I disagree vehemently that an assault weapons ban should be ignored in favor of said generational work, but every other point he makes there is solid. Generations of conservative policy caused the problem. Only generations of progressive/liberal policy can undo it.
As a certified English teacher since 2009, *this* is what I call a strong arguable thesis. tl;dw: Guns are a symptom. Even the most progressive disarmament would target the most marginalized people, first and only. Prioritizing generational work toward social support is a better use of resources.

This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.
I'm planning moon factories powered by magical intelligent bipedal bunnies, and it's just as feasible.

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.

I, too, plan for Moon factories powered by humanoid robots, but mine are cheaper and more efficient and have an equal chance of happening. Where's my speculative investor money?
