Things I Did Not Know Were Controversial Until Christmas Dinner

Everyone deserves FREE public Healthcare. You only have one life on this world, why would you have to choose between eating and healthcare?

Healthcare should not be FOR PROFIT. The only industry that profits from LIVES and DEATHS is WAR.

Everyone should have access to affordable higher education. Learning is our only way to combat oppression.

Everyone should be able to control what they do to their bodies. Their bodies should not be regulated and procedures should not be signed off on another entity. Minors are the only exception as they may be too young to understand a specific procedure so a DISCUSSION would be beneficial between parent/guardian, the minor, and the doctor.

The Death Penalty is wrong. People are wrongly committed because of the corrupt justice system that sides with who has more money and connections.

Physical punishment is wrong. A child does not need to be hit to learn when something is wrong.

VACCINATE THE CHILDREN! It is NOT herd immunity. You can get sick with disease while vaccinated, but your risk of getting it and ot being severe is LOWERED.

FREE SCHOOL LUNCH. It is mandatory for children to go to public school for EIGHT hours for free. Why should they pay for lunch when they go for 8 hours for free and it's mandatory?

ANYTHING OTHER THAN A DEFINITIVE YES IS A NO!

ABORTION BANS ARE IMMORAL. Why punish people who have medical issues with their lives at risk and force birth (and don't care about a child once it's here) so the elite can continue stuffing pockets full of green?

GUNS SHOULD BE MORE REGULATED. An AR-15 (weapon designed for quick massive death) and a shotgun (for hunting) are two different things.

WE ARE A COUNTRY BUILT ON IMMIGRATION. Why punish thought that did the same as our ancestors?

PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT LIKE YOU! Why punish people for being different than you?

TAX THE ULTRA WEALTHY! Anything over a billion dollars should be taxed. If the elite benefit from scamming the working class, they should be punished by taking away their hoard of wealth.

EVERYONE DESERVES THE RIGHT TO THE COST OF LIVING! Minimum wage was designed to be the cost of living. Why isn't it anymore?

EVERYONE DESERVES SHELTER! You cannot address the issues of poverty without providing housing. Providing housing reduces stress.

I am currently writing this as I am traveling home (not driving, but passenger), so I will add more as I remember more. If you wonderful people have more to the points, feel free to add more.

Gun regulation now!

(NYX Volume 2 #2)

[gimme-da-sword]

Ok so like yes everyone is happy that a ceo got shot, but that doesn't erase problems with the second amendment. There are still more school shootings in a year than fucking days. One person using a gun to exact justice does not make the fact that fucking seven year olds have to accept that the possibility them not coming home from school one day is just a fact of life. Gun regulation laws are not nearly strict enough. Children are dying and no one gives a fuck. It's not even like it's some big impossible question to figure out, because multiple ass countries have efficient gun policies. Is a yearly mental check up so impossible? Are children dying daily not reason enough to give a fuck? Another thing is that universal healthcare has literally been instituted into 32/33 main developed countries in the world, so it should not get to the point that citizens are resorting to murder for their problems to be even noticed. Luigi Mangione (if he is the killer) is justified in his actions, but that does not make shitty gun laws ok in any other circumstance.

Read the article on cnn.com

Gun-control advocates praised the court’s ruling. “This is a huge victory for survivors and it WILL save lives,” March for Our Lives posted on X. Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, said the case shouldn’t have been heard by the high court in the first place and its decision to take it up “shows just how extreme this court has become.” Advocates for domestic violence survivors have pointed to research that shows the risk of homicide increases by 500% if a gun is present in a domestic violence situation. Amy Sánchez, CEO of the Battered Women’s Justice Project, said in a statement that the group was “encouraged by the court’s decision. “Upholding the restriction on firearm access for abusers ensures that these protective measures remain effective and that survivors are not placed at greater risk,” she said. Ruth Glenn, the president of Survivor Justice Action, an organization that advocates for survivors of domestic violence, told CNN Friday that “today’s ruling only really solidifies that we have more work to do.”

We need to talk about gun rights

This usually isn't the type of content I like to post and this has been said time and time again but I feel like I have to bring something to the table because of recent events in my life

Of course i'll put trigger warnings for those who don't wish to view this type of content from me

TW: Mention of school shooter threats

Hello, as you all know my name is Alec, I'm 17, Jewish, and I'm a Junior in Highschool. I have a little sister who's only three years younger than me and who is in MIDDLE SCHOOL.

