This movie’s main character personifies our entire society today. Everybody’s been pushed too far by selfish corrupt politicians, rich soulless oligarchs and corporate thugs. How much pressure can we take before we snap? …and what will snapping look like? It blows my mind that we will teach children how to endure and hopefully survive school shootings instead of addressing how we deny people access to basic needs and support services then abuse them until they snap. Our willingness to sacrifice community safety to maintain brutal socioeconomic divisions and cruel corrupt practices in an atmosphere devoid of support but overflowing with easy access weapons is not very intelligent. Healthy people who’s basic needs are met don’t snap and go on shooting rampages. If you want safe schools and public places forget the gun debate, STOP mistreating and abusing people until they snap. Addressing our problem’s with rising deaths of despair and social violence like mass shootings is not rocket science. Premature death and social violence are natural responses to prolonged cruelty, oppression and structural violence. If you abuse a dog long enough one of two things will happen. Either it will curl up and die (human suicide/overdose) or it will lose its mind and attack you (human social violence/mass shootings). https://lnkd.in/g57sQJdZ

Sheryl Sandberg’s documentary 'Screams Before Silence' is now available, offering an in-depth look at the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7th. This documentary features never-before-heard eyewitness accounts from released hostages, survivors, and first responders. It provides a voice and agency to victims who are often silenced, emphasizing the need for individual acts of courage that can instigate significant change, even amidst challenges in international human rights efforts. 'Screams Before Silence' is more than a documentary—it is a powerful call to action. Six months have elapsed since these horrific crimes occurred. We remain steadfast in our commitment to keeping these atrocities in the public eye, conducting rigorous investigations, and ensuring justice for all the victims.

Frontline dropped another amazing documentary. This time it is about the events that happened during one of the deadliest school shootings the US has ever seen. "Drawing on real-time, firsthand accounts, FRONTLINE, @ProPublica and @texastribune reconstruct law enforcement’s chaotic response to the May 2022 Uvalde school shooting and examine the missteps and lessons learned. Using official bodycam, audio and investigative interviews with responding officers, the documentary reconstructs how events unfolded at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, giving a detailed analysis of one of the most criticized mass shooting responses in recent history, and providing real-time insight into law enforcement’s thoughts and actions. The documentary and in-depth story co-published by the news organizations provide powerful accountability reporting about what went wrong in the response to one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history." https://lnkd.in/gwm_ffb8

We've barely made it past Monday and what a week it's shaping up to be: 🥷A writer for The Atlantic bemoans on NPR that colleges have dishonored their legacy of civil disobedience by suppressing student protests. Evidently, threats, intimidation, and depriving other students of access to services covered by tuition are all protected by the First Amendment... as long as you're promoting a politically acceptable cause. 🥷Palestinian sympathizers disrupt a Holocaust memorial service at Auschwitz, of all places. Their chants of "stop genocide" are not only misinformed and misdirected but 80 years too late. 🥷Democracy may be in its death throes, as the American president slips toward institutionalization for dementia and his contender slips toward incarceration for a litany of indictments. But despite all that, my day turned considerably brighter when this short film appeared on my YouTube homepage. Since "Post-It" has been viewed only 7 million times, you might have missed it, as I did. I strongly recommend that you to set aside the next seven minutes and correct that oversight immediately... or watch it again. Then think about all the simple ways you can bright up someone else's day. https://lnkd.in/gPpscU8V #ethics #culture #mindset #perspective #positivity

There is no rule in politics, political businesses, war and love! So, it is cowardly to cry for rights! If you have the breath to fight and win then you are fit to survive and dominate others! The universal rule in practice world wide is basically Wild Rule "Survival of the Fittest"! All other rules based on morality are mostly for the self satisfaction of the weak people and driven by their merely emotion and excuses to escape responsibility, work, action, hardworking, dedication and are the issues and/or subjects exercised for academic, diplomatic and marketing of ideology, making money and earning reputation purposes as you will see in the 'talk-shows' and many other motivational quotes, words, comments, propaganda and speeches to promote merely for own benefits and safeguard the interests of the allied and/or axis powers and the collaborators fellow followers of same mind and motive regardless of friends or foes of the states or the nations whatsoever!

SO important. https://lnkd.in/gUjNQzzK

To my UNITED STATES Are we, as a country really that fractured? Can we not UNITE with a common goal or purpose? Our families? Can we NOT identify as “who we voted for in the last election” (Shameless “The News Room” reference)!?? I love Bill Maher. I DO NOT agree with all of his politics, nor do I agree with all your politics. Comedians are NOT supposed to be “politically correct!” They are supposed to push the boundaries and make us realize how “Completely out-of-bounds (ie: F’d up) our beliefs, behaviors, morales, and our focus! As “Dennis Miller (comedian) said in one of his ‘Rants’ - “Focus on your families, DA** It! PLEASE… Focus on maintaining/observing ALL the BILL OF RIGHTS! Focus on unifying our homes, our neighborhoods, or cities, and most importantly OUR COUNTRY, the UNITED States of America! #family #loveyourneighbor #readytowork #patriotism #peaceonearth #peaceandprosperity https://lnkd.in/ghzQ3tR6?
