We Don't Need Another Hero

Schools churches and other places getting swallowed up by militarization from the inside and out. Where is the inequality and concentrated power leading the society?

Societies, churches and schools mirroring violent extremism only grows the violent extremism and instead of bigger than life heroes, safety and security, everyone becomes smaller and smaller, in danger, and more and more insecure.

It's murky, but apparently he'd rented the space. He was hiding out there when he shot himself.

Our distinguished (or is that disgusting) president used the shooter's foreign birth as an excuse to shitcan one whole immigration program. How long before foreign students are illegal and universities have to increase tuition to break even?

Leftist and liberal gun groups are seeing a rush of new members

Several niche, left-leaning gun advocacy groups said that since the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, they can hardly keep up with the surging demand for firearms training.

With President Donald Trump sending armed federal agents into communities around the country, even more once gun-shy liberals and leftists are considering getting armed. And while Americans tend to think of gun owners as leaning more Republican and male, already more women, gay people and people of color have taken up arms in recent years, particularly after 2020.

Oh sure, most of the real activists around here own guns. My wife won't have one in the house, otherwise I'd have been practicing at the range like everyone else. Nothing new here, it's been that way since the last round of Federal excesses. In fact, it's been obvious from the start that the US stopped being a free country after 9/11.
