I appreciate you, OP, and I’m sure I speak on behalf of many here on Lemmy. Your posts are very enlightening. Thank you so much for all that you do.

I imagine you must be a history teacher, historian, or something to that effect. (No need to respond to that.)

Hi, I came here to up-vote this comment. Thank you, and yes, I clearly recall.

You’re a good, kind, knowledgeable soul. Please keep being you.

This rocks - I’ll be there! The protests are therapeutic and our numbers are increasing. See you on the street, dear reader. We are many.

Here is Vedant Patel whitewashing the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people - let’s not forget this individual:

May Vedant Patel get what he deserves.

They were also accused of providing fraudulently completed vaccination record cards for over 1,900 doses of the vaccine in exchange for either a cash or a donation to a specified charitable organization.

It seems to me it might be more than two vaccine doses.

The government also alleged some children were given saline shots, at their parents’ request, so the minors believed they were getting the vaccine.

Right-wing parents lying to their own children. There are no words…

It takes courage to do what you’re doing and you have my support. All the very best to you.

This meme is powerful and sends a very important message. The next protest is on July 17. I hope I get to see you out on the street with me. If we can keep pulling up our numbers, it can make a huge difference. I choose to believe.

LadyButterfly, you’re the positive force on this platform. And you inspire us all. Keep being you.

Thank you for explaining the matter so well for us all. It’s much appreciated.

Thank you for posting this.

Sergey Brin is a Nazi and a genocide enabler.

Good riddance, genocide enabler. Don’t let the door slam you on the way out.

Davis said that over the last two decades, most of the terror attacks in Canada have been perpetrated by ideologically motivated violent extremism.

“We’re not talking about al-Qaida and Islamic State. We’re talking about anti-Muslim, ‘Incel’ or anti-government extremists. And I think that’s one of those things that Canadians don’t necessarily understand. The Islamic State makes the news, but it’s really this other type of terrorism that’s the real problem in this country.”

I’m going to guess the terrorists in this case are not drag queens, but rather, right-wing extremists.

They found that a U.S. child was 15% to 20% more likely to have a chronic condition in 2023 than a child in 2011. In particular, the prevalence of depression, anxiety, sleep apnea and obesity all increased, as did rates of autism, behavioral problems, developmental delays and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Yikes, that’s bad.

“What we found is that from 2010 to 2023, kids in the United States were 80% more likely to die” than their peers in these nations, he says.

Among infants, these disparities in mortality were driven largely by sudden unexpected infant death and prematurity. In older children and adolescents, the gap was fueled by gun violence, motor-vehicle crashes and substance abuse.

Imagine a child in the US being almost twice as likely to die as compared to a peer in Europe - and it falling down to guns, car accidents, drugs, and lack of healthcare. This is very sad.

I think that’s based on locale. In some English-speaking areas, people might use “holiday” instead.

Very well stated - thank you, LadyButterfly.

It turns out that most people do not like hatred.

The body approved a measure that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics.” The reasoning: “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.”

Union members speaking on the floor rejected the ADL’s abuse of the term “antisemitism” to punish critics of Israel, its use of hyperinflated statistics on hate crimes to gin up fears about Jewish safety, and its characterization of calls for Palestinian rights as “hate speech.”

“Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change,” said NEA delegate Stephen Siegel from the assembly floor.

NEA members also cited the ADL’s history of discouraging anti-racist organizing, including attacking the anti-Apartheid and Black Lives Matter movements.

I’m glad the educators have dumped this genocide-enabling organization.

Thank you for asking the important question. I came here to up-vote your comment.
