Wild how wearing a simple mask is "living in fear,"—but forcing our kids to wear bulletproof backpacks behind bulletproof doors & bulletproof windows while allowing open carry AR-15s, unlimited ammo, & body gear because the govment's gonna getcha, is perfectly rational "freedom."
May we not just grieve, but give:
May we not just ache, but act;
May our signed right to bear arms
Never blind our sight from shared harm;
May we choose our children over chaos.
May another innocent never be lost.
Pediatrician here. I want people to know that death by firearm is not rare in kids. In fact, it has been the #1 cause death in this age group since 2020. In 2020 alone, 4300 children died from firearms. That’s equivalent to one Boeing 747 plane crash every month for 9 months.
RT if you’re a U.S. Military Service Member or Veteran that believes weapons of war like AR-15’s don’t belong on America’s streets. Let’s show the vast majority of Americans who believe in common sense gun reform that we stand with them.
This morning was our 1st William Allen White winner reveal party! We had so much fun talking about our favorite books, eating donuts, and getting a preview of the next WAW book list. Looking forward to making this a BW tradition ❤️📚@Bulldogs512@BriarwoodElem
I’ve been thinking more and more that newsrooms need to hold an all-staff meeting where they invite democracy experts & historians in & really do a massive reset of how we are covering what’s happening in our country right now. It’s not about partisanship but covering reality.
