Actually, funding has a very large part to do with moving away from institutions. You’ll find money is behind most big decisions in this country. Not that I’m defending the hell that is institutions
Edit for the haters: go ask someone tomorrow how much a “score” is. Most people would have to look it up, which makes it inappropriate for a headline where “hundreds” is more appropriate.
Speaking to ABC News on Sunday morning, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US had “every expectation” that Israel would “say yes” to the proposed ceasefire deal if Hamas accepts....
We expect them to accept their own plan? Dude, fuck Israel at this point. This shouldn’t be newsworthy, and yet it is, because of course there’s a good chance they would reject their own plan in order to keep killing women and children.

This is happening in my state. I hope a law is proposed to counter sue people like this and absolutely ruin them
“Fathers of aborted fetuses can sue for wrongful death in states with abortion bans, even if the abortion occurs out-of-state,” Mitchell said in a statement. “They can sue anyone who paid for the abortion, anyone who aided or abetted the travel, and anyone involved in the manufacture or distribution of abortion drugs.”
