the military said one of the Syrian air defense missiles exploded over Israeli territory without causing any damage. Israeli police said the rocket’s remains landed in the southern Israeli city of Rahat.
In response to the rocket, Israeli jets struck the air defense battery from where the anti-aircraft rocket was launched. The military said it also struck other targets, without elaborating.
That is probably something they should elaborate on…
6000 tweets is only for people with Twitter Blue, and it counts scrolling past a series of tweets on your timeline as reading them, so it’s really easy to hit that limit even as a paying bootlicker.
For those of us sane enough to not spend any money on that godforsaken platform, it’s only 600 tweets, which is disgustingly easy to hit. Scroll a little through your timeline, open a few tweets to read replies, and you’ve hit your limit in less than 30 minutes.
Ok. So what should I be doing about it now? I’ve been on the recycling train for 30 years, I ride my bike instead of driving as much as possible, I compost and grow vegetables with it to name a few things. What else would our corporate overlords like me to do while they do nothing but gouge us?
It’s disgusting that I first scrolled past this headline and shrugged before coming back to make this comment.
The reality is that this is not a problem that can be solved by individual action. The only way forward is systemic change away from the capitalist system where large industry is owned by the oligarchs. What people in the west need to do is to start organizing a movement for socialism before capitalism kills us all.
I don’t have kids but am perfectly happy to pay more tax to make education free or cheaper. How can anyone argue that a less educated society is better? The more people that can experience higher education is plainly a good thing. There could be someone out there who could make a medical or technological breakthrough but doesn’t get the chance because they can’t afford to go to college.
I think the main argument is that this isn’t the way to go about that. The universities are totally out of control and need to be forced to curb their spending to make things more affordable before we just start handing them public funding like this.
Well I think this move is only going to hurt people in the short run, it was just asking for further dive in a recession, I do agree with this sentiment of it.
Tuition prices are absolutely insane. Colleges and universities are spending money on ridiculous nonsense, and that needs to be reigned in severely before Just throwing billions more taxpayer dollars at them.
That said, these funds weren’t going to the universities. They were going to the banks, so cutting this off isn’t going to influence tuition rates in any way.
I always vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. But this just confirms my choice once again. Hopefully the 26 million people the Republicans screwed over will come to the same conclusion.
I disagree. I was raised in a strongly Republican family. Fox News was perpetually on in my house, and Rush Limbaugh was a staple in the car. It took me until my 20s to start thinking for myself politically, and many years later, I now despise the Republican party and have gained the confidence to be outspoken about it. (I'm quite introverted, so that's kind of a big deal for me.)
For example, I grew up praying in Catholic churches for an end to abortion without really understanding its need as a medical procedure. It was only through education that I learned it isn't the horror show I had been told it is.
I'm just one person, but I know there must be more like me. People do change their views, and I hope more formerly brainwashed people like myself can be encouraged to change as well. There's still hope. Encourage people through education, not insults.
I am like you! My dad_loved_Rush Limbaugh. But I was raised nondenominational. Became a Calvinist for a little while, worked at a Christian summer camp. Then got my first job at a U-Haul where my coworkers mostly POC. I met my future husband there, who helped me see how fucked up my upbringing was. Honestly it's been twelve years and I'm still uncovering shit.
But yeah, change is possible, just difficult. It's difficult to leave your tribe because they're fuckwits.
I know this upsets a lot of people, but the ruling isn’t without justification. $450B++ in government spending should not be accomplished through a legal loophole. (Quite aside from the fact that fiscal stimulus is the last thing the economy needs right now.)
It is absolutely without justification. The language of the HEROES Act allows the Secretary of Education to “waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the student financial aid programs under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965.” This is not a loophole, it is the law, passed by Congress. And regardless of any foreseen impact on the economy, SCOTUS should not legislate. Otherwise, they’re just an activist court.
These police departments are given tons of tax payer money to protect and serve the people.
With the level of training and resources available, it shouldn’t be asking too much to expect these criminals to face a fair legal process and an opportunity to be rehabilitated. Not put down like a rabid animal. Shoot them with bear tranquilizer or something. Also, technology is amazing these days. They could surely invest their bloated budgets to find something better than a bullet to bring somebody into custody.
To a certain degree though, it was a fuck around and find out moment. The driver was operating a deadly weapon (a car), and the police officers warned him to stop, he didn’t, and got shot. Nobody is to blame here aside from the driver.
My thoughts exactly. People keep saying “but what if it happened to you?” But hey, if police is pointing a gun at me I’m sure as hell listening very attentively and doing exactly and only what they say as if my life depended on it. So I’m pretty sure it won’t happen to me. ¯*(ツ)*/¯
Sure, agreed. In this case however the criminal was refusing to be detained to be prosecuted, and was clearly willing to do anything to avoid it, trying to flee in his car.
As unfortunate as it was, this outcome is preferable to him crashing and killing an innocent victim while fleeing.

Hope y’all are ready for another once in a lifetime market crash.
Prices still haven’t gone down from the pandemic era but wages have stayed stagnant. People are barely getting by as it is, but now they have another 2-600 monthly bill added on top of everything else?
