imagine aiming a 15m target on a range
now imagine doing it down an empty school hallway
now imagine there are kids running and screaming everywhere
now imagine your adrenaline is pumping and you're shaking
now imagine someone's shooting at you
gunfights aren't so simple, ask the Uvalde cops

Trump on school shootings: "We have great teachers that love our children, and if you took a small percentage of those teachers that were in the military and you let them carry, that's something that a lot of people like. I sort of liked it."

That’s the issue, though. Shit like this is the reason sundown towns still exist (and often thrive) in this country. Their founders and town leaders are treated with respect that they do not deserve, nor is it warranted
Could a non-white reporter do this story? No

A New York Times real estate reporter interviewed the founder of an Arkansas housing development that admits only white, heterosexual people. “I treated him like a human,” she said. “He invited me in.”

There is a lot of bad shit going on but inaccurately characterizing what is going on doesn't help. IMO exaggerating or mischaracterizing just encourages doomer behavior
It's probably a fool's errand to post about this on social media but this phenomenon seems particularly bad today

Again: if you were trying to completely implode rural America and force mass Urban flight I am really unsure how you would be doing anything different.
If this bill passes, the hospital closures start nearly immediately. Can't even imagine how many tens or hundreds of billions in corporate debt/credit is calculated on the presumption of these funds. We are potentially talking "GOP loses every single senate race in 2026" territory
Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation that the Senate GOP’s planned Medicaid cuts “would be historic in their devastation.”

Ukraine just carried out what may prove to be the most strategically devastating insurgent attack on military assets in the 21st century, an eighteen month cross border drone infiltration / raid potentially destroying a third or so of Russia's best long range bombers

The open fighting between India and Pakistan looks as bad as it's been in a long long time. India claiming to have hit nine targets inside Pakistan, Pakistan claiming to have downed two jets and hit an airbase. Every possibility things get worse from here.

and coming from the most thin skinned and whiniest group of people constantly complaining about people being mean to them
One of the weirdest fads of MAGA rhetoric is a loathing of "empathy." (Sometimes they talk of "suicidal empathy," which Elon Musk, that colossal jackass, calls a "civilizational risk.")
Let's examine the stupidities and hypocrisies of this anti-empathy rhetoric:

It’s hypocritical and often misogynistic—and echoes totalitarian rhetoric.

reminder to check and see if you have REAL ID (likely a bigass star on the top right of your driver’s license)
A whole lot of Americans will not be able to get REAL ID appointments before May and will have to cancel planned air travel.
You’d think the airlines would be angrier about the Trump administration’s constant efforts to specifically destroy their business.

I tried to see if I could schedule an appointment to get a REAL ID in Massachusetts for after I get back to the U.S. on April 20th, and naturally, there’s nothing available.
This will go great.

Been advising my friends & family of this for a couple weeks. Y'all might want to go ahead and purchase any durable goods you might have on your wishlists because inventories are going to absolutely *crater* over the next several weeks, even with the "pause" (that's not a pause).
US peeps, if you're looking to purchase something like a window air conditioner, freezer, dehumidifier, or really anything semi-durable which can be obtained from a big box store... well you might want to take advantage of the inventory that's already here.
