The school in St. Louis had metal detectors. Police said the doors were locked. There were armed guards inside the school. Two people are dead. Republicans will tell you the solution is somehow more guns. On Nov 8, you need to tell them they’re full of shit.

Liz Truss implemented the GOP's whole economic plan and collapsed her economy within a month. I feel like this should be a bigger deal in the Midterms...

I can't help but contrast these sentimental images of a woman kissing avian flu-infected birds to the disgust that many westerners expressed at niche Chinese culinary traditions that were being implicated in coronavirus spillover in early 2020.

Alaska's snow crab season has been canceled for the first time in the state's history. An estimated 1 billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared, which is a 90% drop in their population. This is a major blow to America's seafood industry and could cost the economy $200 million.

Nika Shakarami and Sarina Esmailzadeh were killed by Iranian security forces after joining the widespread protests in the country. Their bodies were handed back to their families bruised and disfigured. They were both just 16. nyti.ms/3yDiXQn

If only they would listen to scripture.
Health and Safety, Public Health, Risk Assessment, and Social Responsibility in the Bible. A thread you can share with Christians who think they can do whatever they want to, and that God will keep them safe even if they're behaving stupidly.
