He’s not running though? This is him changing his personal party choice for voting.

I have a couple of concerns with this.

The first being if some states are going to try to use this against any kids charged with being child sex offenders, like several states have done with teenagers who have sex with each other (or have nude pictures of each other).

An additional concern is obviously conservatives trying to use this against trans people and drag queens, whom they are already trying to define as sex offenders just for existing in public.

Another concern or just question is…is this meant to be a deterrent? And is it even effective in that? For a lot of child sex offenders, a major component of the pleasure derived is from having power over the child in question. Removing their genitals wouldn’t necessarily change that? It’s possible it may even have them turn more to violence toward children as their outlet.

I’m just wondering on the effectiveness of this method. Is there any evidence at all or is this being done on an emotional whim?

NYU Langone Health. Dunno about the names.

They’ve actually been doing this sort of thing for a while now. They decided rather than pro-environmentalism, they’d rather just be anti-science in general. It’s the same with them protesting any use of nuclear anywhere for any reason.

What American biotech crops? Golden rice was developed by a group of university researchers in Switzerland and have been distributing the rice for free via NGOs.

They’ve been doing that for two decades. Golden rice could have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives by now. Especially the later versions we’re on now. Hopefully it doesn’t violate the self-promotion rules for me to link an article I wrote a long, long time ago on Golden Rice 3.0 and its improved benefits.

I haven’t kept up with the project since, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re on 4.0 or beyond by now, the scientists involved have been working tirelessly for years to make the rice even better and more beneficial for the people who need it.

And anti-science idiots like Greenpeace have been fighting them every step of the way.

Also, that claim is hilarious, because the ICC prosecutor was a very strong supporter of Israel and an arguable Zionist prior to this. It’s actually why some are concerned he’s going to purposefully mess up this whole thing.

Except when the ICC announced Putin as a violator. Biden and Blinken were very happy and supportive of the ICC when that happened. The two of them even said at the time that the ICC has the international rule of law on its side and all signatories should follow its arrest requirements.

Passages Alaska, founded in 2020. The website is incredibly vague on whom the therapy they use is for. They claim it’s for teens who “struggle with anxiety, depression, technology addiction, low self-esteem, and failure to launch” which is, as stated, incredibly vague.

Actual medical anxiety and depression isn’t the fault of the person and needs medicine, not “mindfulness therapy”. And I have no idea what “technology addiction” is. This sounds like parents who are mad at their kid being on their phone all the time.

It seems to be some New Age-y nonsense with a bunch of meditation and yoga BS.

This is the nuclear speech all over again.

That’s precisely why I consider conflating anti-Zionism as anti-semitic is itself anti-semitic. Because it is Zionists trying to tie the Jewish identity and Jewishness as a whole to everything Israel does. Which is just insulting to all Jewish peoples.

And people have been. A counter group was made called the Raven Mission that calls out explicitly pro-Zionism and pro-genocide people and their comments.

They apparently mean private as in invisible to the legal system and not a part of any public records. Not sure what property has ever worked like that for them to be basing such an idea off of.

So, they just have to let themselves be blown up and shot and fighting back is illegal?

I’m talking about right now. For example, for the people in Rafah. Do the Palestinians in Rafah have the right to fight back against the IDF that is shelling them and attacking their homes with tanks?

Question: Is it appropriate for those civilians to get weapons and fight back against the IDF that is killing them?

The shipment stopping prior was only for that one set of bombs. Not all weapons aid entirely.

pats your head It’s okay, I know reading comprehension is difficult for some people.

I knew about that, but that action was taken a couple of days ago before the Rafah attack started. I remember the news articles about it then. Hopefully the above indicates this stoppage will be true for any and all weapons shipments, not just those bombs.

So, since they’re attacking Rafah right now, that means you’re going to stop giving them weapons right now, right? Right?
