Guns are the leading cause of death for kids under 17. We heard, "The Constitution has tied our hands. Nothing we can do." But if you're a citizen by birth, suddenly the Constitution is no obstacle. Copy that.

We watched Nosferatu tonight. Overall positive (and thoroughly repulsed) impressions. As others have said, great cinematography, especially the tribute to the 1922 film's use of shadows to evoke dread. Some of the dialog delivery was tough for me (Dafoe), but I'm no artist

If you were mad a CEO was killed, but apathetic to thousands of children killed annually by guns, you're a hypocrite.

2,000+ children are killed by guns every year in the United States. Responses are 'Constitution,' 'bad apple,' 'mental health,' or silence. One CEO is killed and suddenly it's a problem.

They're not even trying to hide corruption anymore
The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Absurd. Disinformation is a factor, but Americans share a responsibility not to be willfully ignorant. This info is publicly available via the Census, Pew, etc. Here are approx. real percentages:
*Trans: 1.1%
*Muslim: 1.1%
*Jewish: 2.4%
*Black: 13.6%
*Live in NYC: 2.5%
*Gay/Lesbian: 7.1%
*Trans: 1.1%
*Muslim: 1.1%
*Jewish: 2.4%
*Black: 13.6%
*Live in NYC: 2.5%
*Gay/Lesbian: 7.1%
This is what demographic panic looks like. When people are this uninformed, democracy faces serious headwinds.

Forbes heroes continue to end up in prison for fraud. When I started my MBA, Hopkins had a mandatory business ethics class. It was my favorite class, but the school has since made it an elective. Cause-effect.
