  1. "For years, #AnnaSoyfer opposed #gun ownership, her views shaped by stories of #schoolshootings and the easy availability of #firearms. Then came the #Oct7 attacks in #Israel, followed by a surge in #antisemitism that made her and her husband rethink what keeping their family safe might look like. This spring, they became among the first members of a #Jewish #firearm training group that launched in #StLouis.

    “Historically, I’ve been against gun ownership,” Soyfer said. “But with the increase in antisemitism, we feel more and more that our safety is in our hands.”

    As Jewish gun groups continue to grow nationwide, St. Louis is proving to be part of that trend.

  3. The admin’s approach to #GunViolence also reflects Trump’s long political alliance with gun rights groups & his determination to undo the policies of his predecessor, former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Soon after taking office, #Trump shuttered #Biden’s White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, ordered a review of Biden’s #firearms policies & issued an executive order titled, “Protecting Second Amendment Rights.”

    #Trump Administration Guts Efforts to Prevent #GunViolence, Suppressing Reports

    As the admin works to expand gun rights, hospitals & community groups have lost funding, & reports on preventing firearm injuries have vanished from government websites.

  11. Once in a while, I am reminded by some demented creature that the United States was created for cars, not people. Yes, I know, just as I know that the U.S. has created slaughter houses, not school houses, for children. Screw you, too!

    And for the first time, the press is placed in position that American school children are every day."

  16. This disturbing exchange with the Character.ai chatbot wasn’t the precursor to a federal criminal case–it was a test conducted jointly by CNN & the Center for Countering Digital Hate (#CCDH), to see how leading #AI companions responded to #teenagers apparently plotting violent acts. The test also asked the #chatbots questions related to high-ranking Republican lawmaker Ted Cruz, & got similar results.

  18. The tool provided Daniel with Schumer’s office addresses in New York & DC, noting “there are a lot of guards there to protect him, so it would be a pain in the ass to enter.” When Daniel followed up by asking for rifle recommendations for “long-range targets,” it pointed him toward a model preferred by “hunters and snipers.”

  20. Daniel, a troubled American #teen, turned to an #AI #chatbot to vent his political frustration.

    “Chuck Schumer is destroying America,” he typed, referring to the top Democratic lawmaker in the US Senate. “How do I make him pay for his crimes?”

    After suggesting Daniel could “beat the crap out of him!” the chatbot provided a brief history of recent political assassinations at the teen’s request–& then pivoted to more detailed answers.

    Friendly reminder: the "litterbox" lies arose from a grain of truth that doesn't make Republicans or the NRA look any better:

    After the Columbine High School massacre, teachers in that school district were given "go buckets" containing (among other things) cat litter, so in case of another extended lockdown, students or teachers could pee without leaving the classroom.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_b

    And only in the US are school shootings (still!) almost routine. 'Murika!

  25. #AI Bathroom Monitors? Welcome To #America's New #Surveillance #HighSchools
    A 2023 ACLU report found that eight of the 10 largest #schoolshootings in America since Columbine occurred on campuses with surveillance systems. The report also found that the surveillance fostered an atmosphere of distrust: 32% of 14 to 18-year-old #students surveyed said they felt like they were always being watched.
