50,000 people had to evacuate in Orange County. Some had to leave in 5 minutes. There is going to be a massive explosion and fireball or a massive toxic spill. Why isn't this being commented on?

US-led wars have killed close to a million people since 2000, about half of them civilians. Trillions of dollars, gone. Our brains are not built to comprehend harm at this scale.

Do you ever think about how strange it is - globally, historically - to live in a country that's never at peace? My whole adult life, the US has been bombing or invading other countries. Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran. This is not a normal thing.
aljazeera.com
How many countries has the US bombed since 2001, and how much has it cost?
Since 9/11, the US has engaged in three full-scale wars, bombing at least 10 countries under four presidents.

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up
But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said.

There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said.

Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change.

"He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
