Yes, exactly! Inadequate signage, poor crowd management, badly designed parade route that required narrow pedestrian bridges, too many pinch points, too small/not enough egress routes, piles of garbage hazards, and more! Hubby's a vet & wanted to support the Army but we refused to be seen as pro-47.

As a human factors person who spends a lot of time with root cause analysis, the logistics & planning of this event would have been at the top of the diagram had it been unlucky and a disaster happened.

Okay, a third point:
3. Violence against Jewish and Israeli people because of the government's actions in Gaza is also not okay, and won't do anything to stop the slaughter.

Two points:
1. Criticism of and protest against the brutal, genocidal actions of Israel's government is NOT the same thing as antisemitism.
2. Violence against Jewish people *simply & only because they are Jewish* IS antisemitic.

He's got a personal vendetta against Harvard because they refused to admit Barron.

This report is... STAGGERING. Astonishing in the worst way. And now all those Jan 6 convicts have been pardoned. They are free to resume their terrible agenda. It's horrifying.

That's some good news from Texas for once!

He was in violation of the Emolument Clause of the constitution on day 1 of his first administration, and he got away with it. Of course he is continuing to enrich himself with foreign money. He is always on the grift and doesn't care where the money comes from.

Wow. That sounds like the kind of guy who is later discovered to have dozens of women and children who have been trafficked, held captive in his compound, and raped and sexually abused. Like Epstein and Diddy.
We should not be worshipping or enabling men like this.

The parental rights movement completely overlooks the *children's* right to reality-based education at age-appropriate levels of detail. Blocking access to LGBTQ+ books or science facts is LYING to them & impairs their ability to understand the truth about themselves, the world & people in it.

That's because they only care about children (and women) as RESOURCES, as PROPERTY they control and exploit. Kids who receive reality-based sexual education are more likely to recognize and report abuse.

Praying does nothing. If the pope was serious about helping Gaza, he'd be using the massive wealth and power of the Catholic church to protect the people of Gaza. He'd have the church actively standing against Netanyahu. He'd be arranging peace talks and negotiations. But he does none of this.

The constitutional crisis is NOW. Stop the "right v. left, he said they said" framing. It's representative democracy v. authoritarianism & fascism, literally life and freedom v. death & tyranny. Everything he DOES is counter to the law and constitution & drags us deeper into a fascist dictatorship.
