The shame is right now there are Republicans and Democrats, black people and white people, straight people and LGBTQ people waiting to see who the Apalachee High School shooter in Georgia is so they can use it for their narrative.

 @Activ1stLucyConstitution from Illinois  agreed…2yrs2Y

We all know it was likely an FBI or CIA groomed person no matter what. Georgia is a battleground state. Random timing on the mass shooting for sure.

 @L1bertarian2001Working Family from Tennessee  agreed…2yrs2Y

Why can’t we all just agree that whoever the shooter is, they are evil.

 @S0cialistEmiliaWomen’s Equality from Tennessee  commented…2yrs2Y

True. But I also think it does a disservice to the public to not be curious and explore the shooter’s background in search of motives.

In the Nashville shooting, the media was disappointingly uninterested in exploring the shooter’s manifesto, to the public’s detriment

 @WelfareSarahVeteran from Texas  commented…2yrs2Y

Nothing will ever change. The government won’t secure the schools because they use it to push an agenda. Just like the order. We are expendable. They secure their own though. Bet.

 @CivilRightsLeahDemocrat from Texas  commented…2yrs2Y

Mike Collins represents GA-10 where Apalachee High School is located. He featured guns in his campaign ads.

 @SadRightistDemocrat from Georgia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

What does this have to do with anything? Absolute garbage post. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, seriously. Politicizing instead grieving with the families of those lost. Freaking ridiculous.

 @IdealisticVultureDemocrat from Georgia  agreed…2yrs2Y

Mike Collins is pro-election lies, pro-gun, anti-family and anti-democracy.

 @PloverRubyGreen from Illinois  agreed…2yrs2Y

Idiots like that crack me up... talking about **** he doesn't even understand while holding a gun to look menacing.

 @PoliticalPolarGeckoForwardfrom Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

Universal, national background checks–no exceptions–with a fully populated, real-time updated database to check against. Red flag laws. Owners insurance. Penalties for unsecured guns. Certain classes of arms & ammo stored in and used at gun clubs only, never at home or in public.

 @MercifulPl4tformPeace and Freedom from Washington D.C.  agreed…2yrs2Y

As a gun owner, I have no problem with any of this.

As a gun owner in Massachusetts, I'm glad we have some of this already. Coincidentally, we're also the 2nd lowest state in the country for firearm mortality.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Considering the emotional and physical toll of school shootings, how should schools prepare students and staff without inducing fear or anxiety?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways do you believe society contributes to the occurrence of school shootings, and how can we, as individuals, work to counteract these influences?

Biden bans new offshore oil drilling along most of US coastline

President Joe Biden announced a ban on new offshore oil and gas drilling along most of the US coastline on Monday in a move designed to bolster his environmental and climate legacy as he prepares to leave office.The order will protect 625mn acres of ocean on the US east coast, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific coasts of Washington, Oregon and California, as well as portions of the Northern Bering Sea in Alaska, the White House said on Monday.“My decision reflects what the coastal communities, business and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation’s energy needs,” Biden said.The executive action will not prevent oil and gas companies obtaining leases in the central and western parts of the Gulf of Mexico, areas that produce almost 15 per cent of the nation’s oil supplies. Nevertheless, the move is expected to complicate the policy agenda of incoming president Donald Trump, who has vowed to “drill, baby, drill” and boost US oil production, even though it is already at a record level.The Trump transition team said it was a disgraceful decision designed to exact “political revenge on the American people” and the incoming president said he would immediately “unban” Biden’s prohibition on new offshore drilling.“I have the right to unban it immediately . . . we can’t let that happen to our country. It’s our greatest, it’s really our greatest economic asset,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview on Monday.Biden’s action will probably be challenged by the oil industry in court and face pushback from Republicans in Congress. But overturning the order could prove challenging and may require an act of Congress, according to legal experts.Biden is using his authority under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, to protect the areas from drilling — the same mechanism which former president Barack Obama used previously to ban offshore drilling in some Arctic and Atlantic waters in 2016.In 2019, a federal judge ruled that an executive order by former president Donald Trump that lifted an Obama-era ban on oil and gas drilling in the Arctic Ocean was unlawful.

Michigan Showdown: Rashida Tlaib Snubs Kamala Harris as Gaza Crisis Roils Arab American Voters

Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who spoke at a United Auto Workers rally in Detroit Friday night, declined to endorse Kamala Harris just four days out from Election Day, according to The Detroit News.The Democratic lawmaker encouraged union members to vote but kept her speech focused on down-ballot races. Tlaib, who is Palestinian American, is the only member of the Squad to withhold her support for Harris and has been vocal in her criticism of the Biden administration’s Israel policy.The war in Gaza has remained a top issue in battleground Michigan, where more than 100,000 voters cast their ballots for “uncommitted” in the state’s primary earlier this year, spurring concerns about the Democratic presidential candidate’s chances in the state. Harris has continued to face protests on the trail, as demonstrators call for her to break with President Joe Biden and support an arms embargo on Israel.The Uncommitted National Movement, confounded by Layla Elabed, Tlaib’s sister, announced in September that it wouldn’t endorse Harris while saying it opposed Donald Trump.Harris has been endorsed by several other leaders in the Arab American and Muslim community, and aides have met privately with leaders across battleground states in recent months. The vice president met briefly with a group of Arab American and Muslim leaders last month in Flint, Michigan, to discuss their concerns about Gaza and civilian casualties in Lebanon.
