Catherine Beecher is the perfect choice to juxtapose with Charlie Kirk. In the era when American women began advocating for suffrage, Beecher was a prominent anti-suffragist.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

What was one way they could have stopped this?

By running a better candidate who didn't support a genocide in the 2024 election and winning it.

Anything else?

In case you were worried that discourse couldn’t get more stupid (the β€œthey” in the first post is Democrats, the β€œthis” is the ongoing military action in Iran):

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I've been shouting for a decade that they don't care about the law...they'll violate it any time it suits their purpose and only enforce it to suit their purpose. We need to stop being surprised and put pressure on our other leadership to do something about instead of waiting and begging by text.

Just stating the obvious here, but we have to build a government that doesn't starve and bomb the planet for kicks.

Five students killed in US-Israeli strikes on elementary school A girls’ elementary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab was directly struck during Saturday’s US-Israeli attacks on Iranian cities, according to Iranian authorities.

An Israeli missile hit an all girls elementary school in Minab, a city in southern Iran.

They’re targeting children.

Again.

Five girls are dead.

More may be disabled.

It’s utterly devastating and predictable.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

"A Gallup poll last year found 40% of American women, ages 15-44, would like to permanently move overseas, if possible."

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a β€œweapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Oh THANK YOU for this education.
My 20 years of experience with multiple DME providers for not only orthotics but half a dozen other pieces of medical equipment left me COMPLETLETELY IGNORANT.
And DME/Orthotics companies NEVER go insolvent halfway through an order, that never ever happens.

This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.
