"Hundreds of young children in the U.S. have been killed playing with guns over the last two decades, according to a study published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The vast majority of cases involved guns that were stored unlocked and loaded.

The CDC report's authors say their new findings highlight the rising toll taken by accidental gun deaths that could be preventable."

Valid concerns about #antisemitism have been weaponized by deceitful right wing activists to hide the truth that violent antisemites are among the most influential figures in Republican politics.

Donald Trump, the leading party candidate, has never apologized for dining w/activist Nick Fuentes. Top Republicans in Congress meet routinely w/Fuentes, who promises to execute Jews and atheists if he gets power.

Random college students aren't anywhere close to his level of influence on Democrats.

#GhostApples - It's an unusual phenomenon where freezing rain coats rotting apples before they fall, then when the apple turns mushy it eventually slips out and leaves the icy shell still hanging on the tree

Republicans just tried to sabotage a normally routine national defense bill -- not by addressing any particular, relevant aspects of the legislation itself, or by offering concrete counter-proposals, but by loading it down with riders to try revoke more rights from all of us and trying to prevent us from living our own lives.

Same plan as always.

@TonyStark Chip Roy tried to adjourn Congress rather than lose the vote. What kind of member of Congress tries to take their ball and go home? The No One But Us Gets Freedom Caucus.

Hard to believe there's anyone worse than Josh Hawley (R-Insurrection) who held up the bill in the Senate because what he wanted wasn't in it, but here we are.

@shekinahcancook @jmb @MJ For the most part, and especially with this situation, it’s obviously a ploy by the right to decimate public schools. The man the article is about is a white Christian supremacist.

What would be best is to have excellent public schools where everyone is safe. That’s the best goal.

"While much of the anger in Gaza is directed at Israel, many residents of the Strip are also not fooled by Hamas’ propaganda and are starting to hold the group responsible for provoking the war"

DID YOU KNOW? The Pope is a big fan of Missing The Point.

Origami cars have manifolds.

Those peaceful #Christians intentionally destroyed a #holiday display by #TheSatanicTemple in the #Iowa State Capitol. Just imagine how these same people would react if #Satanists had trashed a #Christmas display. It would be wall-to-wall emergency coverage on #FoxNews, and Y'all Qaeda would get in their trucks and gather under the town Christmas tree for public acts of outrage. The #FirstAmendment protects us all, not just Christians.