Last night she had to tell me that her school had gotten a shooting threat, Of course I immediately contacted our mother to suggest that we both stay home today because I could not in my right mind have my sister dropped off at school when the notion of a threat looms right over her in an environment she should be safe in. I didn't feel safe enough to go to school today either.

I've been in a lockdown before where the threat was somebody with a weapon of an unspecified type and it was one of the most horrific things I've ever had to experience in my entire life and I'd wish that type of fear and panic to nobody on this Earth. Not even my worst enemy.

Nothing is worse than having to sit in a classroom and fear for your life and your friend's lives because of somebody else. A substitute didn't have a lock to lock the door and couldn't find the bolo stick to put into the floor by the door.

After we were allowed out I had asked him if everything went okay and that's when he had told me that. He had stood in front of the door and was completely ready to lose his life for the kids he was in charge of.

I've had to teach my best friend where every available exit in the school was his freshman year because in the event that something does occur I want him to have a chance of getting out.

I have lost experiences such as homecoming and valuable time in school because I was too afraid to show up because of these threats.

Adults and Students, especially young ones, alike shouldn't have to worry about getting killed in an environment where they're supposed to be safe and learn in! Everyone should have a right to feel and be safe in their schools. One day I hope laws will come down harder on gun laws so kids don't have to memorize exits in their schools, to always keep it in the back of their heads that they might not go home that day and especially so no parent has to lose their child to something so horrific.

If you would like to help prevent gun violence I'd recommend donating to Sandy Hook Promise, i'll leave a link below. Thank you all for listening.

There have been 416 school shootings since Columbine.

The most recent school shooting was today (September 4th, 2024).

I’m so exhausted from the horror of the world, and I’m hurting for everyone in Georgia.

I’m begging you, vote and canvass for gun regulation and reform.

📱Text APPROVAL to 50409 and earn FREE Coins!

I just tried it out and here's my feedback:

For President Biden, I might vote to reelect him because he took steps to repeal discriminatory policies like the Trans Ban (DADT 2.0). While I appreciate this progress, I hope to see a more critical approach to U.S. support and funding for Israel. Even still, Trump would be worse for Palestine. Vote Blue No Matter Who, until we get Ranked Choice Voting.

For Senator Murkowski, I approve of her reelection because I appreciate Senator Murkowski's dedication to child development and her progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights. However, I wish she would support stronger gun regulation and prioritize green initiatives more consistently. I'm encouraged by her stance against Trump's policies.

For Senator Sullivan, I strongly oppose Senator Sullivan due to his positions against reproductive rights, transgender rights, and affordable healthcare. Additionally, his denial of climate change, support for gerrymandering, and alignment with extremist views surrounding the January 6 insurrection are deeply concerning. He is an un-American Trump Sucker and I need him out of my chair this instant.

For Rep. Peltola, I approve of her because I appreciate Senator Peltola's support for COVID-19 proposals and her progressive stance on marriage, children, LGBTQ+, and transgender rights. However, I believe there is room for improvement in her support for military service members, veterans, and moderate gun regulation.

NRA Warns That Gun Regulations Could Lead to Decrease in Mass Shootings

FAIR OAKS, VIRGINIA - In wake of the recent Abundant Life Christian School Shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, there have once again been calls to regulate the selling of firearms in the United States. In response to these calls, America’s leading gun lobbying organization, the National Rifle Association (NRA), has warned the American public that gun regulation could reduce mass shootings across the country by as much as 99%.

“While we understand people’s grievances with irresponsible gun use, people got to understand that regulating our rights in such a way is a slippery slope,” NRA President Bob Barr told reporters. “The Second Amendment is clear: Americans have the right to bear arms, and by extension, the freedom to commit any shooting they’d like. Gun regulations would jeopardize this freedom. If we’re not careful, we might wake up one day to find ourselves in a country with significantly less mass shootings, and that isn’t the America that our Founding Fathers envisioned now, isn’t it?”

When asked to address people’s safety concerns about firearms getting in the wrong hands, Barr would brush off these concerns. “The world isn’t always sunshine and rainbows,” he explained. “If you’re worried about getting your feed hurt every once in a while, then maybe you should just stay inside.

In accordance with the NRA’s concerns, President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to counter the left’s calls for gun control by by banning guns in the country entirely to ensure that they can’t regulate the industry at all.
