They should have just taken the chance to detain him there, but no one seems to care because there's too much powerful support for genocide in the West.

Why do I feel like this is another manifestation of the "dominion over all" mentality? This seems to be a core value for those that practice Christianity and that hold misogynistic ideals. It's just such a slippery slope to Authoritarian/Christian Nationalism from there.

I'm not surprised Cornell is taking this stance and employing this hasty methodology. They have a reputation for being a major business that benefits from massive money flow. It stands to reason that they care more about money than supporting students... Unless they have lots of money.

Thank you for saying this. If you're not in a swing state, it feels like a waste to donate (although I wouldn't donate to her campaign anyways because of her policies). I don't support the duopoly and would prefer to see someone that needs the money actually receive it.

The industry's lobby is so pervasive that any regulation will be fought, no matter how small. I don't know what it's going to take to face the numerous harms that we have to address when it comes to cars and driving, but if the industry and regulators won't care about human health and environmental harms, it's just going to keep being bad.

Hilariously, I have about the same number saved. It's all kinds of places that I've been, want to go to, or just want to keep saved as reference, from all over the world. They just kinda built up over the years and I'm thankful for this thread because I want to make the switch.

Absolutely stellar breakdown.

We're in an era where money is power, and it affords you the time, energy, and other resources to mostly ignore anything you want, even laws. While the working class comparatively has little to no control over their few resources, those that organize are doing so because they feel they have no other choice, and it's literally about survival. I'm sure most folks involved in protests have important things to do in their daily lives and they wouldn't be demonstrating en masse unless it was deemed important.

Strength in numbers is all we have, and to understand the scope of an issue, we must organize, educate, and then disrupt and demonstrate if we ever hope to reform or dismantle systems that continue to exploit every single thing with value in this world. We're seeing the consequences of inaction in real time, and guess what? Climate and ecosystem collapse + severe economic inequality is what we get when we do nothing to course correct.

This is the way.

Hear hear!

100%. I imagine this dude was just begging for a moment like this to shoot someone. Very reminiscent of the young girl that was murdered by the upstate NY homeowner when they turned on to the wrong driveway. This is so awful. I hope that young boy and his friend are okay, and I hope the shooter catches prison time.

Moving past feeling "lucky" to be able to pursue my desires in life, I can't help but feel shame when I reflect on the multitude of reasons why Afghanistan has deteriorated to this state. Yet another tragic victim of foreign invasion and meddling, of which my country is complicit.
