In light of the rehabilitation of Chris Rock that is currently going on in the media, I think it is important, not only to note that he has made a career of attacking women, people with disabilities and of course transgendered persons, he might not have deserved a slap, i wont go there, but he is NOT the victim, he is an evil asshole. If you publicly support him I will report and block you. I dont stand for racists, nor any other form of misogyny or queerphobia (or anti Jewish or Muslim crap)

@seldear @TonyStark actually gun safety laws dramatically effect your life and your family's life. guns in the home greatly increase the chances of a gun death in the home. people carrying a weapon are dramatically more likely to die by a weapon. guns, in e3very case, make you and those you care about less safe, not more.

@Krisss Post Katrina for quarter broke my heart. I haven’t been in about a decade. I’m hoping it’s better these days. If you ever get to go good luck try to stay in the quarter it makes a huge difference.

Loaves and FishesIt just occurred to me, if Jesus was a TV evangelist, or a "Christian politician" he would have eaten all the fish and bread and told the people to go home, fix themselves some food and bring him 10% of it tomorrow...

@3nzof3rrari3 @1finekitty I have no guns, no interest in guns. I am not a coward. when i was 10 i got a .22 rifle and took it in the woods around our house and shot AT things:) when i grew up, i got rid of it, as I had no use for it or any other gun.

@staidwinnow @msbellows @1finekitty even if you have a sociopathic neighbor, the odds are still much greater the gun will be used against you a=or a family member than the odds your evil neighbor will kill you. that is the point. in an instance, a gun might offer you protection from someone outside the family, but over time, even with the worst neighbors, the gun is more likely to kill than protect you and your family. it is not arbitrary. you can review crime stats for yourself.

@staidwinnow @msbellows @1finekitty these facts remain, there are, in the USA, about 8000 armed home invasions. about 100 of them end in death of a member of the household. of those 100, 15 are people with no gun. 85 are homes with guns and a family member dies, or about 7 times more likely to die if you have a gun in the home!of the 45,000+ gun deaths per year in the USA, white men account for over 30,000 deaths, including 20,000+ suicides and around 10,000 white on white gun murders1/2

@staidwinnow @msbellows @1finekitty2/2almost no none is killed by a gun in the USA in a home without a gun. it makes sense , but gun owners dont seem to make the connection. the best gun safety you can have is to not have a gun. if you like guns, they are legal, so you may have one, but they do not make you or your family safer.

@SusanHR @Computeforloot @staidwinnow @msbellows @1finekitty 142,000,000 homes, 8,000 home invasions/year, 100 deaths during home invasions. if you own a gun to protect your family, your odds of needing a gun for this purpose (even though statistics show it is ineffective in these cases), your odds are .0000007 or 7 in 10,000,000. The chances you or a loved one will die from suicide/accidental shooting/family dispute is 40,000 in 55,000,000 or 7 in 10,000. The gun adds 1000 times the risk!

We have been told for generations that lowering taxes on the rich helps the economy, and that "increased entitlements" are a burden the taxpayer cannot afford.These are lies. The truth, borne out by history is this:Programs that help the poor, the working poor and those unable to work, actually benefit the overall economy and are not a net tax burden on the taxpayers. 1/2#work #education #healthcare #help #investment #food #economy #tax #taxes #housing

2/2Tax reductions targeted to the wealthiest of the wealthy are actually disinvestments in America and do create a burden on the taxpayer and the economy!If one looks at the overall economy for the past 100 years, we see the higher investment we make in those who need help with housing, food, education and healthcare, the richer and stronger we grow as an entire country. Quit believing the lies. look at the facts!

Every Memorial Day, I vow to spend the next year making sure we never again send Americans off to kill and be killed in the name of corporate profits or the theft and oppression of other peoples.Too many of our brave citizens have been so squandered, since the beginning of our country.

VP Harris reaffirms the USA support for genocide…I am at a loss. I think the Biden/Harris ticket is the best hope for America, but not only do I think I am left with a horrible choice, I think they may have just blown the election with their support for genocide.

America really need a 4 passenger 200 mile range $25k EV (after credits, rebates or whatever). that would be a game changer. could replace most 1st cars and almost all 2nd cars.
