Three U.S. troops were killed and five more “seriously wounded” as part of the joint U.S.-Israel operation targeting Iranian military sites and government officials, according to U.S. Central Command, marking the first American deaths in the conflict. ...
If there was more structured organizing, the state would have to be receptive. When the economy fully stops, they listen. A one off Saturday protest like No Kings doesn't work because its irregular and not a financial protest. Tell your friends to stop using their credit cards, full stop. I appreciate your protest and am not saying you aren't doing enough. But Americans as a whole can be doing a whole lot more, it's embarrassing how many just whine about the democrats. Organize the left, the revolution is sanctions on all US companies

That said I still just borrow my partners and haven't bothered to buy one.

That doesn't make it less of a scientific approach. source: spending time in indigenous governed communities alongside government scientists
Yeah, I do understand where you're coming from. Science is only now reconciling with the fact that white man knew very little about land and interconnectedness. The stories citing environmental events do have some sort of spiritual advice but not to the effect of Christianity and the like. if you don't want to listen or prescribe a personal connection to indigenous stories they aren't going to tell you you're a horrible person or crucify non believers. There is a difference there, correct.

I understand the sentiment nowadays, particularly with coffins. But calling the mass enslavement and murder of black people a waste of space even though it's been there for nearly a century or more is odd. The industrial park is a better use of space?
Confused, are you saying domestic violence and statutory rape are just cultural norms? How could that possibly be blamed on anything other than colonialism...
