If you're wondering why this act of murder seems to be gaining more traction than others it's because politicians and the media decided to make it a big deal. You have to do that from time to time instead of always going "lol fml freal though" 24/7.

Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

Demanding more from Dems is good. Striking a deal behind the scenes with a politician who will need your support is good. Not airing out your political dirty laundry is good. Making a scene and saying “Dems are bad,” “don’t vote for this Dem,” is bad.

Stuck on this gutting sentence on the Women’s Institute decision. For young people it’s watching the world close to them before they’ve had a shot at life, for older women it’s watching half a century of progress vanish. Either way it’s grossly, unbearably cruel.
