wow, that must have been a big surprise to all the slaves.

it pretty obviously meant the rights of white male landowners, in context, historically

Which is why trans girls need to have completely blocked testosterone, usually for a full 2 years, before any kind of competition.

They literally have less testosterone than the cis girls.

Cutting kids off from social media is all about cutting them off from outside information and support. We desperately need a bill of rights for kids, it's tragic how many people are fine with treating them like property.

Many abusive parents already control all of their kids' time outside of school, and for some, the only place to find understanding & support is in forums like r/raisedbynarcissists or LGBT spaces.

Like adults, kids are informed by social media, and if we want to improve their mental health we need to actually address the problems they learn about there, instead of simply preventing them from learning about the real world.

Things like our unwavering march toward an unlivable climate, the malign growth of oppressive, theocratic, authoritarian movements in many governments around the world, the crushing inequitable grind of capitalist culture, or just the ignorant / abusive / bigoted mindset of many fellow citizens are all bad for anyone's mental health, but they need to be understood accurately to be addressed.

Also, if the next president is republican, then Tuberville's military blockade will evaporate, and a big chunk of the military leadership will be immediately filled with people willing to support a republican coup.

If you're supporting the side indiscriminately starving millions, you need to take a very long look in the mirror. This fight is villains vs villains, and civilians are taking the brunt of the brutality from both sides.

And helping Israel would ultimately lead to either a bloody stalemate or the annihilation of Palestine.

These religious fanatics are reaping what they've sown, it's no one else's responsibility to save them from the consequences of their behaviour.

Unfortunately, in "BPA Free" plastic, BPA has usually been replaced with very similar chemicals, which probably cause the same problems.

He's always the one giving a 'bipartisan' veneer to these awful bills. Here's one trying to end encryption, which he co-sponsored with Lindsey Graham

It absolutely can.

Heck just the amount of tax money we know the US billionaires are currently failing to pay (~$160,000,000,000 / year)[1,2] would cover more than 754 Philadelphias using your math, to say nothing of what a fairer tax rate could do.

Idk why Americans are always pretending to be poor, it's the will that's lacking, not the funds.
