When people talk about how systemic and structural issues don't exist but the data all looks like this.

A tweet saying "every single municipal budget looks like the dril candle budget tweet" with a graph showing Police taking like 90% of a city's budget. Baltimore specifically.

Blood is America's 9th Largest Export
Desperate citizens + lack of regulations = a booming blood trade in America. 400 plasma-collection clinics have opened since 2020.

In 2023, American blood - product exports made up 1.8% of the country's total goods exports. The total value of blood products exported was $37 Billion.
That makes blood the USA's ninth-largest goods export - ahead of coal and gold!

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
“As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
“Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.
