    unpopular opinion: in the year 2024, obtaining proof of citizenship should be free and simple to obtain from every municipality, state and federal office. this is the fight we should be having. not whether it's necessary to have proof of citizenship in order to able to vote. of course you should. everyone should. we spend so much political bandwidth on a loser of an issue, year in, year out, for decades, and republicans continue to make hay off something we should be pushing for too. the poll tax argument no longer holds weight, no matter how much you whine about the smallest percentage of the smallest percentage of people who find themselves disenfranchised by the requirement. the amount of support republicans get from this, as in issue that makes logical sense, doesn't add up.

    3. Well meaning though obviously ignorant netziens continue to repost articles, mocking Trump, thereby amplifying his messages of hate and division, which is the only way his molotov cocktail throwing can achieve the goal of keeping him on the front page, and sucking all the air out of any energy praising Harris

    parental leave is quite the concept, you choose to procreate, so the company then needs to cover your responsibilities by assigning your duties and tasks to other workers, increasing their work load, so you can stay home and raise your child, and at the end of that leave, you, the worker whose been forced to increase your workload, gets no additional compensation or paid leave, but should simply enjoy having been a small unpaid part of others child rearing, while the company still makes as much profit, and pays as many bonuses to their management as they always have. sure, sounds fair.

    Haiti? Amongst almost all nations on earth, Haiti has repeatedly proven over and over again that they cannot govern themselves, like, to any degree whatsoever. The corruption is so pervasive, even if an honest politician is elected to any position of authority, corrupt police and military simply look the other way when gangs take aim and assassinate them. This is clear to anyone that's paid any attention to Haiti at all over the last 75 years. The worst thing anyone can possibly do is give Haiti hundreds of Billions of dollars, omg. I mean at some point after say a decade of stability, that would make sense, but not before Haitians can show they won't once again devolve into chaos, riot, starvation, disease, and death. But not anytime soon.

The sheriff identified the student who died as Warren Curtis Grant, 15, of Edgewood. The sheriff said calls started to come in around 12:36 p.m. Friday for an active shooting situation. The sheriff said it turned out the incident was not an active shooter situation. SkyTeam 11 reported at 12:45 p.m. that the school was being evacuated. The sheriff said a 16-year-old boy, for whom Friday was his first day at Joppatowne High School, shot a 15-year-old classmate in a bathroom. Gahler said it's believed a single shot was fired that struck the victim.
