Not sure if this was #BDS-linked, but the #BDSMovement is a global menace.

They encourage these kinds of violent "protests," spectacular boycotts, and closures that simply disrupt other people's lives (not just #Jewish)

In #US, #BDSHorseShoe blames #Biden, threatens to upend #WorldSecurity by handing #Election2024 to #Trump and unleash horrors upon the whole world

Hamas strategically employs civilian homes for military operations, often with their operatives dressing as civilians. However, when Israel responds to these actions, it is frequently labeled as 'war crimes.' Stop the hypocrisy.

It’s not Champaign unless it comes from the Champaign region of Illinois.

If the gunnuts always blame mental health for mass shootings, how about mental health screenings included in a universal background check before obtaining a gun? Maybe even some training? Licensing? Registration?

L.A. woman, 88, had private security for protection. A guard shot her on New Year’s Eve

@Huntn00 @AlliFlowers Yes, I think this is key to the delight that a certain group of citizens always expresses when their "enemies" are targeted: they imagine they themselves won't ever be targeted in similar fashion. History inevitably proves them wrong.

As long as Republicans are in charge of much of the nation, gun reform won't be addressed. More innocents will die, their loved ones will suffer, & America loses. Another tragedy because of gun violence:

An active shooter at another one of America's schools today. Multiple victims have been reported at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa.

#Trump took in ≥$7.8 million from foreign governments / entities while in office most of it from China, provably engaging in exactly the kind of conduct the #GOP is grasping to pin on President #Biden.

"We have yet another promising line of research for curing T1 Diabetes, even in people with no functioning islet cells left. The plan is to get other cells to differentiate into islet cells, and then to protect them from the immune system. Isn’t living in the future great?" #Science #Diabetes https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/1/3/2214893/-Diabetes-Regenerating-Islet-Cells-Food-Research-at-Home

Long ago, I had a miscarriage that didn't expel & was making me very ill. My doc in California removed it before sepsis set in, probably saving my life.
Texas would let me die.
It's as simple as that.
