma they had to endure.

What Trump sad is a slap in the face to every single one of them.

Interesting information on global peacefulness indexes. In the US murders are down 50% since 1991.

After seeing the horrible event against the Jewish community in Australia yesterday, it feels like a shitty coincidence that I posted my experience and info about gun control there. The small blessing is that the shooters had access to what appeared to be shot guns minimizing death.

Between 2018-2019, Australia had 92 murder victims of firearms. www.abs.gov.au/statistics/p...
416 people total. 1.7 out if 100,000 people were murdered, of those 0.37 per 100,000 by guns. In the US in 2019, there were over 10,000 murders just by firearm. That’s 3.04 per 100,000. 🧵

When the Miller pair got married I scrambled to understand what type of person would marry Stephen. The info back then was sparse. They are a match made in an untreated sewage tank.

Violent unstable behavior
You said this officer’s behavior was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” 

So why was he reinstated three days later? 

Secretary Noem, I await your response. Your fellow Republicans may not recognize that Congress is a co-equal branch, but I do.

Accountability isn’t optional.

Here's the full story. You met with AI executives, took a robust AI bill, and then watered it down so that it's almost meaningless.

No wonder you won't answer when New York residents call your office. You don't want to hear what we think.

Our bad take of the day comes from Mark Cuban.

Medicare already serves every American over 65 and does it fairly well. National healthcare gives bargaining power to the govt.

Cuban knows that European countries do this and pay FAR LESS for the same treatments and have better outcomes.
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.

What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

Who in the USA gov runs the program?

R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?
