  • Elon Musk criticized by civil rights groups over claim that diversity efforts make flying less safe

  • Maybe Musk should work harder on making his own automobiles not the most accident-prone cars on the road.

  • As gun violence increases, active shooter defense industry booms

  • From 2021 to 2022 looks like a wash to me: around 700 fewer homicides but 700 more suicides (the number you cropped out of the screenshot). And the numbers for 2023 aren't final yet.

  • How has the rate of U.S. gun deaths changed over time?

    While 2021 saw the highest total number of gun deaths in the U.S., this statistic does not take into account the nation’s growing population. On a per capita basis, there were 14.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2021 – the highest rate since the early 1990s, but still well below the peak of 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974.

    The gun murder rate in the U.S. remains below its peak level despite rising sharply during the pandemic. There were 6.7 gun murders per 100,000 people in 2021, below the 7.2 recorded in 1974.

    The gun suicide rate, on the other hand, is now on par with its historical peak. There were 7.5 gun suicides per 100,000 people in 2021, statistically similar to the 7.7 measured in 1977. (One caveat when considering the 1970s figures: In the CDC’s database, gun murders and gun suicides between 1968 and 1978 are classified as those caused by firearms and explosives. In subsequent years, they are classified as deaths involving firearms only.)

  • 2nd Biden admin official resigns over president's response to Gaza war

  • Just wait until instead of merely keeping Trump's draconian border policies, Biden goes even further than Trump in order to secure funding for more bombs to slaughter Palestinians.

    The 2024 election will be brutal.

  • US condemns far-right Israeli ministers’ call for Palestinians to ‘emigrate’ from Gaza

  • Huh, I'm starting to think that the guy who hung a portrait of a mass shooter in his living room and who was exempted from mandatory IDF service for his far right political background, might not be the good guy here

  • You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. The hospital you're referring to is Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. And the "rocket" from the footage you're referring to has been proven to have been an Iron Dome projectile.

    Israel has also attacked Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Quds hospital, the Indonesian hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital, and the Qatari hospital described in the article.
