“Why are you here?!"
A furious Sen. Chris Murphy demands answers from senators following Texas school shooting.
“Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer, is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?”
To ask teachers to be on the front line of mass shootings, the front line of a pandemic, and the front line of the struggle against inequality all while underpaying them and systematically underfunding the education system is both cruel and a recipe for societal collapse.
“They were illegal prostitutes. He had a mental illness. He wouldn’t have gone if the parlors didn’t exist. He just shot at whoever.”
I knew it. I knew this would happen. This country humanizes its attackers & dehumanizes its victims because it cannot bear to look at itself.
Details like “he attended church” are dangerous and despicable. The way he spent his personal time bears no weight on the fact that he murdered innocent people in a blatant act of white supremacy. It’s called multiple murders. That kind of outshines his other activities.
