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.

You don't get to celebrate a CEO being shot and then advocate for stricter gun control.

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."

👏👏👏💯 protect kids, not guns and CEOs!

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.

📱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.

Ban guns not books/drag 😡

The real DeSaster is what Ron DeSantis stands for.

An unofficial campaign slogan of DeSantis is “Make America Florida".

DeSantis' 2024 pitch: Make America Florida

Do we really want Proud Boys molls to be able to ban books across the country? 

Florida mom behind Amanda Gorman’s book ban linked to Proud Boys: report

Under DeSantis, Florida has become the state where sanity goes to die. 

It’s always easier to prevent DeSaster than it is to deal with it after it takes place. With the GOP enveloped in extremist hysteria over the past couple of decades, we’re never more than one election away from fascism.

Register and vote in every single election.

Teacher Warns Would-Be School Shooter That Shooting Up School Would End Up on His Permanent Record

SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI - Warning him that he could really mess up his life with this one little mistake, today a high school in Springfield avoided tragedy when when English teacher Elenor Sherbert successfully swayed one of her students, 18 year old Kyle Rodgers, from shooting up the school. According to Sherbert, Kyle opened up to him about his desire to shoot up the school, but after she told him that doing such a thing would end up on his permanent record, he decided to ditch the idea to keep his future in tact.

“Kyle opened up to me about his desire to shoot up our school because he felt like he had been rejected by everyone at the school, and naturally, I was horrified.” Sherbert told reporters. “Like how could somebody throw away their future at all of the great universities and prestigious companies in our state like that? So I basically told him look kid, if you end up committing a mass murder on school grounds, you’ll live to regret it. It’ll end up on your permanent record, and all of your future employers will know, and it’ll effectively ruin your life, and you’ll be stuck attending a lousy community college which will only lead you to working at bottom of the barrel places like in construction or the local garbage company, and do you really want that? That’s when I think he realized what was at stake for him, and he finally backed out of his plan.”

We spoke to Kyle about his change of plans, and he told the Dingleberry Times he didn’t want to end up disappointing his parents by not being successful later on in life, so he decided to that his best course of action was to throw out his school shooting plot so he could secure his future.
