In just the first year of [Trump's] second term, the U.S. conducted 573 air and drone strikes abroad - more than the 494 carried out during Joe Biden's entire four-year presidency.

Alex Pretti was more of a man than you.
He was actually standing up to a tyrannical government. And he was actually protecting women (remember when you said that's why you were voting for Trump?)
Go watch the videos. Your so-called sworn-to-duty officers were chasing down people who were only observing them, and then attacking them, because Stephen Miller told them to.
Just watch - you'll see one guy having a temper-tantrum and shoving a women who was just standing there, then spraying her in the face with mace, then spraying Alex when he tries to shield her.
After the group pins him to the ground, another guy comes along and smashes a gas canister into his face, multiple times.
Keep watching. Somebody yells something, and then multiple supposedly-trained agents open fire into his back. Ten times.
AND THEN ONE OF THEM APPLAUDS.
You have to be completely delusional to defend this. A government that shoots someone like this, and then lies about it and PRAISES THE OFFICERS is the tyrannical government you're supposedly worried about.

The sub-heading from the link above:
"Children today get more shots than they did in 1986 - but more-efficient vaccines are easier on their immune systems"
Later in the article:
"... that a baby could theoretically respond to 10,000 vaccines simultaneously before using even one percent of circulating B-cells. The real-world schedule barely registers on the immune system's capacity."
Your posts in this thread have been essentially "bigger numbers are scary." That's not science.

Stephen Miller just set up a guy to be murdered in the street by a masked paramilitary force, and now the entire administration is blatantly lying about what we can plainly see in a video.
I think you can remove the quotes from "authoritarianism".
Yes, the Democrats are far from perfect and this amendment isn't great, but JFC learn how to understand imperfect choices instead of continuing like it's sports and you just want to root for your team.

BTW, your 'almost 90' note, besides sounding like a made-up number, isn't really relevant:
"One hundred years ago, children received exactly one vaccine: smallpox. That single shot contained approximately 200 different antigens. Today's entire pediatric schedule exposes a child to about 165 - a fraction of the more than 3,200 in a single 1980s pertussis shot."

The masks have made it easier for people to impersonate police:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The Trump administration has taken police impunity to a whole new level, and the masks are part of it. In addition to the lies they are spouting about the Renee Good shooting, there are examples like this guy, illegally shooting pellets in the faces of at least four people:

Attached to: NASA Acknowledges Record Heat But Avoids Referencing Climate Change
From https://earthbound.report/2024...
Here's Elon Musk in 2006:
"The overarching purpose of Tesla Motors (and the reason I am funding the company) is to help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy towards a solar electric economy, which I believe to be the primary, but not exclusive, sustainable solution."
And in 2024:
"I don't think it's right to sort of vilify the oil and gas industry ... I think we should just generally lean in the direction of sustainability."
In2015:
"The goal is to exit the fossil fuel era as quickly as possible."
In2024:
"If, I don't know, 50 to 100 years from now, we're mostly sustainable. I think that'll probably be okay. So it's not like the house is on fire immediately."
Here's Musk in 2015:
"If we wait, and if we delay the change, the best case is simply delaying that inevitable transition to sustainable energy. The worst case however, is more displacement and destruction than all the wars in history combined."
And in 2024:
"The risk is not as high as a lot of people say it is with respect to global warming. But I think if you just keep increasing the parts per million in the atmosphere long enough, eventually it actually simply gets uncomfortable to breathe. People don't realize this. If you go past a thousand parts per million of CO2, you start getting headaches and nausea."
Yes, that's Elon Musk telling Donald Trump that the biggest issue with carbon emissions is that people get headaches if you get to a thousand ppm of CO2.

There has been significant escalation by ICE, e.g.:

https://newrepublic.com/post/2...
This is on top of other brutal actions:
"We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds"
https://www.propublica.org/art...
"Anti-ICE protester blinded by federal agent during demonstration in Santa Ana"
https://www.latimes.com/califo...
They have probably been emboldened by posts and statements like these:
REMINDER. "To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist-can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice." @StephenM

This is what you voted for:
https://bsky.app/profile/notur...
In case you're scared to watch the video: a woman in a car is trying to get to her doctor, amid a chaotic mess of masked agents and protestors.
The masked guys are yelling conflicting instructions, telling her to both go and to stay. She is trying to communicate with one of them on her side of the car.
Another agent on the other side of the car decides he needs to break her window. Other agents then all pile in - they violently pull her from the car, throw her to the ground, and arrest her.
The are escalating out of control - an outcome that was completely fucking predictable to anyone that actually listened to Trump instead of blocking out things they didn't want to hear.

For anyone questioning the legality of attacking Venezuela and abducting their leader:
Remember we're talking about a highly corrupt leader, a known criminal who used his high office to make billions for himself, and has manipulated elections to stay in power. He has used his military against his own citizens, has protected his corrupt friends and punished his political enemies.
And the President of Venezuela did some bad things too.

To repeat: That sentence was the only one that even mentioned sales taxes; the rest of the study apparently ignored them.
Property taxes, which are often also regressive, are also barely mentioned.
