People worry 'moderate' Democrats are the same as Republicans. Our study shows they're right Men who refer to themselves as 'moderate' or 'centrist' score basically the same on values and opinions as peopleΒ who identify themselves as 'conservative'

They were teens when a parent was deported. They still feel the pain as adults The Guardian spoke to adults now in their 20s, 30s, and 40s to reflect on the lasting impact of family separation in the US

NEW: For @theguardian.com, I spoke to people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s whose parents were deported under the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations about the long-term impacts of family separation:

So between denying trans kids access to affirmative healthcare and the guidance effectively banning social transition in schools, one could be forgiven for concluding that the government's strategy is to to maximise the suicides of trans kids, to minimise the numbers who survive to be trans adults.

All pornography is bad.
As someone who is still somewhat caught in its grip, it is a despicable evil, a very blight on the human condition that should be utterly eradicated.
It does to your brain, your conscience, and morality, the same thing smoking does to your lungs.

Scorsese has always been captivated by what can be expected of a person, and how a person may or may not live up to a personal moral code. It is dialectic that runs throughout the entirety of his work. Scorsese made a few films prior to Mean Streets in 1973, but the course was set for him ever since Harvey Keitel’s gangster character in that film got on his knees and prayed for guidance. Scorsese seems to always come back to the question of whether or not a man can ever truly be good, and he has wavered back and forth with his answer. Jake LaMotta punched his way into an animalistic state in Raging Bull (1980) in pursuit of it, Christ nearly failed when he was given the task of weighing our qualities against his crucifixion in The Last Temptation of Christ, and we are shown to be merciless and not worthy of such a sacrifice in Killers of the Flower Moon’s portrait of aboriginal genocide within an American community. Scorsese is probably American cinema’s greatest chronicler of the post-world war II era, and he has remained vital because his questions have remained personal, even when they’ve become maximalist in his final years, and he has begun to grapple with centuries of violence. I don’t believe he has much faith in the collective body of mankind, but I think a hope remains in his films that one man can do one good thing on any given day, and that it can matter a great deal to put in the effort to try. In his adaptation of β€œSilence” there are many examples of this happening, and they are among some of the most moving and profound moments in the picture. He finds God in hopeless places, between men clasping each others palms, in acts of mercy, and in the sacrifice of identity for the sake of another person’s safety.

Israel's systematic attempts to kill the entire Iranian opposition leadership in Iran is indicative of what (some) of us have been sayingβ€” Israel doesn't not want to turn the IRI into a democratic republican state, it wants there to be no state. It wants a rubble-state, Gaza or Yemen or worse.

The Islamic regime is claiming more than 50+ β€œmartyrs” were killed at a girls school in Minab …except they forgot to mention that the school is literally part of the Asif corps of the IRGC on base, which was targeted. Not only that, it’s also being used as an IRGC admin, command and medical facility at this time.

Meanwhile, Anti-regime media has said no students were killed nor was the school itself the target.

Those school girls were soldiers and therefore deserved to be obliterated by a US/Israeli bomb, but also they're not dead but also it'd be good if they were dead

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.
