Their BeSMART training addressed all of this, including unintentional (not accidental) shootings. Live fire and marksmanship training will do NOTHING to prevent kids from accessing unsecured guns. They are selling a class on how to BUY a gun 👇🏻.
The mere PRESENCE of a gun in the home increases the risk of suicide by 300%, and the leading FORMER gun violence prevention org is going to train you on how to purchase a gun.

When you look at the research, it's remarkable how inefficient deliberate practice and study are for increasing kids' vocabularies. Free reading generally turns out to be more effective than direct, explicit instruction, even for learning academic words: bit.ly/3qFtPbO

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

This is possibly the most significant attack on trans rights in this country yet, and I can count the number of posts on my timeline about this on my hands.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
