I’m aware not all are. It’s funny though that suddenly people who are against reasonable bg checks suddenly aren’t.

We’ve been there for a long while and refused to see it, for personal comfort and safety. It will require a lot more temperance, courage, sacrifice, a lot less reactionarianism.

I fully agree! I just meant we were wrong about them not doing anything to check his worst impulses, but I was about as clear as mud in my conveyance.

Additionally, we have to factor in the sleeper agents, intended and not, bribes, threats, and other sorts of coercion. At the end of the day, everything is a huge risk and calculated gamble, but risks can be mitigated and gambles calculated, but we need to take our time and plan well, lest the losses be greater. In retrospect, that the US colonies of England won their revolution was a freaking miracle, paid for with a lot of personal and collective sacrifice. And heart. And that’s the way it’s always going to be, if any people collectively or indivually, is ever going to throw off the yoke of their oppressors.

I’m not sure giving people on the streets weapons wholesale is the answer when many are there due to illnesses that manifest in violence.

So far, it only seems to be ratcheting up persecution.

Women, children, differently gendered and slight of build are raped regularly, in addition to other physical abuse on the streets as well.

“I do think this city is clamoring for something new and different,” Heastie said. "He has a romantic view of what this city can be and should be. And sometimes people want to be romanced.”

It’s more than romance. It’s been proven time and again it costs taxpayers less. The issue is, it costs the extravagantly wealthy and their fantastically wealthy megacorporations more.

Tbf, no, everyone criticized the “adults in the room” the first time around, myself included, for not doing anything constructive. We were wrong.

I wonder how the kids and families that experienced two school shootings on that day are doing?

Maybe

Why would they need to do that when backdoors are mandated by law, if it’s a US company doing business compelled by US law?

Are they now searching for the kids? Also, Goodbye any weak illusion of privacy we gaslit ourselves into believing we had.

Ah, thank you. You did well.

Sabby Sabb has an wild video up.

“redacted the names of specified categories of individuals out of an abundance of caution to ensure no potential victims are publicly identifiable” when it turned over the book last week but that after “further review, we identified one redacted name that does not appear to fit within those categories.”

So the ones who still are useful.

Our problem is, despite shocking “alternate realities” occasionally bursting through our own carefully cultivated protective bubbles, we still refuse to acknowledge that people are, in fact, doing just that, and it doesn’t matter if they’re the majority. They’re the loudest and most persistent, and that’s what got us where we are. HRC was so confident the Don couldn’t win, and I expressed alarm and said he was going to win and people poo-poohed and hand waved my concerns aside. And here we are and people are still too busy looking back, being mad an unwinnable candidate lost, while Charlie Kirk is dead, the left and LGBTQ are being banned <-- should’ve been “blamed”, but banned is the effect --and Nick "I fucked your movement baby”* Fuentes ideals are still winning.
